 * Cover of a book, used only in Black Widow (woman), which does not mention the book or the cover.- – Quadell (talk) (random) 01:09, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: the book now has it's own article and picture is being used Love, Honor, and Devour: The Black Widow Syndrome. PianoKeys 23:10, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - the book is mentioned in the "Further Reading" section. PianoKeys 11:28, 28 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep - The justification is at the image. In addition, we do not delete images here simply because someone does not like the article it is used at, the image is allowed at Wikipedia even if it is not currently used at an article. PianoKeys 10:06, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, we do delete images that are not currently used at an article. "Fair use" images that are not used in articles meet the criteria for speedy deletion (specifically I5; it's also criteria 7 at Non-free content criteria). As for your fair use rationale, that is disuputed (failing criteria 8 at WP:FUC). Cover art is specifically covered at Non-free_content and states Cover art: Cover art from various items, for identification only in the context of critical commentary of that item (not for identification without critical commentary). The article isn't about the cover art, or even the book in question. The article doesn't mention the cover art, and there is no critical commentary regarding the cover art. I also believe any such commentary, even if it were hypothetically created, would be misplaced at that article. I hope this helps explain why there is concern over this image's use (and it has nothing to do with the subject matter of the article in question). Thanks.-Andrew c 14:13, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Kept but removed from all articles except the book article.  howcheng  {chat} 17:01, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

 * weak fair use claim because the subjects are still alive and a free alternative is not out of the question. These images do not convey anything not already provided by text. Bleh999 04:16, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. As for the first claim, suspects are in police custody and are not available for photographs. It is unlikely they will be available to the public again. As for the second claim, I think images of the suspects convey a good deal of information that text alone can not convey. Otherwise, why have pictures of anyone? – Quadell (talk) (random) 04:20, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree with you, but its still not impossible that a free alternative exists Bleh999 04:44, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * But you should still not assume they will be convicted, hence further weakening the fair use claim, besides they are non notable, if they were notable why no biography on them on wikipedia? Bleh999 06:02, 28 June 2007 (UTC)


 * KEEP - Just until a free-use image comes available Hornet man  16  04:45, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, we can't do that. – Quadell (talk) (random) 04:47, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * KEEP - Photograph is crucial to the understanding of the controversy surrounding the lack of media coverage in the reports, especially since PC editors keep removing any mention of the race of the perps. Chesspieceface 05:05, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * That is actually a point against the validity of the fair use rationale, if this is a non notable news story, why do we need a photograph of each of the suspects? No one has even been convicted yet, there is no biography or articles on any of the suspects on wikipedia - they are non notable Bleh999 06:00, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * But at least you admit the only reason to keep is for racial identification, I do not believe that is a valid fair use rational regardless, if you have content disputes, solve them in other ways, rather than needing copyrighted images. Bleh999 06:06, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * If this is a non-notable news story, as you assert, then nominate it for deletion -- don't try and do an end run by consuming everyone's time and energy arguing over whether the pictures should be deleted. --Haemo 23:58, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Don't make personal attacks, no one asked you to comment here, so any time wasted of yours is of your own choice. Besides, images are judged on their own merits, it doesn't mean because an image is deleted, the article should be. Bleh999 11:04, 29 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep - not replaceable, and substantially important to the issue of race in the article. As I argued on the other image nomination, the pictures of the victims, and the suspects played a role in the controversy surrounding the crime.  Essentially to any cogent understanding of the issues surrounding this case.  Furthermore, when, in any imaginable universe, are you going to get four suspected murderers to all pose together.  The concept of "replaceable fair use" is that a duplicate image, or very similar image, could reasonably be produced.  That isn't going to happen -- especially if they're found guilty.  --Haemo 23:58, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Where in US fair use laws does it state racial identification is a valid fair use criteria? It seems your reasons for keeping are increasingly POV, you can write in the article they are black, the article is not (at the moment at least) an essay on race and crime, in fact no one has claimed it was a race hate crime, so your main reason for keeping substantially important to the issue of race in the article is completely invalid. Bleh999 11:11, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Why would fair use need to assert that? In this case, the only reason these murders are notable is because of the controversy which surrounds them -- a controversy based on race.  It doesn't have to be a hate crime -- merely the fact that the images of the victims/suspects have played a role in the controversy is critical to their inclusion.  --Haemo 05:28, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I think you are misinformed, the article in its current state does not mention race at all, the only mention of race is the title of one of the refs City leaders say race not an element in Christian, Newsom murders Channon_Christian_and_Christopher_Newsom_murder, so why is it a controversy based on race as you assert, the article in its current state does not make that claim. Maybe you should read it before you coment... Bleh999 09:29, 30 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep if the source and copyright holder are verified per WP:NFCCa. Right now I'm somewhat skeptical the uploader got them directly from the police department (though it's possible). What it appears is that the image was merged together from the mugshots in the same online Court TV article the victims' picture was sourced to (where they are clearly labelled as mugshots, but could be interpreted as falling under the same copyright as the victim picture). But if they're verified per WP:NFCCa, I think it's valid fair use. Videmus Omnia 01:40, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Good point, the uploader did not provide a source for the image(s), if he took it from some website he has to credit it. There is a big difference between valid fair use and required fair use, I'm not convinced that these images are required, especially if the victims photos get deleted. Bleh999 11:16, 29 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete for the same reason as the image of the victims -- violation of NFCC #8. We don't need to see a picture of the suspects to understand that they're black. Additionally the contrast of "smiling white couple" against "thug-looking black people" is a subtle racial bias.  howcheng  {chat} 21:18, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

