*'''Delete'''. Multiple nonfree book covers in an article related to a book series, without any relevant image-related discussion, violate NFCC (and I argued against this, but the consensus was clear); this image is singularly badly chosen, since it's a recycled cover of a Burroughs novel, and therefore neither actually illustrates the novel it was stuck on nor usefully serves as an identifier [http://people.uncw.edu/smithms/Ace%20singles/s5N-series/64514-3.jpg].

:Multiple nonfree book covers per se is not necessarily against WP policy. Note that Template: Non-free book cover recognizes that in some cases articles may have multiple book covers. If an article, for example, discusses a foreign language edition of the work as a subtopic, it would be appropriate to illustrate that subtopic with a cover of that foreign edition. In discussing an artist's alternate depictions of the same book in multiple editions, it also would be relevant to use those illustrations together. Other arguments could be made in similar lines.

'''Keep''' The page is '''The Sacred Band of Stepsons''' about the series regarding the Sacred Band of Stepsons created by Janet Morris, consisting of several novels and short stories published in various places over the last 20 or so years. The image in question is a book cover of the German version of "Tempus," one of the books in the series. Since the image has the book title and publisher logo over the image by Frank Frazetta, it is obviously not a copyright violation of the illustration and does not violate the fair use rules.[[User:Hulcys930|Hulcys930]] ([[User talk:Hulcys930|talk]]) 18:38, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Please, also bear in mind that for this artist is seriously impossible to find uncopyrighted pictures on internet, that is why I chose the option of screenshot, which seems to be the only available possibility. She does not go public, does not communicate with press, it is a physically disabled singer who does not even leave her home for years. I'm not exaggerating now...

This file is a picture of a book cover, incorporating a copyrighted illustration by Frank Frazetta. It has repeatedly been added to an article which is NOT about the book, but rather about some of the characters in the book; a violation of the fair use rules. Orange Mike | Talk 16:43, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • The article is not about the characters in the book; it's about the series the book is a title in, as you can see from how the page is listed (Category: fantasy series.)
