Image:SibtigerT.zoo.jpg obsoleted by Image:Amur_Tiger_Panthera_tigris_altaica_Cub_2184px.jpg and others on the commons here. The image suffers from rather low quality/resolution. NOTE: the image was obsoleted by a picture that I uploaded and is now orphaned. The image used to be in the Siberian Tiger article. — -- RM 17:18, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I didn't even know that we delete free (GFDL-licensed) images because other free-licensed images have been uploaded. —msikma (user, talk) 07:14, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - It isn't an issue of whether or not it is free, but whether or not it is useful. Many images of low quality are useful because no alternative exists. Once an alternative exists, there is no reason to keep the low quality one. It has become obsolete (see WP:IFD for a list of typical reasons for deletion). The solution to this problem would be to upload the same image with a higher resolution (if it is available). It is also possible that it could be uploaded to the commons instead, but I'm not sure what their policy is regarding this issue. But it would seem like a valid option, since they permit orphaned images. (See here). It's nothing personal against your picture, I have a number of low quality pictures that I myself have uploaded that will eventually have to be deleted or replaced because they are no longer useful. -- RM 13:05, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    - It isn't actually my picture, I just cropped off a piece of it to make the subject appear in the center. I neutral on whether the image stays or not (my comment isn't a "keep"). If the image is not useful, then I guess it's reasonable to delete it to free up space. —msikma (user, talk) 15:46, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      - Since you uploaded it, if you don't mind it being deleted, you can nominate it for speedy deletion and avoid this 5 day waiting period. -- RM 23:41, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep No new pictures can be made of this event. It is also extremely unlikely that any of the few pictures made during the event will be released as free content, or even be available beyond mainstream media photographs. Joshdboz 15:32, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the image should have been titled Samjhauta instead of Samjhaut. Must have been a typo or something. Nishkid 64 23:52, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Fair use#Policy criteria 2. This is a press photo or TV screenshot — the BBC — see Wikipedia:Fair use#Counterexamples criteria 5. — Rebelguys2 ^talk 23:07, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Photo was received freely so this is not preventing the purchase of a product, and it is not a large copyrighted photograph from an agency that makes its income selling photos. Although you can argue that this is not completely in line with counterexample 5, that is a guideline, whereas this photo is acceptable under WP policy, especially criteria 1. Joshdboz 12:45, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - photo was not recived freely. PAyment in this case is the form of TV lisences but since it is unlikely the BBC owns the copyright that is largely irrelivant. The original owner is unlikely to have given it freelyGeni 06:44, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, fails counterexample #5, this image is "almost certainly not be fair use" because it is "a photo from a press agency (e.g. Reuters, AP), not so famous as to be iconic, to illustrate an article on the subject of the photo." --Iamunknown 21:42, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. A tragic event - no doubt. But nothing conveyed by the image could not be conveyed by words (i.e. can be replaced by text). Additionally likely not BBC copyright, most likely they had to pay to use it - just because they have the right to give it away "free as in beer" doesn't mean that we do. Our use of the image is potentially competing with the creators ability to sell the image/media. Not fair use - therefore delete. Megapixie 12:57, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I know these are not votes, but 2/3 of respondents said keep. Why was this image unilaterally deleted? Joshdboz 23:07, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

CV. Not a particularly unique historical photograph. Press photos cannot be used, as there is no fair use rationale. Noncommercial release has no effect on image's status on Wikipedia. — Rebelguys2 ^talk 03:43, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep rationale given --TheFEARgod (Ч) 14:45, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Wikipedia:Fair use explicitly notes as a counterexample that press photos, unless iconic, are not to be used. — Rebelguys2 ^talk 22:58, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The statement, "source gives permission for non-commercial use," is not a convincing element of any fair use rationale. An image that merely "shows fighting" is not sufficiently notable or of an encyclopedic nature to justify using the image without permission of the copyright holder: any old image shows fighting. Furthermore, the image is neither sufficiently notable, iconic, nor historical to use without permission. There are several other images of unnotable, insignificant events in article "Second Chechen War," and this image may be superseded by one of them. --Iamunknown 21:08, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

CV. Press photos have no fair use rationale. — Rebelguys2 ^talk 03:46, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I gave a good Fair use rationale --TheFEARgod (Ч) 14:42, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
* Keep reluctantly. Current rationale for using the image without permission under fair use is not adequate, but I agree that it would be difficult, but not impossible, to find an adequate free-content image. The image does, nonetheless, add significantly to the article as no other images are present. --Iamunknown 21:13, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia:Fair use states as a fair use counterexample "[a] photo from a press agency (e.g. Reuters, AP), not so famous as to be iconic, to illustrate an article on the subject of the photo." Iconic photos are like those of Mary Ann Vecchio at Kent State, the execution of Nguyễn Văn Lem, and the like. This photo simply illustrates the subject of the photo — and the subject is simply generic Palestinian violence. So, no, there's not much of a reason to keep this image. — Rebelguys2 ^talk 22:56, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Rebelguys2 response to my original "keep." I failed to consider counterexample #5. --Iamunknown 21:37, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This image has no source information. While any image in the public domain does not legally need a source, for the purposes of Wikipedia in order to verify the copyright status of this image, I and every other editor need a source, the name of the painter, the time when the painting was painted, and technically when the painting was published. I nominated the painting for speedy deletion with {{subst:nsd}} because of this issue, and have been reverted twice. I have no intention of getting into an edit war, and I do not want to violate the three-revert rule, so now I am bringing this to Images and media for deletion. Unless adequate information is given to verify the copyright status of this image, I recommend deletion.- Iamunknown 06:21, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete In addition to no attributions for this image, the uploader seems to be mistaken about what this image is of.
