The backcover fails WP:NFCC. Only the front cover should be used. Stefan2 (talk) 14:42, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm not so sure that I agree with User:Stefan2's reading of WP:NFCC. I don't see it as necessarily forbidding wraparound front-back cover images. But this is not worth an exercise wiki-lawyering. I have updated the image with a cropped version that shows only the front cover. -- WikiPedant (talk) 03:33, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: CLosing and tagging the file for reduction. Long standing practice here is that non-free images are automatically reduced to thumbnail size of approx 100k pixels and I have tagged the image as such. The images are stored in sufficient resolution to show in articles, not so that they can be viewed as separate items - Peripitus (Talk) 21:39, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Violation of WP:NFCC: the purpose of the image is to use it in an article, but the article only uses 350x219 pixels. The remaining pixels are unnecessary. Stefan2 (talk) 21:19, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose deletion, which seems misunderstood to me. People can click on the image to see the whole image. An image's usefulness to the reader isn't just the thumbnail in the article, which is just that - an unintelligibly small thumbnail which exist for the user to click on to see the actual image. Also, the fair-use criteria such as stopping a sale of the work (the game) are obviously non-problematic, since nobody ever didn't buy a video game because the screenshot was good enough. Thue (talk) 04:05, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
 * WP:NFCC only allows hosting images for the purpose of using them in an article. The purpose you mention above is a different purpose for which WP:NFCC doesn't apply, so that purpose is irrelevant. --Stefan2 (talk) 22:59, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose deletion, for the reasons given by User:Thue. WP:NFCC does not state or imply that non-free images files should never be bigger than the thumbnail size used in an article. As User:Thue notes, thumbnails are intended to be clickable. -- WikiPedant (talk) 20:10, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Per WP:NFCC, non-free files should be as small as possible. If readers of the article can do with a much smaller file, then why would readers of the file information page require a much larger file? --Stefan2 (talk) 22:59, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Stefan, you are a self-appointed policeman making up ad hoc rules. WP:NFCC does not contain the expressions "can do with" or "as small as possible". There is no objective measure for either of these supposed criteria. People click on thumbnails to get a clearer view of something that they could not see to their satisfaction. It happens all the time -- In Windows Explorer, in Photoshop, and in Wikipedia. It is my considered opinion that your interpretations of WP:NFCC are overly zealous. -- WikiPedant (talk) 00:24, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