 * no source to verify the claim that this is source material (Please, we have debated this kind of situation a thousand times rencently, let's avoid repeating ourselves. New facts are welcome. Old arguments, rants, comments about the nominator and unfruitful sarcasm are not. As a good reminder, let's not feed the trolls). Abu badali (talk) 05:29, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: The subject of the image sort of looks like a troll. Isn't this a drawing or painting? It doesn't look like a photograph to me. There could be multiple copyright issues with this one. A screenshot would be much better. – Quadell (talk) (random) 12:22, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Replaced with an attributed screenshot, fair use rationale for Nog added, old images deleted. Cheers, Wily D 14:14, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

 * No evidence this was released as promotional material. "Source info" is a link to a fansite. Abu badali (talk) 05:33, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Although obviously a promo image, the link is to the wrong fansite, which doesn't have it anyways. Nonetheless, Memory-Alpha.org does have lots of sourced fair-use applicable images that could replace this.  I'll look into it. Wily D  13:36, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I've replaced it with a sourced screenshot and added a fair use rationale for the article Doctor (Star Trek). I also boldy went ahead and deleted the old ones, so it seems there's nothing left to discuss. Wily D  13:57, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Strong delete Per nominator, fails Non-free content criteria. Garion96 (talk) 12:45, 28 June 2007 (UTC) Delete Unnecessary fair-use animation. While it does to some degree illustrate the title graphic, some 10 words in the section serve the exact same purpose (well, OK, I didn't understand that it spins slightly, but is that really significant?). It's just not particularly important for the understanding of the article in general (WP:NFCC). It's just described in the text, with no real comment or analysis, so could probably also be covered by unacceptable use example no. 15. --Pekaje 12:48, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * The article on Lost (TV series) already contains one non-free still from the title of the TV series. This animation duplicates it, it is a larger portion than is necessary to illustrate the series in question, and does not improve the understanding of the topic in a way that can't be expressed in words. Fails WP:NFCCa and WP:NFCC. Videmus Omnia 11:59, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete For the reasons I gave at the Fair use review. nadav (talk) 17:23, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong keep: What the hell are you on about?! I uploaded that gif long before someone put up the still image, and it served its purpose in the 'Episode format' section. I think a much better picture could be put in place of the still frame at the top, as it does nothing at all to illustrate the show. -- Silva  Storm

