I'm concerned that a person using the name "GeorgeMicro1" on here and Twitter seems to be claiming to have personally taken images which have in some cases been taken directly from the subjects' social media. Commons:Deletion requests/File:Unaffiliated Presidential Candidate Brittany Jones.jpg has already flagged up that a photo CC-licenced by @GeorgeMicro1 on Twitter looks a lot like a still from a video filmed inside a car, filmed by Jones rather than a second person. File:Jasmine Sherman on Train.jpg in this request is characterised by User:GeorgeMicro1 as saw Jasmine Sherman on train in Northern Virginia but is a still from her Instagram reel at https://www.instagram.com/jasmineshermanforpresident/reel/C3asQV_uxTT/.

Some of these images are sourced to tweets by @GeorgeMicro1 which also include a screenshot of an email giving permission for the image's reuse - permission should go through COM:VRT with, at minimum, a forwarded copy of the actual email with full headers.

 Delete, based on the history of the accounts. I would like to note that LordBirdWord was blocked due to sockpuppetry on enwiki by using GeorgeNotFound23 in an AfD, so GeorgeMicro1 may be another case of sockpuppetry or meatpuppetry if they know each other. I'd also put these since they also seem to be lifted from screenshots in the same way:
These photos are also from George Micro's account:
I'd also like to note that File:Casey E Blood for VP.jpg is actually an AI generated derivative of this actual photo of a "Casey Blood" on LinkedIn. reppoptalk 20:31, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
