The result of the discussion was: close. The non-standard formatting seems to have confused AnomieBOT, and this weird nomination is not worth breaking the bot over. Thus I'm "closing" this bit not tied to a specific file, and the rest are converted to regular nominations so as to get the bot back on track. SchuminWeb (Talk) 04:11, 23 April 2011 (UTC) CV. As per Wikipedia:Non-free content#Policy#2: "Respect for commercial opportunities".

Which part of "replace the original market role" did you no understand?

This rationale is broken. We can use images from any copyright holder when we have a fair use claim. Some photos from AP has achieve an iconic status so that the photo itself is the subject of books, news-stories, and, of course, encyclopedic articles. Such use is not replacing the original market role of the image, as explained in the policy you cite. --Damiens.rf 16:47, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - image from a news source that is actually being used to illustrate the event depicted. Although one of the articles using this image describes it as an famous AP photo, the article (not even the section) is about the image itself. That the publication of a newsworthy image caused some reaction is not news. In itself, it does not make the photo notable. What we need is a good deal of third part sources discussing the photo itself to establish its notability. But eve then we would have to use the image on an article (or section) about the photo itself, and not about the event it shows. --Damiens.rf 16:56, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File:Iman al-Obeidi as a child.JPG (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by SlimVirgin ( | contribs | uploads | upload log).

Random family photo of a person as a baby held by her smiling father. Not the object of sourced commentary or analysis in the article. We don't include non-free baby photos just like that. FUR claims that it is somehow important because "her relationship with her family is an object of discussion [...] regarding the cultural and political context" – but what concrete, factual, sourced information about her relation with her family does it convey? That she was a pretty child? That her father loved her? (Does it really show that?) That her family is liberal? (Does it really show that? How do we know? ) Nothing of what this photograph may serve to show – or better: to insinuate – is more than baseless speculation, nothing relating to it is sourced, beyond the mere information that the photo exists.

  • I asked a very concrete question: what visual information about her childhood does it convey? Name it. Describe it. Then, when you have done so, tell me whether that information is sourced rather than OR, whether it is of crucial significance to the article, and whether the verbal description of it could not be understood alone without the visual support of the image. Fut.Perf. ☼ 12:01, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just about everything could be described using text rather than images, so that's not a reasonable criterion. As I've said before, we have to use common sense when looking at how much text, or what kinds of images, it's reasonable to claim fair use for. Where we're dealing with an image the family wants to see published; where they're the copyright holders; where there are no monetary issues; but where we don't know how to contact them to ask for a formal release, then it simply makes no sense to cause a problem. It's ideology and wikilawyering over common sense, and—even worse—ideology that serves no purpose.

File:Svyatoslav face reconstructed.jpg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by George Serdechny ( | contribs | uploads | upload log).

Disputed {di-replaceable}, taking it here for greater clarity of argument. This is not a "scientific reconstruction" (like some of those that are made on a basis of a skull), but simply a fictional portrait, i.e. an artist's impression on the basis of a description in an historical source. The artist's reconstruction effort as such is not the object of sourced discussion in the article and probably not a potentially notable subject; indeed, no information about its creation and its creator are offered. As long as it's used merely to illustrate the section in the way it does now, it could be replaced with any drawing of a heavily-built, fierce-looking random guy with a sidelock and moustache that you or I could draw.

• Delete. The image is fatally inaccurate.

Any other uses of this image... may be copyright infringement". There was a previous deletion discussion a year ago, here; the decision was Keep.

AP photo used to show what a man looked like. Damiens.rf 19:03, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

1. He is dead (died in a 2000 plane crash)

2. His wife and daughter, people who could have had free photos of him, are also dead (they died in the same plane crash).

