Non replaceable image rationale
The image serves multi-purpose benefits to the corresponding article. For one, Europe Day is not only celebrated within the 27 member states of the EU, but also across the 47 members of the Council of Europe. The article already has an image of Europe Day festivities in EU member state Poland, but no visual components beyond that. Europe Day celebrates the concept/ values of a Pan-European identity, as such, it is important to be inclusive of the fact that this celebration is observed beyond the EU 27. The image demonstrates to the reader that this "holiday" is truly Pan-European. Furthermore, there is a misconception that Europe Day is only marked by parades and concerts. This image shows a street fair in Yerevan, showcasing the diversity and variety of Europe Day festivities. I have tried to find a freely licensed image, however, most images found are of the stereotypical flag waving/marching within the EU 27. Furthermore, it would be redundant to include yet another image of flag waving, since a visual of that nature is adequately represented. For the reasons listed above, I believe that this image does serve multi-purpose benefits to the article. Regards, Archives908 (talk) 17:12, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * The question is whether you could create another image which would show "Europe Day festivities in Yerevan, Armenia". If you don't think that the other images are sufficient, that's fine, however that still doesn't take away from the fact "Europe Day festivities" will happen annually, correct? So unless Europe Day only happened in 2015 in Armenia and won't happen again, then this is replaceable.Dylsss(talk contribs) 17:42, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Dylsss- In all honesty, I have been trying to find something for years. Most other images are not sufficient for the reasons mentioned above. Another obstacle is that there isn't much variety to begin with. Prior to 2015, Europe Day festivities in Armenia were mostly small events and not widely covered. From what is available, most are the stereotypical flag waving images, which fail to show the variety of Europe Day festivities. Its not just song concerts and flag waiving in EU capitals, but also networking and information/knowledge exchange events (among others) throughout Wider Europe. Trust me, if I could have found an alternative by now, I would. Also, Yerevan has not seen that magnitude of a Europe Day event since. Subsequent events were scaled back to due the Velvet revolution, parliamentary elections, political crisis, war, and now the pandemic. Archives908 (talk) 18:27, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
