*Non-free image of a living person that is used just to show what the person looks like. Violates [[WP:NFCC]] #1 as it can be replaced by a free image. The subject makes frequent public appearences. [[User:Nv8200p|Nv8200p]] [[User_talk:Nv8200p|talk]] 00:24, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
*Please hold for a bit - I think this photo should have had a [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/ Share Alike 2.5] attribute given to it. I was given the photo by Mary Alice who works at Charm City Cakes via email. I asked for a photo I could release into public ___domain. She sent what you see and the key point was that it should have "Courtesy of Extended Image Photography" as credit for the photo. I'm sure my tagging of the photo was [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ANewyorkbrad&diff=103023409&oldid=102948373 incorrect] as I was trying to keep it on the "safe" side and tag it as copyrighted. My old computer crashed and the hard drive is now a external drive with an adapter. I'll see if I can retrieve the email and can forward to an admin. Worst case I could email Mary Alice again.

*Copyright violation. Taking a photo of a portrait doesn't grant the photographer rights to that image. Obsolete. By [[:Image:AnnRichards.jpg]]. Which probably shouldn't be around, either, considering it's nonfree and we have free alternatives, but that's for another deletion nomination. — '''[[User:Rebelguys2|Rebelguys2]]''' [[User talk:Rebelguys2|<sup
***And what does the official state portrait show that [[:Image:AnnRichards 20050210.jpg]] doesn't already do? -<small>(unsigned: Howcheng 18:50, 13 July 2007)</small>
**** The official state portrait is an [[iconic image]] that shows her appearance as [[Governor of Texas]], nearly 15 years younger, with different hairstyle ("[[Texas big hair]]" - see [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22Texas+big+hair%22 Google-search]: 1470 gHits) and different wardrobe (business attire). No equivalent free image has been found for her appearance while governor. She was a legendary personality, so I can't begin to explain all the implications, just consider "iconic" as key. Google lists 273,000 gHits about her (10 months after her death). -[[User:Wikid77|Wikid77]] 04:44, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
*****Sorry, but how is the change in appearance significant? And even if you believe it to be so, can you back up those statements with cited sources? Because this is a non-free image, the article has to create a need for it. In other words, if the image weren't there, would the reader have difficulty in understanding the text? If the image is not truly necessary, then it shouldn't be there. <span style="font-family:Verdana; ">'''[[User:Howcheng|<span style="color:#33C;">howcheng</span>]]''' <small>{[[User talk:Howcheng|chat]]}</small></span> 06:09, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
* '''Keep'''. Wikipedia frequently uses non-free images, due to an absence of free alternatives, to illustrate earlier stages in the lives of important figures (see, for example, [[:Image:Microsoft-Staff-1978.jpg]]). This appears to be one such case; the free image we have of Richards, taken in 2005, is not suitable for illustrating her tenure as governor (such as on [[List of Governors of Texas]]), since she didn't look like that while governor. [[User:LtPowers|Powers]] <sup><small><small>[[User talk:LtPowers|T]]</small></small></sup> 03:35, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
**This is a common argument, but this is only valid when the appearance of the person at a younger age is significant in some way. I can't think of any good examples off the top my head, however. And it's not like the free image is that much different than the portrait. You might have a better case if she went from having black hair to white hair for example. Again, this image is not critical to understanding the article's text (see [[WP:NFCC]] #8). If I'm wrong, please edify me and prepare to back up such statements with cited sources. <span style="font-family:Verdana; ">'''[[User:Howcheng|<span style="color:#33C;">howcheng</span>]]''' <small>{[[User talk:Howcheng|chat]]}</small></span> 16:45, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
***The appearance of the person at a younger age is significant '''because that's how she appeared when she was governor'''. I can't cite a source for that. I'm making no claims to the images usefulness on the [[Ann Richards]] article, but to the [[List of Governors of Texas]] article, which I think has different requirements. The purpose of the latter article is to provide information on the governorships, not the people themselves (that's why it lists the dates they were in office, not the dates they were alive). Likewise, any images should be of the governors as they appeared during their terms as governor, not as they might appear X number of years later. It's the same reasoning we use to allow fair-use images of actors in certain iconic roles -- if we're going to identify the people with a picture, it needs to be one relevant to the context. [[User:LtPowers|Powers]] <sup><small><small>[[User talk:LtPowers|T]]</small></small></sup> 19:44, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' as allowable fair use -- the image of someone in office is not replaceable with an image created many years later. Extreme example: for [[Shirley Temple]], images from her youth are acceptable fair use because an image of her today would not show her as a child star. Free images of public figures which show them not acting in the capacity for which they are known aren't acceptable substitutes for an encyclopedia. An image of the Queen of England in sweatpants jogging is not an image of the Queen. Nor is a long retired governor caught off guard in image of the governor of Texas. -- [[User:Mscuthbert|Myke Cuthbert]] <small>[[User_talk:Mscuthbert|(talk)]]</small> 08:03, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' one, delete the other. She's dead. It's not replaceable. [[User:The Evil Spartan|The Evil Spartan]] 23:29, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
*'''Whoa!''' Who deleted the image citing that this IfD as reason? I don't know what the outcome of this was likely to be, but I know that the admin who deleted it also did not know. -- [[User:Mscuthbert|Myke Cuthbert]] <small>[[User_talk:Mscuthbert|(talk)]]</small> 04:19, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

