- Now I noticed you're both the nominator and the uploader. You may want to know that you can bypass the bureaucracy with {{db-author}}. --Damiens.rf 15:46, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Thanks Damiens.rf. I'm new in this business. Don't plan to stay long either. Just liquidating some of my old files. BTW I got reverted by Abie a while back when I removed the pic from the article and he requested a discussion so I thought I'd give him a chance to discuss it. Isn't it so Abie? Dr.K. ^{λogosπraxis} 02:33, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - Yes, doubly so, in fact. I reverted you twice.--Abie the Fish Peddler (talk) 04:00, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      - My previous comment was in jest, of course. You are a very decent person Abie :) Dr.K. ^{λogosπraxis} 07:20, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - As no other fair use image exists on the page, and as a matter of fact, no other image exists on the page, I think this image would qualify under "fair use" policy.--Abie the Fish Peddler (talk) 07:40, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - It's not that hard to produce a free image of this actor. Trailers for movies released before 1964 are in the Public Domain because they were never separately copyrighted. Some research will reveal usable images of this actor. --Damiens.rf 15:45, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Sure, I agree, once a free image is found and agreed upon, then this image will no longer be necessary. But until then, it serves a valid purpose.--Abie the Fish Peddler (talk) 23:25, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - This is not how we work here. --Damiens.rf 03:37, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
ok people. Action! I went out and got a pre-1964 screen shot because of the discussion here. File:John Cassavetes Edge of the City trailer 1957.jpg Now this one can safely be removed with no grief. Cheers, Nesnad (talk) 11:12, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Good work, Nesnad! I'm lagging on learning how to upload photos, I know. Anyway. I'm fine with deleting this image now. Dr.K, what do you think?--Abie the Fish Peddler (talk) 12:15, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Dr. K. is the nominator! He's the one who asked for deletion to begin with. Nesnad, we need more people like you here. --Damiens.rf 12:54, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This non-free comic strip panel is not discussed in the article where it's displayed. And even if a discussion were to be added, the image would most likely still be unnecessary, since the "joke" on the strip relies more on it's text than on the drawing itself. We could thus just quote the non-free text (minimal usage). Damiens.rf 15:27, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The image of this magazine cover is not relevant for the two articles where it's displayed. One of the article not even mentions the magazine. The other, just discuss the cover story, what can be done in this case without the visual aid of the cover image. Damiens.rf 15:39, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A non-free movie screenshot that is actually used to illustrate the information that the couple depicted had an affair on real life. This information can be passed without the aid of visual media. Damiens.rf 16:05, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I do not agree with your reason. The purpose of the inclusion of the picture in the article was to depict a now deceased person at a particular stage in his life and career. This particular picture not only shows him with and actress whom he had a long standing domestic relationship which included a child, but also in one of his earliest and most enduring roles. I also believe that this and the other images that you have tagged for deletion in that article are important to the understanding of the subject. Without the pictures that I have included, one gets an image of a man who was perpetually aged. There were other stages of his life that should be illustrated within an article on his life. Are there free images that would do the same?-I have not found them and I have researched the subject very thoroughly. If you and I cannot solve this I do plan to contest it further.--DorothyBrousseau (talk) 23:52, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary non-free picture of an actor in Cannes, used just to make the point he was went to Cannes. Damiens.rf 16:06, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I do not agree with your reason. The purpose of the inclusion of the picture in the article was to depict a now deceased person at a particular stage in his life and career. This particular picture not only shows him at Cannes, but at a point in his life when it appeared that he would gain some measure of success as a director and a producer. He won an award at that event making it historical. I also believe that this and the other images that you have tagged for deletion in that article are important to the understanding of the subject. Without the pictures that I have included, one gets an image of a man who was perpetually aged. There were other stages of his life that should be illustrated within an article on his life.

Completely decorative image of actors. Damiens.rf 16:07, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I do not agree with your reason. The purpose of the inclusion of the picture in the article was to depict a now deceased person at a particular stage in his life and career. This particular picture not only shows him with his latest wife, but at a point in his life when it appeared that he might gain some measure of success as an actor that he had not known in many years. I believe that is the context of this person's life, the event was historical. I also believe that this and the other images that you have tagged for deletion in that article are important to the understanding of the subject. Without the pictures that I have included, one gets an image of a man who was perpetually aged. There were other stages of his life that should be illustrated within an article on his life.

Decorative image of an actor holding some prize. No relevant visual information. Damiens.rf 16:08, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I do not agree with your reason. The purpose of the inclusion of the picture in the article was to depict a now deceased person at a particular stage in his life and career. This particular photo shows him accepting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which is a milestone in an actors career, thus an historical event. The fact that it is a public appearance boosts its status as a "fair use" candidate. I also believe that this and the other images that you have tagged for deletion in that article are important to the understanding of the subject. Without the pictures that I have included, one gets an image of a man who was perpetually aged. There were other stages of his life that should be illustrated within an article on his life.

Unnecessary non-free decorative image copyed from Associated Press. Damiens.rf 16:09, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I do not agree with your reason. The purpose of the inclusion of the picture in the article was to depict two now deceased people at a particular stage in their lives and careers colaborating with each other, Because both of the people depicted are deceased and famous the event is historical. I also believe that this and the other images that you have tagged for deletion in that article are important to the understanding of the subject.

Image copied from image agency Corbis. Damiens.rf 16:15, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I really, really do not agree with your reason. The purpose of the inclusion of the picture in the article was to depict the actual subject(s) of this article. The article is about the Carradine family. Certainly the photo is owned and copy-written, I doubt the Carradine family owns a photo of this particular grouping of their members at this particular stage of there lives! It includes two now deceased famous people at a particular stage in their lives and careers. This is the elder Carradine's 68th birthday making this photo historical! I also believe that this and the other images that you have tagged for deletion in that article are important to the understanding of the subject.

- Is is pretty much the only image of Oliver and text can't explain his face's resemblance to a human's. Isn't this acceptable under the fair use doctrine? --Beao 18:06, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - No. Even when the image is highly useful for us, we must respect copyrights. --Damiens.rf 19:52, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing is known about the copyright status of this picture. The image is no longer found on source and the copyright holder was not documented on the file description page. Fortunately, a harbor seal headshot is not necessary for the understanding of the article where its being used. Damiens.rf 17:28, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep What do you mean nothing is known about the copyright status of the picture? It's obviously a newspaper scan, and it has "The Boston Globe" right there in the file name.

As a low resolution version of a photograph of a now-dead animal, I'm not even sure which of the 10 points of fair use policy you're claiming this violates. Is it the tenth? Are you claiming that the source isn't identified properly? That's a pretty goofy claim with the source right there in the title. If it bothered you that much that it was in the title and not in a proper source tag, couldn't you have copy/pasted it with far less effort than it took you to list it for deletion?

As the original uploader, I agree. People are more than capable of understanding what windowboxing means, given the information on the article.
