- If that's the meaning, then what are these "rare cases" of which you speak? The fact that there are exceptions to the rule clearly means that a picture's replaceability is not dictated solely by the subject being alive. 68.32.94.161 (talk) 22:00, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free dvd cover used as a substitute for a picture of the bio's subject. Damiens.rf 13:50, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - I moved the file out of the infobox, so now it's no longer claiming to be a substitute for a picture of the bio's subject.

- ....what ? We have a 1944 image of the man but, for some reason, must have a non-free image from the previous year. I've read the section you refer to and can see no reference to his appearance at that time that requires such an image. The image is nice and looks ok in position...neither of which in any way help it to pass WP:NFCC#8 or WP:NFCC#1 - Delete - Peripitus (Talk) 05:27, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep After looking on Commmons [1], it is the only portrait of him I can find. All other images are snapshots of him in action, at staff meetings, etc. As a Feldmarschall, and furthermore one considered one of Germany's best during WWII, he is a very highly important historic person. This should be used as the primary identification picture in the infobox. Furthermore, the copyright holder is the former Third Reich, and the most likely copyright holder is the Bundesarchiv, which releases WWII material under a CC-license. walk victor falk talk 09:12, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete unless it can be clearly demonstrated that the image is in fact part of the freely-licensed Bundesarchiv collection. Without that, we must treat it as non-free, and as non-free it fails WP:NFCC#8 and therefore must go. SchuminWeb (Talk) 23:12, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary non-free image showing soldiers meeting used just to make the point that they once met. Damiens.rf 13:58, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - this is an unique historical image that illustrates section Walter Model#Strengths. Do you have a free image that can do that? — Jeff G. ツ 18:18, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, as above. Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:13, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep As a colour pictures, it show details rarely seen in black and white WWII images, and makes it certain that the copyright holder is the former Third Reich, as colour photograhy was an advanced technology. The modern copyright holder is the Bundesarchiv, which releases WWII material under a CC-license.
- If you can source this image to the free Bundesarchiv material, that would of course change everything, but as long as we haven't got that reference, we have to treat it as non-free. And the colour is of course irrelevant for passing NFCC#8, it may increase its attractivity, but it certainly doesn't increase its factual information value. The colours of those men's uniforms are not what the article is about. Fut.Perf. ☼ 09:55, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- As I said, the fact that is a colour picture makes it virtually certain that it was a Third Reich government picture. walk victor falk talk 10:20, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Repeating that doesn't make it more relevant. Somebody needs to do the legwork and find a source, either to the Bundesarchiv or to the US government agency that seized the material as enemy property and decided to place it into the public domain. Without that, it's moot speculation. Fut.Perf. ☼ 10:25, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- It is not speculation. They're simply were no private persons with colour photography equipment on the fronts of the Second World War, it was too advanced and expensive. See [2] [3] [4] [5]. walk victor falk talk 17:05, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Question: were all such pictures automatically considered seized enemy property, or only those that were actually physically seized by allied personnel at some point? Fut.Perf. ☼ 18:04, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- All that were property of the Third Reich. For instance, many patents in armaments, chemical industry, rocketry, etc were confiscated by the Allies. See Operation Paperclip. Besides things like propaganda photography discussed here, all political records of the Third Reich, police records, National-Socialist party documents, all diplomatic communications, all documents and communications between ministries and government agencies, and more, were released in the public domain. walk victor falk talk 19:47, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Not quite convinced. I really don't see what Operation Paperclip has to do with anything. About the confiscation of intellectual property, the only relevant thing I'm aware of is Price v. United States, but that doesn't seem to be talking of a wholesale appropriation of all intellectual state property, but only about specific items that had been physically seized and taken away. Any further pointers? Fut.Perf. ☼ 20:19, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free historic photograph of a meeting between two men. The meeting is historically important, but the photograph isn't needed to understand the event, hence fails NFCC#8. Just shows two men talking. Fut.Perf. ☼ 13:59, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Why, why not delete the pics of Chang meeting his buddies Winston and Franklin [6] [7] [8] ? Just shows three men talking. The picture is a much better reference of the event than any textual source, which shows that Nehru not only granted exile to the Dalai Lama but also met personnally. Keep walk victor falk talk 09:42, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- The three images you refer to are public domain, hence the comparison is invalid. And any rationale based on the idea that image X "shows that" event Y happened is invalid in principle: we don't use images as references for factual claims, we use reliable sources for that purpose. The fact that Nehru met the Dalai Lama doesn't need to be shown, it just needs to be cited. Fut.Perf. ☼ 09:52, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. How often do you have to be told that "it's an important event, so we'd like to have an illustration of it" is not a sufficient argument for non-free images? The criterion is that the image must show us something about the event that is crucial for the article and couldn't otherwise be conveyed in words. This one doesn't.

- Keep - I fixed the source to 'http://www.ljplus.ru/img/a/n/anytka/02_Colin_Brinded.jpg as displayed by snooker_ru: Colin Brinded and captioned "1946 - November 26, 2005"'. — Jeff G. ツ 18:56, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Jeff that does not seem to address the issue. You've linked to a image that provides no information as to the copyrightholder. Is this a press image (in which case it may fail WP:NFCC#2) or what ? We need a better source than a link to a forum upload. - Peripitus (Talk) 08:26, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free magazine cover image being used just to stress the point that the guy was featured on the cover.

Delete: a non-free image without any commentary about the image fails WP:NFCC#8. The article already has one non-free image identifying the song the article is about so also fails WP:NFCC#3a. ww2censor (talk) 20:37, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary decorative picture of a dead man. We can report on his death without the aid of this specific imagery. Damiens.rf 20:43, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- A Lenin picture would be PD, so this parallel, again, is irrelevant.
