  • This non-free Associated Press photo is not historic, nor is it necessary for understanding the article Doug Flutie, in that it does not increase the reader's understanding of the subject in a way that words alone cannot. This image is a clear violation of WP:NFCC items 2 and 8. Note: Originally nominated for deletion on Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion/2007 April 17 and deleted by me as a result of that discussion. Restored today by User:Youngamerican claiming no consensus in original discussion. howcheng {chat} 17:54, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I think that you are painfully wrong about #8, as it is indeed an important historical event in the NFL AND the career of Flutie, but you are indeed correct about #2. I drop all objections to deletion. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 18:02, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep "Not historic" being a relative term, of course. It's not "Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima" historic, but within the history of American professional football, it certainly was. As stated on the page the image is being used on: In the Patriots' regular-season finale against the Miami Dolphins on January 1, 2006, Flutie successfully drop kicked a football for an extra point, something that had not been done in a regular-season NFL game since 1941. The ball went straight through the uprights for the extra point. The drop kick got a lot of media coverage at the time, and so yes, on the scale of importance, sure, it's only a game. But it was apparently important enough to be prominently featured in our own article on the subject... Jenolen speak it! 18:03, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It's part of the fair use equation, but not the entirety of it. For this image, User:Quadell asserts that the limited use of this copyrighted image in Wikipedia articles directly pertaining to it is a fair use of the image, for the following reasons:
  1. It depicts a non-repeatable, historic event.
  2. No free-license alternatives are available that convey the same information.
  3. The image is no larger, and of no higher quality, than required for its use in articles.
  4. It is used in Wikipedia only for educational purposes and is not used for profit.
  5. Its use on Wikipedia does not compete with the copyright holder.
  6. Its use on Wikipedia is not expected to decrease the value of the copyright to its holder.
That's more than good enough for me, especially when it comes to #2. If User:Quadell believes something has changed, and he/she no longer believes that, he/she should also drop a note here. Jenolen speak it! 18:15, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Item #5 of the rationale above is incorrect. The copyright holder makes a living out of licensing images like this for a fee. Our use of this image is exactly the kind of use that Associated Press's or one of it's clients would be doing. --Abu badali (talk) 18:22, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You mean, YOU believe Item #5 of the rationle is incorrect. Which is fine, but not emperical. Perhaps you should more thoroughly examine all of User:Quadell's contributions? He is obviously a free content-flouting scaliwag who cannot be trusted... Jenolen speak it! 18:29, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
FWIW, Quadell deleted the photo a while back and I was the one that first raised a stink and the notion that the image was fair use, and I've since converted. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 18:44, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Personally, I think a photo of this really doesn't help the reader understand the article, because I can't really conceptualize what a drop kick might look like, or see the surprise of the opposing team or whatever. A video of the drop kick, however, would be perfect. howcheng {chat} 18:27, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree about the photo, but I do agree that a video would rock. That being said, I still think it fails #2. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 18:44, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • What a mess. Four months ago I deemed this image to pass our first non-free content criterion because it shows an even which is obviously important, discussed in the article, and non-repeatable. At the time there were tens of thousands of obviously replaceable non-free images all over the wiki, and I wanted to focus on those more clear violations. I added the rationale using a template. On reflection, I doubt that this images passes our second criterion. We have to be extremely careful when using AP images, since they really do make their living producing and marketing such images, and they could make a compelling case in court that Wikipedia is competing with them directly. I can imagine a few, limited situations where using an AP photograph was justified -- but this is not it. As important as the event may be, the image does not obviously and unambiguously show the specific event (all a viewer can tell without context is that some guy in a helmet is drop-kicking a football), and the image does not show information that text alone would be insufficient to convey. Four months ago, we had enough blatant violations that a more minor violation like this could slide by; it's a testament to Wikipedia's steady improvement that we are now ready to tackle less obvious cases like this one. – Quadell (talk) (random) 19:04, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Absolutely not - news media photos are unacceptable. The fastest way for us to get into copyright trouble is to use news media photos without permission. There is no fair use defense here - it is blatant copyright infringement. --BigDT 22:56, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is purely an opinion of the person deleting as this same comment can apply to any page. There is no way you can show what Chinese goth looks like without an image. Benjwong 19:52, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
What Chinese goth looks like is not discussed in the article. But if it was, a free image should be used to illustrate that. --Abu badali (talk) 19:59, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The image caption already said this is the first band with goth rock image in the mainland. The picture is already showing the readers what it looks like. Must the exact wording be "This is what Chinese goth image looks like?" About replacing with free image, see comments below from the CuiJianAlbum.jpg. Benjwong 20:13, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Unfree image of an album cover being used to decorate a piece of text (weasel words apart) that mentions the person depicted on the cover. The image doesn't seems to add any noteworthy information that isn't already conveyed with text. Abu badali (talk) 19:26, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I am demanding ALL Non-free albums covers released after 1949 from China be usable as an exceptional rationale, since the communist party is already aggressively blocking wikipedia. See Great Firewall of China article. Regular users cannot just upload whatever they want as they don't have that option. The only thing left is album covers and posters. Benjwong 19:32, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but China's blocking policies have nothing to do with copyright laws. howcheng {chat} 20:25, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Question - If "critical commentary" can be added in an article about the album in question, per WP:Fair use#Images, can this, and other album covers remain on WP? Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 20:30, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It would be allowable alongside critical commentary in Cui Jian, but not in a general article about Chinese rock where the only purpose is to show a picture of Cui. howcheng {chat} 21:38, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Primary reason: image is only decorative and doesn't significantly contribute to the readers' understanding of the topic in a way words alone cannot, fails WP:NFCC #8.

