Have you discussed this on a talk page?

Yes, I have discussed this issue on a talk page already.

Location of dispute Users involved

Dispute overview

As it can be seen here, user User:SudoGhost argues that this picture is violating WP:NFCC and that a cosplay picture from Commons would do just fine. However, I've justified the use of the picture on every policy criteria not only on its respective page but also on the discussion present in the talk page of the article 'Jedi'. Two users User:Aspects and User:EVula have entered the discussion supporting my argument. Since a consensus hasn't been reached, I come asking for a dispute resolution.

Have you tried to resolve this previously?

Waited for the opinion of other users on the matter.

How do you think we can help?

This seems to be a matter of interpretation of a violation (or lack of, in my opinion) of non-free content criteria. I hope some clarification.

I came across the image when I was checking through orphaned images. Since it was being discussed at the talk page, I put the image back into the article because I felt it should not be deleted just for being orphaned, but I was reverted. I agree with LusoEditor that it passes WP:NFCC, which was SudoGhost's first complaint, but I am not so sure it passes WP:NFCC and wanted more discussion on the issue. The conversation started going in circles and then eventually stale, I suggested three time that the issue to Files for deletion to get more opinions from editors with more NFCC experience, but that has not happened yet.

The following is not to be misunderstood as a discussion of the actual dispute, but whether the argument made by the initiating volunteer is sufficient to decline this filing and close with recommendations to the best venue.

 * As a regular volunteer here at the DR/N I would like to mention something that may be relevant. Non Free content is generally handled at Non-free content review and Files for deletion. In general, the argument appears to be the criteria of NFCC.

NFCC#1:

and

NFCC#8:

I would like to propose that this filing be closed as "Wrong venue" and suggest Non free content review.--Amadscientist (talk) 23:37, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

Jedi discussion
Please do not use this for discussing the dispute prior to a volunteer opening the thread for comments - continue discussing the issues on the article talk page if necessary. Welcome to the Dispute Resolution Noticeboard. Though I am a regular volunteer here, I am neither "taking" nor opening this case for discussion at this time. A volunteer will open this for discussion once all parties have made their opening statements. I'm posting this simply to procedurally note that I have added and notified three additional participants, two mentioned by the listing editor and one other who participated in the discussion at the article talk page.
