Original photographs rejected as “Non-compliant image” – seeking clarification on possible causes

Hello everyone,

some of my images of the Abu Dhabi Grand Mosque were recently rejected with the generic reason “Non-compliant image”, accompanied by the following possible causes:
– improper use of another artist’s name
– undeclared generative AI content
– content not compliant with general guidelines

This has left me quite puzzled, as all the images are my original work, personally created and still preserved in their original files.

To be absolutely clear: these images are not generated by AI in any way. Some of them were taken in August 2018 using a Nikon camera with Nikon lenses, while others were captured with a smartphone, always by me personally.

As a reference, one of the rejected files contains complete EXIF data (date: August 20, 2018, 09:50) and the original filename is still available.

I would therefore appreciate insights from contributors who may have encountered similar cases, to understand which specific element might have triggered this type of rejection, considering that:
– the author is correctly identified
– no generative AI content is involved
– the images are real, photographic, and not manipulated

Any concrete suggestions regarding metadata, keywords, titles, or Adobe Stock policy-related aspects that could cause such a rejection would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance to anyone willing to share their experience.
