Replaceable fair use File:Nancy Adler at Art Galelry.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Nancy Adler at Art Galelry.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 17:52, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate you letting me know about this. The copyright rules seem complicated and I'm not too sure what to do at this point. BuckOseRose (talk) 14:58, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, they are somewhat complicated. Mon-free images must meet all of the non-free content criteria. In this particular case, WP:NFCC#1 which covers replaceability is an issue. Even if no free image of Adler is currently available, as a living person, a free image could be made. For living people, non-free images for the infobox in a biographical article is almost never acceptable.

You could try asking for a free image. See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. One big caveat is that normally, the copyright holder of a photo is the photographer and not the subject of the photo.

If you have any other image copyright questions. Media Copyright Questions is a good place to ask for help. -- Whpq (talk) 15:54, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
