The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the media below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the media's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was: delete. We need to know whose non-free content we're reusing and credit them accordingly. WP:IUP mentions URLs, but I interpret this as meaning a URL that points to the owner of the image and not a random website with no obvious relationship to the copyright holder. The likelihood is that this image is in the public ___domain anyway, but it needs evidence to prove that and the source is the first piece in the chain.

Your mileage may vary. If it does you'll be wanting Wikipedia:deletion review. With a source I wouldn't have been happy to close this as keep - I would like us to take a very much narrower view on non-free content - but I would have done because that seems to be in line with the community consensus.

And in closing, there's really no call for the unpleasantness on display here. There's none of us perfect. Let's worry more about our own imperfections and less about those of other editors. Angus McLellan (Talk) 00:39, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Non-free image with unknown copyright holder (it was just downloaded from some fan-forum where it was posted as an ugly collage). Damiens.rf 12:26, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep-The subject of the image died over a quarter century ago, making it difficult to find many other images of her. As a beauty queen, it is appropriate that she be shown as she was at the heyday of her artificially and unfortunately short career, when she served as Miss Puerto Rico. There is no more relevant image of her than that. Is the image "needed", essential, indospensable? But neither is any other image in any other biography. Is it desirable, does it help the reader get a better "feel" as to the subject of the bio? Besides, I really do not think that a reputable institution such as "Univision" would permit an image with copyright restrictions, just my humble opinion. Tony the Marine (talk) 18:54, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
For god's sake, Marine. Didn't you learn a thing? In your 121-word-long reply (not counting the vote) you failed to address what is questioned in the nomination, and preferred to explain how convenient it would be if we could just use this image. Have some admin-dignity and stop asking us to ignore our policy. Yes, of course the reputable institution "Univision" gives a shit for the copyright status of what their users post on their foruns, just look at all the fan-work on the very page you downloaded this image from to check that. --Damiens.rf 19:58, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
How incredibly rude. I believe you owe Tony an apology! bahamut0013wordsdeeds 23:25, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
At least I didn't call anyone a fascist. --Damiens.rf 13:04, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment- This not the forum for your insults, but your constent attacks to my person requires that I address you as such. It seems to me, Damiens, that you are the rudest and most uncivil editor that I have ever dealt with. Your snarky remarks and name calling have no place in Wikipedia. You claim to be a "so-called" expert in the image issues, but your responses and the statement "Univision gives a shit for the copyright status" leaves a lot to desired. Please refrain from your personal attacks and stick just to the issues. Tony the Marine (talk) 00:21, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • The rationale for using this non-free content is: "There is no "free" equivalent of an actual factory photograph showing the Marquis coupe. It should be noted that the '79-'82 Marquis coupe is extremely rare." However, the image is in a section which deals with the 1979-82 model Marquis, and not specifically the coupe. There is an example of a freer CC licensed, but not free-enough, 1981 Marquis on Flickr. Better that than a non-free image according to WP:NFCC. There are also free ones on Flickr which might be the right model such as this (CC-BY-SA) if anyone who can tell the models apart checked. Angus McLellan (Talk) 22:26, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The car in that second link is a '73-'78 model. What do you mean by "not free enough" for the first one? Can it be uploaded to Wikipedia and used in the article or not? --Sable232 (talk) 03:48, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It can be used but it would still need a fair-use rationale template. It's better to use a sort-of-free image than a not-at-all-free one. Angus McLellan (Talk) 23:06, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
How is some person's photograph "fair-use" more so than the manufacturer's image which was released specifically for this purpose? --Sable232 (talk) 19:18, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Because it's freer and more reuseable. Non-commercial isn't ideal, but somewhere down the line someone who couldn't reuse a non-free image in their project may be able to reuse a non-commercial one. Fair-use is not a concept recognised in every (or even most) legal systems. Some day after Wikipedia is gone a distant descendant of the Marquis article might be going to be on the front page of a Tagalog Wikipedia-replacement that doesn't even exist yet and they'll be stuffed for a picture because they won't do fair-use. (If the Philippines do do fair-use, pick some other country that doesn't.) Think global, think long-term. Angus McLellan (Talk) 01:06, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Concerns that this image may not meet all Wikipedia:non-free content criteria, and especially #1 and #8, have not been wholly addressed. Angus McLellan (Talk) 16:37, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • The album cover is used in the band's article without critical commentary against Wikipedia:Non-free content and is being used in the lead to illustrate the band and not the album itself against "solely to illustrate the audio recording in question" from the licensing agreement. The article only lists the release date and the peak chart positions of the album. The album cover also fails WP:NFCC#8 Aspects (talk) 23:35, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I disagree with this statement and am copying the discussion from the file's talk page:
There is critical commentary on this album in the article Opera Babes, and the album has no article of its own, so Opera Babes is the only place where the album is described and critiqued. The critical commentary on the album includes the following from the second paragraph of the main section of the article, as follows:
The Opera Babes released their first album, Opera Babes: Beyond Imagination in 2002 (ranking No. 1 on the UK classical charts for 11 weeks, and No. 4 on the U.S. billboard charts), contained classical and "crossover" numbers. Knight explained the group's strategy to BBC News as follows: "[W]e have tried to maintain the classical integrity while making these things more appealing to a wider audience."[2] They soon had a falling out with their producer, SonyBMG, which asked them to concentrate on studio work, rather than performing live. "We were originally discovered busking... so I would have thought it was obvious that we loved performing live, yet Sony weren't interested," said Karen England.....[3] All the best, -- Ssilvers (talk) 00:22, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with the above comment. There is no specific article on the album, which is only discussed in the Opera Babes article, so this is the correct and only place for the image to be until someone writes an article about the album. The 'Non-free' use tag fully explains this position. Based on that, I am removing the 'delete' tag. Jack1956 (talk) 08:09, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I believe that this image, as used in this article, complies with the WP:FU guidelines. -- Ssilvers (talk) 23:45, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The first sentence is what I stated, the release date of the album and the peak chart positions. The second sentence is about the band's style and not about the album. The third sentence is about a fallout with the label and not about the album. So, the first sentence being the only one about the album is not enough critical commentary for fair use in the article. Also, you have failed to ever address the placement of the image since it shows it is being used to illustrate the band and not the album itself. Aspects (talk) 23:52, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
To address User:Aspects's objections, I have moved the image next to the discussion and added some information from a review of the album. The information about the album now reads:
The Opera Babes released their first album, Opera Babes: Beyond Imagination in 2002 (ranking No. 1 on the UK classical charts for 11 weeks, and No. 4 on the U.S. billboard charts), consisting of classical and "crossover" numbers. In addition to the "One Fine Day" track being selected as the World Cup 2002 theme by ITV, British Airways chose another of the tracks, "Lakme H2O", a "stylish re-imagining of the Flower Duet from Lakme", for a commercial. One reviewer wrote "If you're a young individual with a remote interest in the classical genre, this disc is the perfect introduction".[3] The artists soon had a falling out with their producer, SonyBMG, which asked them to concentrate on studio work, rather than performing live. "We were originally discovered busking ... so I would have thought it was obvious that we loved performing live, yet Sony weren't interested," said Karen England. -- Ssilvers (talk) 00:21, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I had a situation a while back that was similar: At KMG Records there was the cover of an album, an "archives" release, one in over 100. The article did provide commentary: a review indicated that the covers were generic, providing minimal visual styling. The cover image was located beside the paragraph that supported it. Addditionally, you will see that the caption (alt text)lists the cover as "A typical Classic Archives resease", indicating that what was picuured represents the general form that these took, which again, was described by a magazine (a cited source) and called generic by the same. The diff for inserting the image.