Keep - Image now on 1982-83 New Jersey Devils season (currently undergoing creation & expansion); fair use rationale as follows:
 * Primary reason: the image does not significantly contribute to the readers' understanding of the topic of New Jersey Devils, it merely decorates the article, fails WP:NFCC #8. Secondary reason: the image was recently orphaned, fails WP:NFCC #7. I first expressed my concerns about the fair use rationale on June 26, 2007, but the  tag was removed after the fair use rationale was changed. I described my concerns as: "An ordinary group portrait does not display a historic event, and therefore I believe the fair use rationale is not explaining why this non-free image qualifies as fair use in New Jersey Devils." — Ilse@ 17:20, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Low resolution
 * Picture is of historic nature: first ever New Jersey Devils team, which is clearly significant moment in the history of the franchise
 * Is only being used on this page... I can understand lack of justification for the main NJ Devils page to a certain extent (although I think fair use paranoia runs rampant on this site and hurts us more than it helps us)

The point is that this image shouldn't be deleted; it's got good fair use rationale now and isn't orphaned. Anthony Hit me up... 12:16, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - Per Anthony.  Bsroiaadn Talk 20:22, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - Can 800x654 really be considered low resolution? I'd say somewhere around half to two-thirds of that size.  Current resolution is not unacceptable for wallpapers, should someone really want that. --Pekaje 21:01, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Reply - I've just halfed the size of the image.  Bsroiaadn Talk 22:18, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - Better. Of course, it might make sense now to crop out the caption (which is also suggested by the image use policy), and copy the text into the image description page.  This also makes translation easier, should it ever be needed.  What do you think? --Pekaje 04:48, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'd hardly call this a "historic" photo. Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima is historic. This image does not particularly help the reader understand the article any better, thus making it a violation of NFCC #8.  howcheng  {chat} 17:41, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - "Historic" is relative to the subject. In this particular instance, the 1982-83 Devils team was the first ever to play in New Jersey, signifying the rebirth of the franchise.  Considering the move to NJ was chosen as one of the top 25 moments of the team's last 25 years on their website, I find it hard to say the first team in NJ is not historic to Devils fans.  Of course it's not "historic" like Iwo Jima, that's beyond apples & oranges, that's like apples and pencils. Anthony Hit me up... 10:15, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * The photograph is taken in the past, but the photograph is not really a historic photograph, on this point I agree with Howcheng. - Ilse@ 09:58, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Equally originally copyright was claimed to have expired, but after requested detailed proof for this, tag was changed to fair use. There is still no information on copyright status. Picture is of low quality and it is difficult to ascertain whether this was part of the events at Nanking, or took place somewhere else.

