  • Delete. The article already has a likeness of Malcolm Fraser at a similar age, and there is no discussion of this image in the article. Kevin (talk) 09:41, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Criteria claims this is a historical photo, yet there is no discussion of the photo on the article. Other similar photographs already exist on the article and this currently serves no purpose but decoration. Shell babelfish 10:30, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - I have boldly removed this image from 3 articles which did not have fair-use criteria on the description page. I believe a case could be made for inclusion on Boris Yeltsin since the section it appears in is dedicated to describing these men and their influence. I believe the picture, including the recognition from Yelstin and the official surroundings convey an understanding of the position these men came to hold in a way that the article alone could not. However, I would strongly suggest that someone with better knowledge of this particular meeting and its significance update the fair-use rationale to better explain its use.

I'm a bit confused. What reason are you offering for deletion (from policy)? The horse in the picture is used to illustrate an article about said horse.... Fritzpoll (talk) 14:27, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Associated press will be glad to allow you to use this picture to illustrate an article about said horse, as long as you agree to pay a small fee. What's "fair" about using it freely? --Damiens.rf 14:40, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
In fairness, Damien, where in your nomination does it say that's why you nominated it? I was asking a genuine question, since my mind-reading powers are acting up today Fritzpoll (talk) 14:48, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
"non-notable pictures form news agencies to illustrate articles about the image subject ". I.e., our use is not transformative. It's competitive. -Damiens.rf 15:10, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Where on earth is there a statement by this image stating that we must "pay" for its use??? "Uploading non-notable pictures????" An image which identifies a dead horse during its life and racing career which is discussed in the article is non notable?? It is without a doubt perfectly appropriate and generally acceptable on here. The Bald One White cat 14:57, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
A "Notable picture of a horse" is not the same as a "Picture of a notable horse". --Damiens.rf 15:10, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And you think this image is not a "notable picture" of the horse? What is then? One standing up on his hind legs and flashing a large wide grin at the photpgrapher? The Bald One White cat 15:15, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, as far as I can tell, this picture is not notable. A notable picture would have be commented about by reliable sources. Winning awards also helps the case. --Damiens.rf 15:35, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - no critical commentary about the photograph or any historical significance in the article. Unlikely that a simple photo of someone receiving the award is significantly different than text describing the event. Shell babelfish 10:46, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy keep Uploader is making a WP:POINT nomination, as s/he is acknowledging with the "important notice" that this passes the fair use criteria, which it unabashedly does. WP:IFD isn't a place to challenge the rightness of our fair use policy. Is there any way to replace a picture of this specific airplane at that specific time? Nyttend (talk) 01:26, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Meets WP:NFCC. A picture of the actual event is very helpful for a reader to enter imaginatively into the reality described by words, which a picture is worth a thousand of. See also WT:NFC#Press agency photos. Ty 01:59, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, image is of low resolution and small in size, there is no free alternative that can be used and it would be impossible to recreate the exact image even if the mill were to collapse again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mjroots (talkcontribs)

I believe I have adequately covered why it is OK to use the image in the fair use rationale given when I originally uploaded the image. Mjroots (talk) 11:07, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This is a highly unusual picture because there is no opposing team. See the article for a fuller explanation of why that situation happened. The image cannot be replaced by a free alternative because the "game" (such as it was) will never happen again. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 17:27, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The event was surely unusual, but this picture doesn't really helps one to understand the situation. I'm not arguing for it to be replaced by another picture. I'm arguing for no no-picture to be used at all, since we can fully understand the text without them. --Damiens.rf 17:46, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The picture in itself is unique, and illustrates clearly how daft the situation was. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 19:40, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Then find us sources that discuss the image itself, not the event depicted in the image. howcheng {chat} 02:28, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Image:Jack and Rose of 1997 film Titanic.jpg (delete | talk | history | logs) - uploaded by Flyer22 (notify | contribs).
All images of films are copyrighted; that is why we have the fair-use policy. There is nothing objectionable to using this image in the Supercouple article. How does it not help us understand the article? That section is discussing film supercouples. It mentions supercouple Jack and Rose, who happen to be a part of the highest-grossing film ever. The image displays these characters, who are being discussed/addressed within the article, which is no different than the many other copyrighted images of fictional characters accompanying content being discussed in regular, good or featured articles on Wikipedia. If this image were just for show, I would see your point. But it is not just for show, and thus I do not see your point. Furthermore, it is the only image within that section, and is the only image in that section for a reason, given this fictional couple's impact. Flyer22 (talk) 16:44, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This image of fictional characters is no different the showing the happy image of Bianca and Maggie in the Gay and lesbian section of the Supercouple article, who are also being addressed/discussed. The use of these images are in complete correspondence with Wikipedia's image policy. Flyer22 (talk) 18:26, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I also added more to this image's caption, which further relates directly to the text. And must state that this couple is not exactly "happy" at this moment in the film (they were happy right before that moment, sure). Flyer22 (talk) 21:43, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Image:Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie with first born, Shiloh.jpg (delete | talk | history | logs) - uploaded by Flyer22 (notify | contribs).
