File talk:Stephen Evans (NATO).jpg


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of a fair use image as a replaceable image. Please do not modify it. 

The result was to delete the image.

In theory, a free replacement image can be created, by finding the individual concerned, photographing him and using that image. But that's totally impractical. Therefore, a free replacement image cannot be reasonably found or created. On the other hand, NATO's guidelines (link given in "Other information") explicitly release photos to, among others, non-profits (that's us) provided that they are credited or sourced to NATO. That condition is fulfilled in the article. Furthermore, in at least one identical case, that of File:Paul Haddacks.jpg, a NATO image was not challenged and is in use. If that image is fair use, why isn't this one?
 * Non-free images of living people are not permitted under our fair use policy. The photo of Paul Haddacks has now been nominated for deletion. Sorry, -- Diannaa (talk) 01:16, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
