Delete This picture doesn't even come close to being of use to the Wikipedia. Seems to be more like a self-promotion image than an encyclopedic image. It's kind of like a boast if you will; shouting out to other users, "Hey! Look at this car that I own!". The image description backs that up. Razor flame 02:47, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I do not want this image to be deleted, but I do want it to go through proper channels rather than underhanded as was being done. This image was put up for deletion today as "no rationale." Since the original uploader hasn't edited for two years, I put the rationale in myself, being a good sport. Within an hour the same deletionist again tagged this for deletion, under "non-free use rationale is disputed." I don't know what his agenda is, but this is a useful illustration and I think it should be saved. Can anyone help? Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 00:59, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as the rationale is valid and the two articles in which it is used are perfectly legitimate uses of the image as they discuss topic of the cover story of the issue featured in the image. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 03:22, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- But they don't discuss the issue or the story itself. That's what would be required for this image to be within policy. —An gr 05:49, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as neither of the articles where this image is used discusses the magazine in general or this issue of the magazine in particular, except in the caption of the image itself. Thus the image violates WP:NFCC#8 and its own licensing tag, and its rationale is invalid. Incidentally, the description of tagging an image "disputed fair use" as being "underhanded" is ridiculous, and the description of me as a "rabid deletionist" is an uncivil, and untrue, personal attack. —An gr 05:33, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Model minority is about certain minorities being recognized as successful, and having a cover story in a major magazine about that minority's success — the precise topic of the article — is certainly significant. Contrary to your assertion, I don't see where WP:NFCC#8 (or any other WP policy for that matter) requires that use of a magazine cover has to be only for illustrating the magazine itself. Are you disputing something else in the fair-use rationale, or is this your only bone of contention? Jpatokal (talk) 06:23, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- If the articles Model minority and Stereotypes of East and Southeast Asians in the United States actually discussed the Newsweek article, or the cover of Newsweek magazine, then NFCC#8 might be met. But they don't: neitzher article never discusses this issue of Newsweek, and the image's own tag says it can only be used "to illustrate the publication of the issue of the magazine in question". That is not being done in this case. —Angr 05:47, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - The template does not assert that the image must be used to illustrate the magazine itself. The template asserts that the image must be used to illustrate the publication of the issue of the magazine in question. In Model minority, the image is captioned "April 1984 cover of Newsweek featuring an article on the success of Asian American students" — it's thus used to illustrate the publication of the issue, and the condition is met. Jpatokal (talk) 14:25, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - But the articles do not discuss the publication of the issue except in the caption to the image itself. Removing the image will not reduce understanding of the article, because there's nothing in the article referring to this issue of Newsweek. —An gr 23:26, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Meets NFCC#8 as improving reader's understanding of model minority. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 09:39, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relunctantly, delete per Angr's justification. I don't see why this cover is particularly significant or necessary in either of the two articles in which it is used. And he's right in that the usage violates the instructions in {{non-free magazine cover}}. Kelly ^hi! 14:54, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment NV8200 re-opened this after I noted that the image was neither tagged in-article nor on the article talk page. I hadn't intended for a re-opening, but simply wanted to remind closing admins that for a while, it seemed in vogue, if not in policy, to tag and/or note on talk pages that an image was of concern, and that sort of courtesy allows many problems to be sorted out. That said, in this particular case, I'm not sure there's a means to include more about the Newsweek material which would in itself justify the image, and I accept the deletion decision here without reservation.

Not suitable under GFDL as little individual images are not free use. Can't roll back to previous version as that had the club crest in, which isn't free use either...... ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:24, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - pretty sure there's no GFDL agreement for each and every image in this collage. Certainly no evidence of such. And it's an abomination of nature (not sure which criteria that fits under though...) Yuck. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:08, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The image was obviously taken at a press conference, access to such events is usually restricted to professional photographers. Its uploaded under low resolution: 250x250 which is common for image thumbnails. No EXIF data, of course. However it is tagged as PD-Self. There are only 2 contributions of User:Gejoro: the image upload and adding the link in the article. I suppose he was just a novice who didnt care of licenses. The story however continues on Commons where this same image was uploaded by another user and again as PD-self :-D Sadly, I could not detect it via Google Images despite of the numerous searches. But I am sure this is a case of copyright violation. Spiritia (talk) 21:34, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