*Image is a pixel for pixel cropped horizontal flip of [[:Image:Awilda Carbia.jpg]]. The latter image was originally uploaded by the same uploader as the former image. When the latter image was uploaded, the uploader tried to claim the image was PD because it was published in the U.S. before 1923, an impossibility due to the subject not having been born until 1938. The latter image was updated with a fair use tag (but no source) indicating it to be a promotional photo. Due to our fair use policies on images of living people, the image was removed from the article it was used on. Subsequent to this, [[User:Entre-Nos]] uploaded [[:Image:Wiwi.JPG]], claiming "It's a portrait of Awilda Carbia digitized by myself, with the persmission of the photographer, Erick Borcherding, a Puerto Rican photographer, and released to public ___domain. It's a resized small photo" Given the source, I seriously doubt this is the case and this image constitutes a copyright violation. — [[User:Durin|Durin]] 13:52, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
::Hi Durin. Thank you for your concern, but it's unnecessary. Why do you doubt it's true? Do you have a reason to sustain your statement? It's a totally public ___domain photo. There's no problem with it. It's not featured in any website. It's in my documents. So, if deleting again the picture is your desire, it's ok. I'll find another one, but believe me, this is a matter of opinion and interpretation. No hassle. I don't like arguments. I just contribute with articles and images in good faith. I donate my knowledge and images for history. It's never been my style to violate. Never crossed my mind. I know there are a lot of spammers and violators, but I'm not one. I appreciate your investigations for the people that deserve it. In my case, it's out of the question. Keep up the good work, and believe me, I'm for real, not a hacker. Best regards.--[[User:Entre-Nos|Entre-Nos]] 22:20, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Why is this not fair use? I own the photograph—I paid for it. Michael Chabon [[User:Vanzorn]]
:: Why not pretend to be Jonathon Leathum instead?
*'''Delete''' <s>This photo '''must''' be speedily deleted.</s> It violates Paramount Pictures copyright. Every photo taken pays a royalty fee to Paramount. This photo from a Star Trek conventions paid a royalty to Paramount. You can make a copy of it for your own use but may not display it for any purpose. The only exception is if you claim ''fair use'' and you are using the photo in a news article to convey information or you are a fan club and displaying the information as such.
::: The problem with the photo is that the person that took the photo of the person and added the person to it, does not have the rights to make a copy either, so you cannot bestow those rights if you do not have them to begin with. I have a good deal of knowledge about how this law and it is applied by Paramount. The only way it could be kept, is by getting a release from Paramount Picture under fair use. They will not allow GDFL get it because someone else could crop the person out of the photo and then use this photo as a free image. Even the stars when they sign at the convention, pay a fee to Paramount for each glossy and there is a copyright notice on each. It is true the notice is missing from this photo but the original that you were added to is copyrighted. Now, if the person were added to the photo with the wax figures, it would be a completely different story. They are on public display. If this person is notable and the article is notable. Call Paramount for a release.
Also, this is not a screen capture from TV. It was actually created by the 35 mm film and then altered. At the convention the new head is added.

