  • Non-free image of a living normal football player from a news story on nfl.com. Previously nominated as a replaceable image, but inexplicably kept. There is no fair use justification for the use of this photo - we cannot use news photos and call it fair use. Our use is not at all transformative - it's merely an attempt to not have to pay royalties. Even if we could legally use this photo, it violates our replaceability policy as it is used only to show what the guy looks like and he is still living. B 00:56, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Delete Delete This image is clearly replaceable fair use. It is an image of a living person as he currently appears, thus lacking the characteristic of being nonreplaceable. It might arguably be legal fair use, but it is not within fair use policy. --Ssbohio 01:38, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • I've weakened my position based on the claim below that the photo is historically significant due to the issue of the disbanded team. However, the image must be used in an article to be keepable, and it needs to have a clear fair use rationale for use in that article. --Ssbohio 14:17, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep while a photo of Sean Morey is potentially findable, it is impossible to replicate this image as Sean Morey no longer plays in NFL Europe. The team he played for The Barcelona Dragons was disbanded after the 2003 season. It is 100% impossible to replicate a photo of Sean Morey in a team uniform that doesn't exist anymore, in a game with a team that doesn't exist anymore, 4 years after said team was disbanded! As such this is a historically significant photo for Morey. Obviously a free image would be better, but until such time as we have one, this should be kept.  ALKIVAR 03:10, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Non-free image used to show what a living person looks like, should have been speedied. We don't use a non-free image because free images aren't available if they could be created. Jay32183 01:43, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is still UE. --DandanxD 00:34, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Of course it's not an image created for encyclopedic use, but as a commercial image released into the public domain it is one of very few non-fair use resources to illustrate erotic/pornographic commercial media. Not originally being of encyclopedic nature doesn't mean it can't have an encyclopedic purpose. VanTucky Talk 00:41, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Images from hisxpress.com

[edit]

Numerous images from this site (listed above) were uploaded under GFDL license based on this entry at Wikipedia:Successful requests for permission. However, due to some questions about one of the images, AnonEMouse did some checking, and the permissions folks apparently do not feel this is a good permission, because New Millennium Video, an online retailer, likely does not own the copyrights or have the right to release the images under the GFDL, and possibly gave the permission for purposes of self-promotion. Changing the license tag to non-free wouldn't help, as so far as I can see they would all be WP:NFCC#1 violations if claimed under fair use. Videmus Omnia Talk 14:57, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I checked the image pages of the first five images listed above, and none were tagged on as being part of an IfD discussion. Shouldn't tags have been placed at the start of the IfD? --Ssbohio 14:49, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Post facto comment This appears to have been a too hasty process with insuffiecient regard for proper procedure. No mention also is made of the fact that there was a previous ifd round on these images not leading to their deletion. __meco 12:38, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Image is a copyrighted cover of a newspaper which was accidentally uploaded under a GNU/CC license. Image was provided to me by the copyright holders to illustrate the subject in question, so it could be changed to a fair-use clause easily. However, there is a new and more suitable image already in use, so the image becomes redundant. In other words, it's an unused fair use image. VanTucky Talk 21:24, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