3. There is no known information on any surviving kin, so there are no relatives to contact regarding photos of him

4. If someone can find a free photo of him, that would be helpful. But he was well known in several stages of life. A USGov free photo would probably show him in the middle ages, while he was well known with what he did as an old man, right before his death

5. I will search for other photos, but I doubt I will find a free photo of Morris Thompson as an older man. This photo was the only one I saw in articles about the plane crash

Damiens, the main website says "Copyright © Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitors Center." - So the owners will have to change the copyright first. If they agree to do so, then this case defaults to deleting the AP image. Until that happens, both the AP image and the Doyon image are copyrighted.

Assuming that the Doyon image stays copyrighted, are there additional restrictions to using the AP image that the Doyon image doesn't have?

The statement "That we need the image doesn't follow we can take it from AP." - It can follow if Doyon does not relicense that picture and there are no additional restrictions to using the AP picture compared to the Doyon picture.

No, it can not. That we desperately need the image gives us no more stand to ignore AP rights. --Damiens.rf 02:05, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My statement above says "and there are no additional restrictions to using the AP picture compared to the Doyon picture" - If there are "AP rights" then that would be "additional restrictions," yes? But it may be helpful explaining what these "AP rights" are. If one says "That we desperately need the image gives us no more stand to ignore AP rights. " then he/she needs to explain what they are and link to a page describing them. If there were "special AP rights" then my statement above would be conditionally voided as the condition "there are no additional restrictions to using the AP picture compared to the Doyon picture" would not be met.

After doing some reading, I found that AP's main profit generator is licensing images for a fee, so it has a commercial purpose that, in the case of an image that is not famous for being a photograph itself, could be unfairly duplicated by Wikipedia usage. That means that AP would be more motivated to contest fair use images than, say, another non-fair use holder.

In this particular case, even if the Thompson Foundation doesn't give free rights to the Thompson image, we could use that image instead of the AP image, but on a fair use basis.

• Comment - there is presently a discussion regarding a similar image proposed for deleted here: Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2011 April 12#File:Tianasquare.jpg. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 21:32, 19 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: The mention of the photo is perfectly clear without actually seeing the photo. Possibly Speedy Delete under F7 as the mention of the commercial photo hardly qualifies as “commentary.” —teb728 t c 02:51, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Copy of a newsletter, published in Finland. I would suspect that copyright on a 1983 Finnish magazine is still intact.  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 19:46, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Way too high res, adds nothing to article. Also clearly not public domain, as it's a screenshot from a copyrighted music video. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 22:52, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Speedy delete F7, criteria 2: Non-free images or media from a commercial source (e.g., Associated Press, Getty), where the file itself is not the subject of sourced commentary. While the test may be the subject of commentary, this image is not. VernoWhitney (talk) 17:20, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File:CU Samurai tipover test.jpg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Tillman ( | contribs | uploads | upload log).

Orphaned earlier and challenged. As a non-free photo, it is not necessary to see the car tipping over to understand that the car tipped during testing. Thus it fails WP:NFCC#1 because it is replaceable by text or by a free illustration. It is not necessary to show the actual event using non-free media. As an Associated Press photo, it fails WP:NFCC#2 because it is a photo from a press agency and the photo itself is not the subject of sourced commentary. And it also fails WP:NFCC#8 because the photo itself is not the subject of sourced commentary. SchuminWeb (Talk) 23:04, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• KEEP: The photo of the CU driving test is the subject of the article and lawsuit, and is discussed at length in the article Suzuki v. Consumers Union. This photo significantly increases readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding. (NFCC#8)

This photo was widely circulated at the time of the lawsuit, and arguably has attained iconic status. It seems odd to argue that a photo of this car parked on a street would have the same encyclopedic value as a photo of the actual test. (NFCC#1).

NFCC #2 calls for respect for commercial opportunities. Fair Use of this low-resolution copy would in no way replace the original market role of the AP photo.

That Associated Press doesn't like having their photos used under Fair Use (see this letter) really shouldn't affect WP policy. This is a clearcut case of acceptable Fair Use, and deletion of the photo would damage the encyclopedic value of the article. --Pete Tillman (talk) 06:15, 19 April 2011 (UTC), original uploader[reply]
