The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the media below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the media's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was: Delete - there is no free image on Ginger Baker. However, if a reader wants to see what the band looked like, they can look at the album covers on the album pages. We don't need to use a photograph that is actively being sold by a photo agency. Just because we are not aware of any available free photographs does not mean that they don't exist or cannot be acquired. ~ BigrTex 00:55, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• The fair use rational is not applicable anymore, as the band was active and this proves that there may be free images from this period (concerts) available as well as that they may become active again. Poeloq (talk) 12:43, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Cream was active in 1966 - 1968. They performed at their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993, and played about half a dozen "reunion" concerts in May and October of 1995. They are not currently active and there are no plans for them to play together. The creation of a new public domain image of the band would therefore seem to be impractical. For this reason I believe the use of the publicity photo is appropriate for the article. — Mudwater ^(Talk) 11:09, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• There is already a free image in Ginger Baker's article of all three members during their Rock n Roll Hall of Fame induction that could replace this image. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.36.234.233 (talk) 09:28, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
