In Commons' c:COM:Public Domain Day, newly free files are undeleted on January 1st each year. This page is to track my efforts in a similar vein:
- deleted files that will become safe to undelete
- non-free files that will enter the public domain in the US ({{Out of copyright in}} is often used for this purpose, arguably incorrectly)
- See also

- File:GertrudeEderle.jpg [4] - photo, first publication unclear
- File:Ram Ram O.jpg [5] - the question is whether this cover art (including coloration?) is present in the 1926 edition and thus under 1926 copyright