All images of magazines are copyrighted; that is why we have the fair-use policy. There is nothing objectionable to using this image in the Supercouple article. How does it not help us understand the article? That section is discussing celebrity supercouples. It mentions the couple's child Shiloh, and how that child was featured on the cover of Hello! magazine. The image displays the child and that fact, who is being discussed/addressed within the article along with her parents. Featuring an image in this way is no different than the many other copyrighted magazine images that accompany content being discussed in regular, good or featured articles on Wikipedia. If this image were just for show, I would see your point. But it is not just for show, and thus I do not see your point. Flyer22 (talk) 16:44, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. See More Demi Moore for a valid use of a magazine cover. howcheng {chat} 17:58, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I do not see how the use of that image is any different than the use of a magazine cover in this case, and I can also point out a few examples of my own. Showing images where the content being discussed can be easily conveyed by just words is when fair-use policy is not applicable. In this case, there is no way that a reader can easily guess what the cover Shiloh appeared on looked/looks like. The image is therefore providing the reader with the knowledge of the content (notable content) that took place at that time that cannot be attained by simply using the imagination. Not to mention, that section mentions nothing of Jolie and Pitt appearing on the cover with the child, though that can be arranged. The use of this image is in complete correspondence with Wikipedia's image policy. Flyer22 (talk) 18:20, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Firstly, please don't preface each comment with "keep"; it creates the illusion that there is more support than actually exists. Secondly, More Demi Moore is an article about about the magazine cover itself: This Vanity Fair cover in and of itself became infamous and led to a number of parodies, including the film poster for Naked Gun 33⅓ which then led to a lawsuit Leibovitz v. Paramount Pictures Corp. Is this Hello cover anywhere near equivalent? If it is, then you are free to add more information to the Supercouple article but you have to talk about this specific magazine cover and that commentary must be cited to reliable sources. howcheng {chat} 18:27, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Firstly, I was not trying to give the allusion of anything. I did not feel that I had properly voted. Secondly, are you kidding me? People paid more than $4.1 million for the North American rights, while British magazine Hello! obtained the international rights for roughly $3.5 million; the total rights sale earned up to $10 million worldwide, and became the most expensive celebrity image of all time. That is in this article and is discussed in this article. This image is extremely notable. I would even say more notable than that Demi Moore image you cited, since it became the most expensive celebrity image of all time (though it is not anymore). Pitt and Jolie giving the money received for publicly publishing the image to charity is also mentioned in the article. It almost makes no sense not to have an image in that section about this super image that is discussed in that section. Sure, the Pitt and Jolie articles do not feature it, but that would be overkill, anyway, and it is completely justifiable that this image is included within this article. Flyer22 (talk) 18:38, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • Okay, I see the part about this in the Angelina Jolie article has been updated; now the most expensive celebrity image is something else (which is why I tweaked my above comment), but is still about Pitt and Jolie. I will now have to tweak that part of the Supercouple article. But all in all, this image is still notable and is still discussed in this article. Flyer22 (talk) 18:52, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • This copyrighted picture from a news agency, showing a musician performing, does not really help us in understanding the text about the important event it shows. Damiens.rf 18:25, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It's used on his article to illustrate an event that the BBC says was reported worldwide: I don't see how any image could illustrate this better. Nyttend (talk) 01:03, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I find it absolutely stupefying to read that a picture of an event does not help us to understand the text. Texts and images complement each other and are each able to communicate aspects that the other medium cannot. If that were not the case, there would be no need for pictures, anywhere, ever. We would just have texts. Meets WP:NFCC. See also WT:NFC#Press agency photos. Ty 02:23, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Image copied from a news source, not used for commentary about the image itself (because it's not notable by itself). Important Notice: Yes, the image is probably irreplaceable because it shows a deceased person. What's being called into discussion here is our right to freely duplicate a work by a news agency. Damiens.rf 18:32, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep He is dead, per NFCC 1"Can this non-free content be replaced by a free version that has the same effect?" it cannot be replaced since he is no longer alive to have a picture taken. To understand the life story (biography) of a user, a single image of the person is certainly permissible. The Bald One White cat 08:36, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
