To avoid deletion attempts
To avoid deletion attempts here is some info: See Death of Neda Agha-Soltan. And: File:Neda non graphic.jpg. That non-free frame from a famous Youtube video of her death was placed in the article one day after the article was created. See this version of the article from June 22, 2009. Scroll down to see the image.

See also Emmett Till (scroll down) and this famous non-free image of him dead: File:Emmit Till body.jpg. --Timeshifter (talk) 08:48, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Feel free to do so. However, getting permission may be difficult as the author does not seem to have a publicly known email address (which VRT requires) and has not been responding to Facebook comments. Ixfd64 (talk) 20:41, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Requesting edit to fair use rationale to reflect page move
The article has been moved from "Killing of George Floyd" to "Murder of George Floyd", per consensus at Talk:Murder of George Floyd/Archive 7. Would an admin like to update the fair use rationale to reflect the page move? Stylez995 (talk) 19:03, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
