Restoring image

There seems to be some sort of issue regarding the "legitimacy", or whatever, of an image. The image in question is from a well-known history book written by a well-known author. One of the arguments against its use is that it is "fanciful". The fact that there is [possibly] no other known likeness of Adelaide except this one seems to me to be irrelevant and just about any other image of hundreds, and even thousands, of kings and queens that are included here at Wikipedia would be equally unacceptable under the argument that they are fanciful. Not to mention much of what we accept as chronicled history, etc. For all of the above, am restoring said image (with a caption clarifying the source so that readers can draw their own conclusions as to whether it is "fanciful" to an unacceptable degree).

Thank you for your explanation, Technopat. I should like to start by pointing out that this image is not a likeness; that is one of the reasons why it is inappropriate as the lead image. The more important reason is that it is not "the type of image used for similar purposes in high-quality reference works" as required by WP:LEADIMAGE. You will never find this doodle in a modern scholarly work about the Capetians. We had a similar discussion about images of popes and decided, with a strong consensus, not to have "completely interchangeable, forgettable, and ahistorical" images in the infoboxes.

Hi Surtsicna. Thanks for your explanation/rationale abt the WP:LEADIMAGE and "strong consensus". Will remove image and leave edit summary linking to this talk page to prevent future "incidents". Cheers! --Technopat (talk) 09:54, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
