Unused; was previously used in the article Silkscreen (typeface), which was deleted because the font was deemed to be non-notable. The licensing is also a little unclear—Jason Kottke appears to have given permission only for this image to be used on Wikipedia, not for it to be released into the public domain. —Bkell (talk) 14:47, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I'm not sure abou the licensing, that's confusing to me, but it's orphaned - a violation of WP:NFCC rule 7, and that's enough for me to support deletion. IceUnshattered (talk) 18:44, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Michael Riccardi.jpg (delete | talk | history | logs) - uploaded by Joey121293 (notify | contribs).

Unused. This seems to be a photo of Michael Riccardi when he was 13 years old. It's been removed several times from the article, likely because Michael Riccardi's importance lies in an act he committed some 15 years later, and so the picture of this child is not representative of the events described in the article. —Bkell (talk) 15:23, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: This image has been nominated for deletion once before, on 20 March 2008. The result of that discussion was Keep; the reasoning was that we use freely licensed photos of individuals when we can. I agree with this point, but my counterpoint would be that this image hasn't been used in the Michael Riccardi article since 28 March 2008. It appears that consensus has been reached not to use this image in the article. —Bkell (talk) 15:29, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, as orphaned, unencyclopedic, and low quality. Unless this article is significantly expanded, with much more information about his childhood, which would allow this photograph to be used in context, I can see no encyclopedic value to keeping it.

The result of the debate was

 - Delete - basically due to the NFCC#8 arguments. Arguments that an image shows a character in context ( here in a uniform), have missed the significance part of the policy, and I see that on a policy basis the consensus is to delete. In the deletion arguments it has been asserted that the image fails this part, in that it fails to both significantly add to readers understanding of the topic and that have its omission be detrimental to that understanding. The policy section Wikipedia:NFC#Non-free_image_use_in_list_articles is particularly pertinent for images in this type of article - Peripitus (Talk) 07:26, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image:StargateWest.jpg (delete | talk | history | logs) - uploaded by Deathbunny (notify | contribs).

Nonnotable one-off character who IMO doesn't need an image per WP:NFC #1, #3 (article level) and #8. Image removal was reverted, so I'm taking it here. (edit: This image is also used in the stubbish article on the actor who seems to still be alive, but the vibe from NFC is that non-free images on BLP articles are generally a no-no.) – sgeureka ^t•c 18:15, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Addendum: I should have said that he is really non-notable in the series, and yet his image appears in an article for the series. See my replies below. – sgeureka ^t•c 18:27, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Actor/character may, or may not, have notability in the Stargate community, but this image is also used in the actor's article to illustrate who he is. The actor indeed seems to be alive and is one whose face is recognizable although the name may not be, but who is reticent about personal appearances and interviews, thus free images may be difficult to obtain. In fact, he has increasingly risen in prominence and recognizability over the last several years with notable supporting roles in major films such as The Patriot, The Life of David Gale, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil and The Alamo, and TV series Deadwood, and most significantly, second lead in Saving Grace, which is a huge cable hit opposite Holly Hunter. Wildhartlivie (talk) 01:09, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- As pointed out by Sgeureka, fair-use images of living people are generally not acceptable, and WP:NFC (Unacceptable images #12) covers this. It is almost always considered possible to obtain a free image of a living person, even if it may be difficult. — Huntster (t • @ • c) 12:28, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per my statement immediately above. This is especially the case, considering that the image is being used as the primary means of identifying the actor, rather than assisting the prose in some fashion. — Huntster (t • @ • c) 12:28, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

While I concur that the image of the actor shouldn't be on his page (the actor himself is indeed alive and another image could be taken of him), his presence on a TV show could certainly merit a screen shot for purposes of identifying the character he portrayed. This image is irreplaceable as the show is no longer on the air. The fact that the actor is alive is irrelevant for usage on the TV show page. — BQZip01 — ^talk 16:19, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Except that he doesn't even appear in the television series (the article is List of Tau'ri characters in Stargate SG-1); he is a supporting character from a film and a book, and is just mentioned by name once(?) in the TV series. – sgeureka ^t•c 18:27, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The image has been removed from the actor's page, but should be kept on the Stargate-related page. It serves to identify the character. This image cannot be replaced as the show is off the air and no free alternative could possibly exist within this context, therefore WP:NFC #1 is satisfied. I don't see how WP:NFC #3 applies at all. Please explain. WP:NFC #8 is satisfied as it shows the character in context. It is a single image. I would also object to additional images about this character or placing this image anywhere outside its given context or in a trivial manner. — BQZip01 — ^talk 16:19, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As I said/implied, you don't need to identify a character with an image if he never even appears in the series. – sgeureka ^t•c 18:27, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(1) Copy-paste? (2) Take a camera, visit the actor and ask him if you can take a picture of him. Difficulty is subjective and thus not an excuse to keep copyrighted material on a free project. E.g. you may have enormous difficulty obtaining an image of Lars Riedel, but I know the house where he lives and it would be fairly easy for me to get an image of him (if I had a camera). – sgeureka ^t•c 18:27, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
