Fair Use Discussion
Believing I have addressed the issue sufficiently, I removed the template. I think this is a pretty clear fair use case, as he was confined to a care facility for the last 13 years, thus it is super unlikely that a free image would be available. All other images available online are copyrighted. Lastly, WP:NFCCP doesn't make any claim regarding recently deceased people. I believe the "No free equivalent" guideline is met. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk)  @ 21:21, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Gonzo. I didn't delve into it too much and wasn't aware of his living situation the last decade+. The recently deceased part doesn't seem to be documented anywhere that I could find, but it is indeed a community norm. Killiondude (talk) 21:51, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
 * No problem . I don't doubt the community norm part, just that it isn't written in stone, meaning that exceptions can be justified. I think this is a pretty good case to go right ahead and claim fair use, as the likelihood that a free equivalent will become available is highly unlikely. « Gonzo fan2007  (talk)  @ 21:57, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I think the point is not that a free image can no longer be made, or even recently, but can a free image be obtained, e.g. have we gone through Flickr etc to find free images, or even images which we could ask to be re-licensed appropriately?

 * yep, I did a thorough search. Flickr has nothing. The problem, like I said above, was that over the last 13 years he has been in assisted living and hasn't been out and about. Thus, the only option would be asking organizations that never freely release their material, such as newspapers, the Packers themselves, etc. I don't see any chance for a free image. « Gonzo fan2007  (talk)  @ 20:22, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