 * KeepThis is the same problem we have with photographs of the holocaust, the photographer is often unknown for good reasons, I will try and find out more about these images, but in any case they are PD-China PD-japan or even PD anonymous since 70 years have passed in most cases. Bleh999
 * That may be the case, but we need better sourcing information. Image:NanjingMassacre.jpg goes to show that just because a random website says it's from Nanjing doesn't mean it really is. John Smith&#39;s 21:59, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Not really a good example because they were still victims of a Japanese attack, such images provide context to the viewers even if they are a related but not identical situation, and if you check the history of that image, someone had already corrected the caption to say it was from a 1941 air attack, but not in nanjing, so it wasn't misleading anyone. Anyway according to the Berne convention we can safely assume any image made available to the public older than 70 years ago can be assumed public domain, if you find any information on the images that contradicts their locale, you can change the caption, but they shouldn't be deleted because you think anonymous works aren't allowed here (they most certainly are, see how many old images lack the name of a photographer). Bleh999 23:17, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes it is. The image is being used in Nanking Massacre. If it's not an image of the event, it shouldn't belong there. If we have no idea where it's really from, then it's of no encyclopedic use.  howcheng  {chat} 23:57, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * It's not used in the article anymore but my point was that the caption was already corrected on June 7 by Hare-Yukai see it is unfair for John smith to claim because one image was used in the article and was originally tagged incorrectly, all should be deleted, this deletion request only targeting the Nanjing massacre article seems to be a case of revanchism, that's like some images showing poles or jews being shot during WW2, if it was found on some dead German soldier, or in some abandoned house after the war, we will never know the author of a certain photograph, but that should not preclude its use here. Bleh999 00:24, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey, don't start accusing anyone of anything, Bleh. I don't take kindly to allegations of anything like "revanchism". Do you even know what it means? I'm not Japanese if you had bothered to look at my profile.
 * There are lots of problems with the use of photographs in wikipedia. Unfortunately I don't have time going round finding them all. I did not say that because one image was incorrectly used it meant all of the others are. I said it was a good example of why one must be cautious and the fact a website says "Nanking massacre" does not mean it is automatically true. John Smith&#39;s 11:42, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. Image cannot be traced to a reliable source. One of the sources is UCSB, which as an academic institution could be considered reliable, but it's really just a student paper. In terms of the authenticity of the image, for controversial issues like the Nanking Massacre, it's important that we know we're actually depicting what we purport to. As an aside, the UCSB source has a slightly different version that doesn't look it was faked.  howcheng  {chat} 20:56, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps until further proofs are found, a note should be added to say that the picture might not have been taken in Nanjing, but similar events did happen there.

 * Comment I can not read the source page (which is Chinese) and so cannot assess this image fully.

DrKiernan 14:26, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

After much commentary and exhaustive investigation, I deem these images to be in the public domain as they were obviously taken on de facto Japanese territory more than 50 years ago. Since they are free images, they do not have to undergo the strenuous image criteria to which non-free images must adhere. I do not know whether these photographs show what they purport to show or not, but that is (thankfully) not a task I must determine in judging the suitability of these images. This judgment does not say whether the images are accurate, or whether they should be used in any given article. (That's a decision that should be made on article talk pages or an RFC.) But I am confident that these images are in the public domain, and as they are not orphans, I find no reason to delete. Kept. – Quadell (talk) (random) 20:21, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

 * I am the one that corrected the source on that image, only the image name is misleading, however if it is appropriately captioned, it is not a big deal, however if you want to delete it, we can re upload a higher res version from the NARA website. Bleh999 21:35, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Technical issues prevent us from renaming an image; to accomplish this goal, the image needs to be deleted and reuploaded.  howcheng  {chat} 21:47, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Then it certainly needs to be deleted - the current title is far too misleading. John Smith&#39;s 21:48, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Note that the photographer is still 'unknown' even if I changed the caption. It still an anonymous work. Bleh999 23:18, 28 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete - Nice work, Howcheng. Since it's been verified to be public domain, I've uploaded it to Commons and correctly named it - Image:ChongQingAirRaid.jpg.  Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 02:21, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

 * UE (unencyclopedic) - this is a fake image. This rank is not in use since 1919! and there has never been made an insignia, so the image is just one users imaginative creation of "One of conjectural Design for General of the Armies" as he write shimself. I'm in favour of speedy deletion, as the user is trying to push this completly fabricated image into articles about the US Army Ranks and Chinese Army Ranks articles. noclador 20:26, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Speedied under CSD G4. Next time you see this image again, just tag it with db-repost. Uploader has been warned to refrain from repeatedly uploading the image.  howcheng  {chat} 21:26, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Move to Commons Besides, uploader is not absent at all. I will give him a warning about this nomination. Garion96 (talk) 01:07, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep or Move to Commons - Not sure it would add very much to the street fair article really, but it is linked to user page. It definatly should not be deleted.--User:Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr) 01:19, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Move to Commons I originally uploaded the picture to illustrate the Lesbian article - however both of the pictures I added to the article were soon removed though the other one has subsequently been replaced. I believe the women in the picture to be representative of younger members of the "leather dyke" subculture and if this subculture is covered in a future article or perhaps in a section within the Lesbian or Leather subculture articles, the picture may again be useful.
