- Associated Press image. Cannot be fair use. ViperSnake151 Talk 00:36, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Why can't it be fair use? The group it depicts is no longer active, so a free replacement is highly unlikely to be created or discovered. Seems perfectly fine to me. --fuzzy510 (talk) 02:19, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per WP:NFCC#2. Competes with the market role of the original image. This is particularly relevant as the WMF has received a message that the AP specifically does not wish us to use its images. Stifle (talk) 13:28, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Should this not kept as a reference of the updated work as license is given here? Agathoclea (talk) 12:13, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep to maintain the license of the svg version. — BQZip01 — talk 22:25, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't understand. Why is this image needed to maintain the license? Can the svg version on the Commons simply say it was created from the official logo? – Quadell (talk) 23:20, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- No, because the source is this image that the uploader created, not the official logo, per se (I've seen enough people who created a logos/image for their organizations in their own free time...including myself). Furthermore, it was released under a GFDL license. This is the official logo made by its creator. The other one is derived from that original creation. If the original creation ceases to exist, the status upon which the image is GFDL is removed and the license no longer applies. — BQZip01 — talk 01:39, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- It was discussed at de:Wikipedia:Löschkandidaten/Bilder/22._Mai_2006#Bild:Coburg-1915.jpg. In Germany it would only be PD if the photographer died in 1939 or earlier (70 years after death), but in the U.S. it would be PD if it was first published before 1923. Its name suggests it was first published in 1915, in which case we can keep it here... but can anyone confirm that this is actually from 1915? Since it was deleted on de.wiki, I can't see the original image description there... Is anyone here an administrator on de.wiki? Can you see if it had more info before it was deleted? – Quadell (talk) 19:27, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep...but... It seems to be an old image and, if the uploader says he copied it from a publication in 1915, I'm inclined to believe him based upon WP:AGF, unless we have good reason to not believe him/her...

- This is a still of an actor as he appeared in a role which doesn't seem to meet WP:NFC. It isn't necessary to see the actor (who is a living person) to understand the subject of the article, and there is nothing striking about the actor's appearance or presentation that merits discussion in the text. I believe it fails point 8, "significance," as "Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding." Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:44, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep It's a screeshot of a fictional character in a article about the fictional character. Going by Moonriddengirl's argument, no image of any TV or film character, or indeed anything containing a human being who does not have a "striking" appearance, would ever be necessary. Better go and tag Superman's image for deletion. How about Han Solo? Harrison Ford is still alive, after all. It satisfies 8, an entirely subjective rule anyway. This user says it wouldnt increase readers' understanding of the topic, I say it does. This is ridiculous.GunGagdinMoan 22:06, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Our NFC policy was created to ensure that we "support Wikipedia's mission to produce perpetually free content for unlimited distribution, modification and application by all users in all media" in part by limiting unencyclopedic uses of non-free images.

- It was a biased post to a partisan audience, though limited in scale. It may not have been your intent to invite a participant to this debate who had already been swayed to your point of view, but the problem with making such posts before the person has a chance to come of their own accord is that it contaminates the debate and brings their neutral reception of arguments into question. I felt it was necessary to point out that concern to be sure the matter gets a fair hearing. At issue here, obviously, is whether this use is within WP:NFC. The best way to get a fair evaluation is to allow participation from neutral contributors, who may or may not agree that having the picture for the purpose of showing what the actor portraying the character looked like in the role meets point 8. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:18, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Indeed, a picture of the actor (a human being) is not a replacement for a picture of the character as played by an actor. I know, they look a lot alike, but you get into trouble trying to discern when they're equivalent and when they're not: artistic distinctions about when an actor is in character and whatnot. I prefer to concede that a fictional character is always representable by an image of that character, and not replaceable by a photo of any particular portrayer when out of character. – Quadell (talk) 13:13, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Indeed. Interesting that you have shown up. Your accusations of canvassing are just a political game in this case, used to win your argument. I discussed a topic with AnemoneProjectors; search his talk archives, I have spoken with him regularly over the years. I think it's unsavoury the way an innocent conversation between two editors about my frustration with yet another set of users - twisting the meaning of policy to satisfy their own views - has been turned into a political game. I have not asked anyone to vote. If I wanted to campaign, dont you think I could notify every member of all the soap wiki-projects about this FFD? I havent even listed the FFD in categories for deletion in the wikiprojects! All I did was discuss my feelings about the way the project was going with one user whom I have edited with since I joined.GunGagdinMoan 14:24, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment The actor/character is styled for the role. I might be able to take a random picture of the actor driving around in his Porsche with his hair slicked back, in ray bans, or wearing a tuxedo at a film premiere, but that's not exactly a factual representation of the working-class character he's meant to portray. Not to mention the actor ages. Would it be appropriate to use an image of the actor when he no longer looks like the character he played? Maybe his hair has altered since he left. He could have a nose ring. It would be ridiculous to suggest that you could use an image of Harrison Ford in his late 60s to portray Han solo from 32 years ago. Going by arguments here, that's what should be done.GunGagdinMoan 14:40, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
