This file is from Wikimedia Commons and may be used by other projects. The description on its file description page there is shown below.
This media file has been nominated for deletion since 12 January 2026. To discuss it, please visit the nomination page.
Do not remove this tag until the deletion nomination is closed. Reason for the nomination: I request deletion (or at least serious review) of this file because the attribution and description appear to be false or at least very doubtful. – The file is described as "Swastika (Saubastica) on the foot of the baptismal font in the Catholic church of Labach (Knopp-Labach, Südwestpfalz, Germany)" and tagged as "own work, own photo". – However, highly similar or identical images of the same stone with the same lauburu have been used on other websites (for instance mysteria.me) as a generic Basque lauburu carved in a long horizontal stone, with no link to Labach or to any baptismal font. – The stone visible in those images looks like a horizontal lintel/sill and is not compatible in format or proportions with the actual baptismal font shown in other photos of the church of Labach. – When another user (Ultrasiete) asked the uploader on his talk page in 2007 whether the image might have been taken from somewhere else, the uploader did not clearly confirm that he had taken the photo in Labach, but only replied in very general terms ("it's a symbol for sun/life… even in India or Persia"), which does not help to verify the provenance. – Taken together, this strongly suggests that the file may be misattributed (wrong place, wrong context) or not actually the uploader's own photograph. I am not claiming bad faith, but I believe the file should not be used as evidence of a Labach baptismal font symbol if its origin cannot be reliably verified. At minimum, I suggest removing or changing the description and uses in articles; deletion may be appropriate if the "own work" claim is not credible.