:'''Keep both''' - while they are undeniably similar, they illustrate different points and are discussed separately in [[Human Nature (Doctor Who episode)]]. One depicts some of the Doctors only, as seen in the episode itself, while the other shows all ten of them, as briefly shown on the BBC web site, an image that is no longer available there. The less inclusive version is discussed in connection with the episode and a citation on the BBC "Fact File" page, while the other is discussed in connection with the online appearance, the use of all ten Doctors in the prop, and an entry about the fictional object, John Smith's ''A Journal of Impossible Things'', in [[List of Doctor Who items#J]]. Neither image adequately illustrates the points being made in connection with the other image, IMO, and in at least one case, the image has been removed once with no replacement at all, despite the presence of a fair use rationale and a clear discussion of the image itself on the affected page. --[[User:Mavarin|Karen]] | [[User talk:Mavarin|Talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Mavarin|contribs]] 22:09, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

:'''Keep both''' These are separate yet related images which serve entirely different purposes on the [[Doctor Who]] episode article [[Human Nature (Doctor Who episode)]]: one serves to illustrate the plot, the other is used to further explain an important continuity note (the first depiction of original series Doctors in the revived series).
:Moreover, I'd like to register my concern at the nominator's decision to remain anonymous by not signing their nomination, at their failure to have the appropriate notice added to the image page of [[:Image:Past_doctors.jpg]] and also at their failure to give the uploader of both images, [[User:Sceptre]], due notice at his talk page.

:'''Delete''' at least one. The question is not whether they are currently used for two different purposes; the question is whether these same two purposes could be fulfilled with using only one of them. At present, the article is so confusing and poorly written I can't even make heads nor tails of what either of the two purposes is supposed to be anyway. The first, used in the context of the plot summary, is not even referenced by the plot summary, so we don't even learn what role this object plays in the plot. Please explain: what detail is visible in image (1) but not in image (2) that is crucial for purpose A, and what detail is visible in image (2) but not in image (1) that is crucial for purpose B?

::'''Comment''' Actually it is referenced, right next to the image; I just checked. The picture is of a notebook called ''A Journal of Impossible Things'', which in the plot is John Smith's first clue that he isn't who he thinks he is, part of a character and story arc that takes place across two episodes. The distinction between the two images may become clearer to you if you take a look at their uses in other articles as well, but basically, the close-up one is a clearer view of the scribbled text and shows which Doctors were actually seen on screen, while the other image is the only version that shows the likenesses of all ten Doctors, an important continuity milestone. Neither image adequately carries the load for the other, as one is notable for what is included and the other notable for what is omitted. I realize this is all a bit confusing from the perspective of someone unfamiliar with the show, and perhaps the plot description could be clearer. Nevertheless, it matters. Both images matter. Thanks - I hope that helps! -- [[User:Mavarin|Karen]] | [[User talk:Mavarin|Talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Mavarin|contribs]]
:::Question: in what sense is it significant to the plot that the left half of the page is not shown in picture 1?

