Image can't have been published before 1923 since subject wasn't born until 1926. Source site is a wiki (findagrave), so the copyright holder is unknown. Damiens.rf 04:18, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have a number of problems with this photo. Firstly I don't believe it to be a "simple, documentary photo", but even if I'm wrong about that, this should still be deleted. This image is used in Italian architect Aldo Rossi's article, and is this clearly a building/sculpture. Italy does not have freedom of panorama, so this image has a copyright and is not public domain. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 09:48, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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: Erroneous Nomination. When following the listing instructions (step 2), you need to replace "File_name.ext" with the actual name of the file. You'll also want to put the name of the uploader just after "Uploader=", and your reason for deletion just after "Reason=". Feel free to just replace this entire section with the corrected template. If you are still having trouble, ask for help at WT:FFD or at my talk page. AnomieBOT ⚡ 11:04, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File:Jodi Rell.jpg (delete | talk | history | logs) - uploaded by Wesley M. Curtus (notify | contribs).

According to the Hartford Courant the image is from Rell's office and not from the federal government, making it non-free. Hekerui (talk) 12:07, 14 July 2009 (UTC)][reply]

Annnd I'm sure Rell's office is going to be suing wikipedia because we're using her official portrait. However, I've written to her office to ask for permission.Wm.C (talk) 23:09, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File:Prabhakaran family.jpg

File:Prabhakaran family.jpg (delete | talk | history | logs) - uploaded by Snowolfd4 (notify | contribs).

This non-free picture is not useful or necessary to show the reader "what a luxurious life (Velupillai Prabhakaran) spent". It's not a historic image by any account, and provides no information that can't be made accesible to the reader using text alone. Damiens.rf 14:58, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep How can you describe how a person looks using "using text alone"? All the people shown in the picture are dead, and no free pictures are available of them. The image is used to help readers identify Prabhakan and his family, and significantly contributes to their knowledge of the subject. Also, the copyright holder of the image, Prabhakan himself, is dead, and its use here will in no way be detrimental to his future commercial use of the image. As he is dead, he is also unlikely to apply any copyright he holds of the image. --snowolfD4 ^{( talk / @ )} 23:40, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- J. R. R. Tolkien is dead. He is also unlikely to apply any copyright he holds of his books. --Damiens.rf 14:34, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this discussion is about an image of Velupillai Prabhakaran, about which, by the way, you have failed to address any of my points. --snowolfD4 ^{( talk / @ )} 15:18, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete I see no explanation for how this is in any way a suggestion of a "luxurious life", also, I agree that its relatively useless as well. --Icemansatriani (talk) 05:58, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The luxurious life comment was added by an anonymous IP, and has now been removed. The purpose of the picture is to enable the readers of the article to identify Prabhakran and his family, which can't be done using text or free images. --snowolfD4 ^{( talk / @ )} 15:18, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article is not about Prabhakaran's family members, and there's actually some BLP concerns when we consider if we really want to show the familuy members of someone hunt down and killed by the army of his country. --Damiens.rf 21:19, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The image fails the minimal use criteria WP:NFCC#3a because there is already one non-free image showing the subject of the article and there is also no critical commentary about this picture that might attempt to justify its inclusion. ww2censor (talk) 20:30, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This is a family portrait of the once horrifying terror leader. pictures of his family were regarded as a closely guarded secret and now these albums are in the hand of Sri Lankan military so there is no means to replace these by the free content. People in the portrait are dead and it is unlikely to find any other copies of these. --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ ^{walkie-talkie | tool box} 14:06, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File:Gotabhaya handout.jpg

File:Gotabhaya handout.jpg (delete | talk | history | logs) - uploaded by Snowolfd4 (notify | contribs).

Non-free image used to show what Gotabhaya Rajapaksa (a living, public man) looks like. Damiens.rf 14:59, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, If the nominator read the fair use rational, he would have understood that even though Defence Secretary Rajapakse is alive, given the high security and death threats surrounding him, it is impossible to take a free image of him. This image is used in the article to identify Rajapakse, who is a public figure, and the subject of the article. Its use is therefore acceptable on Wikipedia as it significantly contributes to the readers understanding of the subject of the article. Also, this image is from a handout released by the Sri Lankan Ministry of Defence for the free use of the press, and its reproduction of Wikipedia does not undermine the potential for marketing benefits for the copyright holder. --snowolfD4 ^{( talk / @ )} 23:33, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File:Pillayan swearing in.jpg (delete | talk | history | logs) - uploaded by Snowolfd4 (notify | contribs).

Image is not free. Source cite states "Reproduction of news items are permitted when used without any alterations to contents". Unlikely candidate for a valid fair use rationale. Damiens.rf 15:00, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File:Velupillai Prabhakaran.jpg (delete | talk | history | logs) - uploaded by Sandstein (notify | contribs).

Unauthorized use of a unique, hard-to-take, valuable picture owned by photo agency Getty Images. Damiens.rf 15:36, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as uploader. Velupillai Prabhakaran is dead, so I believe our use of this image to illustrate the article about him is proper fair use pursuant to WP:NFCC. Also, according to the source page, the photo was made not by the photo agency, but handed out to the press by the Tamil Tigers as a propaganda photograph. Given that the Tigers are outlawed as a terrorist group practically everywhere, they are unlikely to attempt to enforce any copyright regarding this image. Sandstein 15:45, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Although the nominator may find this hard to believe, in the absence of free images it is not practical to try and describe what people look like using "free text", hence the reason to have WP:NFCC, which this image. --snowolfD4 ^{( talk / @ )} 23:37, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I never suggested that. I just don't think Getty will be any more permissive with the use of their images if we give them the argument "we have no free alternative". --Damiens.rf 14:37, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you'd taken the time to look at the actual image, or read Sandstein's comment above, you'll have understood that Getty doesn't hold the copyright of this image. --snowolfD4 ^{( talk / @ )} 15:20, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Getty Images isn't the rightful owner of this image. It's the LTTE and there is no living leader for them at this moment. All of them are either dead or captured by the military. Hence not violating the copyrights and irreplaceable. --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ ^{walkie-talkie | tool box} 14:14, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Image not found on source, no fair use rationale, not clearly necessary for the two article it's currently being used in. Damiens.rf 15:39, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have fixed the source details, but delete if no suitable rationale is added. ww2censor (talk) 15:45, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