Question: What is the threshhold being used for "critical commentary?" I thought that I had at least covered the basis. Dan, the CowMan (talk) 02:21, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete / Comment: The justification for using this image is weak IMO. As some editors obviously want to save it, I think the best solution would be to start a new article about the recording itself. That page should contain the image and a discussion of the 'album'. If that is not done and the issue is left hanging, I am minded to suggest deletion. --Kleinzach 05:04, 16 December 2009 (UTC) Delete as per my explanation. --Kleinzach 02:36, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Jack1956's summary seems to me to be ad rem. If there were a separate article it would be another matter, but at present there isn't, and the image is properly used where it is. Tim riley (talk) 19:10, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: This is a nice canvassed vote, [1], from a friend of the uploader who has no history of editing either the article or the image. Aspects (talk) 21:01, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Aspects, you misunderstand "canvassing" as you misunderstand Fair use. I asked this experienced and respected user to give his opinion because he has a good feel for the fair use guidelines. This was clearly a friendly notice, not inappropriate canvassing. Note, btw, that you had no more "history of editing either the article or the image" than did Tim Riley before you decided to delete this image. -- Ssilvers (talk) 03:42, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ssilvers: to clarify, who else did you send a 'friendly notice' to? Did you send it to anyone who might have asked for deletion? --Kleinzach 04:06, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - No one seems to have spotted the crucial factor here: Non-free content is used only where no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose. One could easily create a free image of the performers: go to a gig armed with your camera and snap away! If the album cover were to be used in an article about the album, that would be different... --Jubilee♫clipman 16:05, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. per above. Fails WP:NFCC#8. -FASTILY (TALK) 01:46, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - WP:NFCC#8 says: "Contextual significance. Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding." If this cover art does not increase readers' understanding of the section of the article, then what fair use image does? IMO, people are over-interpreting the FU guidelines, and Wikipedia is poorer for it. -- Ssilvers (talk) 03:40, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
