Image:Cowbell2.gif (talk | delete)

Uploaded by El C (notify | contribs). Animated gif unencyclopedic and visually obnoxious. A non-animated version (Image:Cowbell2.jpg) has been uploaded and substituted in the articles where this image was used. Peter G Werner 03:01, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Great image; much vilified by unsigned editor. Image substituted without consensus. If it's deleted I will be quitting the project forever! El_C 01:12, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please tell me you're kidding. At any rate, I have put it back in the More Cowbell article where it more or less makes sense to have it ... if it ever makes sense to have an animated image. I think, though, that in the SNL article itself, where no context for the cowbell skit is given, the animated image is overkill. Whether it belongs in More Cowbell or not is questionable, but considering that User:Peter G Werner's removal was initially reverted and you've expressed a concern here, I think the issue needs to be decided on Talk:More Cowbell, not on IFD.

Keep in More Cowbell. That animation really explores the space. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 02:27, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, Cowbell2.jpg is infinitely easier to look at. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anthony5429 (talk • contribs) 20:41, August 31, 2006

Keep, jpeg is eaisier to look at, but being 'obnoxious' is a poor reason to delete. HawkerTyphoon 21:20, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I guess I haven't formally voted on this, even though I nominated it. The image is not just "obnoxious", but fundamentally unencyclopedic. Its really more suited to a joke project like Encyclopedia Dramatica than Wikipedia. However, if consensus is to keep it in the "More Cowbell" article, I'll respect that.

Keep. User:Soccer-europe.com edited the image himself [1], which implies that he's OK with it being on Wikipedia. howch e ng {chat} 05:58, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Never mind. Based on discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football#soccer-europe.com_images it's a likely copyvio anyway. howch e ng {chat} 06:06, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I've looked at the user's talk page ... demanding that your website be cited in every article smells like astroturfing. Wikipedia is not the place to advertise. I really believe that no photo is better than photos that come at the price of advertising. BigDT 14:24, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It's a good photo and crediting the source is only courtesy.--Runcorn 19:22, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's dicussed in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football#soccer-europe.com_images, but the consensus is that the pictures are most likely screen grabs of televised matches, not photographs donated by anonymous professional photographers as the user claims. I think the lines and the color bleeding are tell tale signs. Ytny 20:12, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. 1) it is probably a copyright violation 2) the claimant copyright holder did not provide any explanation of why he is the copyright holder 3) crediting is not a courtesy if it is mandatory, and if it is requested to be placed on every article it is invasive.--Panarjedde 11:29, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Strong keep. Don't blame the image for some idiot misusing it. I just put it back in the article it was uploaded to illustrate, Willys, which it had been illustrating until you removed it. Note that this image is PD-US, while the "replacement" is an unfree "promotional image". -- Infrogmation 14:37, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Chubbuck funeral.jpg (talk | delete)

Uploaded by Sherurcij (notify | contribs). AP press photo, not allowed under fair use, not an iconic image. Hbdragon88 23:32, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, it is credited as an AP photograph, but that doesn't mean it is automatically discluded from Fair Use - it is an image of a non-reproduceable historical event, it is displayed here in very low resolution and quality which in no way negates the ability of AP to begin re-selling the photograph, and it lends greatly to an article where the subject's main notability arises from her death. Sherurcij ^{(Speaker for the Dead)} 23:43, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - it is used for decoration purposes only. See WP:FAIR#Policy #8. It does not contribute significantly or illustrate relevant points. BigDT 00:07, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Decorative purposes are images that add no new perspective to the article, meaning I can't just have "Here's a random other picture of Chubbuck", however a sole image of her funeral, especially when mentioned she is much better known exclusively for her death, than say Kennedy who garners funeral fairuse images such as Image:JFKCasketLeavesCapitolHill.JPG and Image:JFKFuneralSt.Matthew'sCathedral.jpg - when somebody is notable for their death, then the sole resulting photograph of that death is historically significant and adds greatly to the article Sherurcij ^{(Speaker for the Dead)} 01:03, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I personally wouldn't be opposed to deleting both of those, either. The Capitol Hill one looks incredibly fuzzy - is that a real photo or what? The cathedral is at an odd angle and doesn't have the same impact as the two PD photographs - those are nice and good, zoomed in, clearly depicting the coffin. The Chubbuck one is also kind of grainy and not all that of a great shot. Also, Chubbuck is more specifically known for her on-airsuicide, not her death and funeral. The fair use there is kind of weak as well, but they're more justified as JFK's funeral was a huge deal - many mourners and nonstop coverage. Hbdragon88 08:05, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