[[User:Future Perfect at Sunrise|Fut.Perf.]] [[User talk:Future Perfect at Sunrise|☼]] 21:13, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
::::The close-up version that appeared on screen was specifically referenced on the BBC web site[http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/episodes/2007/facts/fact_308.shtml] with the visible and partly visible Doctors identified, a subject of erroneous speculation that the citation corrects and the image makes clearer. We can't use the two-page version in describing the plot because it didn't appear on screen, but the fact that the BBC showed that version on the web site gives it weight as to what the physical prop and fictional journal looked like, opening the door for saying that the Journal, as depicted in the larger image, had all the Doctors, the only new visual reference to some of them since the series was revived in 2005. For a show that has had few explicit references to its 1963-1997 continuity during this period, the image is highly significant.--[[User:Mavarin|Karen]] | [[User talk:Mavarin|Talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Mavarin|contribs]]
:::::Sorry, I'm utterly at a loss at understanding how anything of all this is even remotely of encyclopedic interest. [[User:Future Perfect at Sunrise|Fut.Perf.]] [[User talk:Future Perfect at Sunrise|☼]] 23:00, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
::::::Okay, one more try before I throw up my hands and say I'm afraid I can't help you. Between them, these two images say to the viewer, "You know all that stuff about the lead character from that other show with the same name, the stuff we've mostly avoided mentioning for two years? Well, that was the same character after all." There will always be a temptation to think that something one doesn't find interesting or comprehensible must not be encyclopedic, particularly within the realm of popular culture. But these two images are among the most historically significant in the entire 2005-present series, because they explicitly connect it to the 1963-1989 series and the somewhat controversial 1997 tv movie. There is only one other episode of the show that really does that, and it wasn't a visual reference per se. Until the Eighth Doctor appeared in this fictional notebook, it was possible for fans to say the TV movie never "really" happened in the context of the new show. That is no longer the case. -- [[User:Mavarin|Karen]] | [[User talk:Mavarin|Talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Mavarin|contribs]] 00:08, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::::Okay, but:
:::::::#The episode article really doesn't make any of these points, so it's not obvious why they need illustrating there.
:::::::#It smacks of [[WP:OR]] anyway.
:::::::#It still doesn't answer why you need it twice. What would be lost if you left out the first image (in the plot section) altogether, and just said in the caption to the second image that "on screen, only the upper part of the right page was actually seen"?
:::::::In fact, you still haven't answered my question how this particular fact is of any interest. The plot section doesn't need the illustration, because the plot summary makes no reference to any particular piece of content of those pages - does it matter that the doctor shows that particular page to the nurse and not the next one? Does she react to any of these portraits specifically? As far as I can see until now, the whole point of what faces are shown there revolves on the meta-level of intertextual allusions directed at the audience, but has no relevance at all within the plot itself.

::::::::I really should stop trying to explain, as promised. But:
::::::::#Yes, it does, in the continuity section, over more than one bullet point. It's also discussed in the [[Doctor (Doctor Who)]] article and in [[List of Doctor Who items#J]].
::::::::#There are citations that go with it; it's not particularly OR.
::::::::#That wouldn't be very accurate. One would have to say, "Only part of the right hand page is seen, from the smudgy necklines of the Fourth, Third and Second Doctors, to the eyelines of the Sixth and Fifth Doctors." That's a long way to go just to avoid using this image, IMO.
::::::::#Nurse Redfern pages her way through pretty much the whole Journal on screen, borrows it, reads it offscreen, and discusses it in some depth with Smith later. It's true that she doesn't specifically talk about those two pages, but she does help Smith to realize that the Doctor is real, and in the next episode she uses the Journal to discover the consequences if Smith does not "change back." The fact that the particular page is of more significance to the viewer than the character does not lessen the fact that Redfern must come to terms with the existence and nature of the Doctor, in part by reading the journal, and that the two page spread is indeed important from an out-of-universe perspective, which is something articles about fiction are supposed to track.--[[User:Mavarin|Karen]] | [[User talk:Mavarin|Talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Mavarin|contribs]] 06:38, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::::::Okay, you still haven't explained why it's crucial for the reader, ''in the context of the plot summary,'' to see which precise parts of which precise pages of the diary is shown or not shown, rather than just getting the information that "Nurse Redfern reads the diary", when all the issues about continuity related to the page with the faces are independent of its immediate role in the plot and are already discussed elsewhere with the help of the other image.