    • It's a point of interest in the article and I do believe does add to the reader's understanding of the life and history of Bill Gates. It should not be removed. --Mystalic 00:21, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • I agree with the user above: It should not be removed. It is interesting to know where BG has been. I don't think it is to stigmatized Bill Gates because what "he is" is the result of where he's been.
    • Keep the image. Let readers see the multi-facets of his life. Jidanni 12:40, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment: I can't even see where the arrest is even mentioned in the article. Am I overlooking something? – Quadell (talk) (random) 18:04, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bill Gates was arrested for not having a drivers licence after running a stop sign or red light . His own admission . It would not be on file anymore because it was a nothing type crime. Keep the image. Shows he's human . I didn't know why he was arrested. Actually driving without a licence is not a 'nothing' type of crime in my country (UK). I think that if the image is to be kept then the reason for Mr Gates arrest should be explained. Given the broad grin, he clearly felt that it was a 'nothing' type of crime as well as the blogger above!

  • Delete. If the mugshot were free, there would be no problem, but because it's not, it needs to fulfill all ten of the NFCC, the biggest hurdle being #8 because there's no discussion about the image in the article, which doesn't even mention his being arrested. Even then, "Gates was arrested in New Mexico in 1977" doesn't need a mugshot to be understood. howcheng {chat} 22:17, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • If this image gets deleted it could be interpreted as an example of how much power and control microsoft (and specifically bill gates) has over what is and isn't available history and the control of content of prominent websites, for example, how is it that the bill gates wikipedia entry does not have an edit tab ! ?

    • Picture is both significatna and important to the subject of Bill Gates as it was during Bill's time at Apple that so much was learned about what Microsoft Windows required. --Rebroad 17:38, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • What was once a throw-away publicity photo has added significance now. It shows a young Bill Gates at a time when Silicon Vally worked together. I think it should stay as a historical image. As a publicity photo it falls under fair use. Mytwocents 17:53, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • It is absolutely significant and historic. Unfortunately, that's not sufficient for us to use a non-free image. It has to pass all our non-free content criteria, and this fails WP:NFCC #8. – Quadell (talk) (random) 18:06, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Good to have one image per every few years in his life like this. By the way, many readers do not read the words and only look at the images, therefore if you make the article drab with few images, you remove value from the encylopedia. Jidanni 12:46, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Fails NFCC #8 in that the sentence, "Gates, Kapor, and Gibbons all worked for Apple" doesn't need an image to understand. Jidanni, I understand where you're coming from, but we can't just take the copyrighted work of others because it makes our encyclopedia look nice. howcheng {chat} 22:21, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • No opinion. El_C 01:05, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is an iconic photo of the Six-Day war. "The famous photo of Narkiss striding into the Old City through the Lions' Gate with Moshe Dayan and Yitzhak Rabin on June 7, 1967, is one of those that has memorialized this chapter."[1] The source, Ilan Brunner of the Israeli Government Press Office is well known. [2][3]. I do not know whether an Israeli government photo is in the public domain. It certainly would qualify for wikipedia's use per the "fair use" doctrine, as far as I understand it. I would be that a higher resolution version could be found. GabrielF 17:04, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • GabrielF is right: this is a very famous photo in Israeli history. The most famous Six Day War photo is Image:Soldiers Western Wall 1967.jpg, which has been written about a lot, but this one is important as well. I don't know how it was used though, so I am unsure about undeletion. nadav (talk) 17:23, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I concur with GabrielF, this is an iconic photo at low resolution, which was illustrating the moment in question in the article to which it applied. It seems simple that FU applies here. TewfikTalk 20:30, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
