The result was to delete the image.

Replaceable
Ok, why not. I'll start the dialogue. User:NE2 claims that anyone could create a map of the highway and so it's replaceable. In general, I'd agree with him but I also see Image:NY 347 Hauppauge Spur Map(1967).JPG. Does anyone know what the Wikiproject is doing? The Maps task force doesn't seem clear to me. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 03:31, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The maps task force mostly helps people create maps from scratch, like Image:Oregon Route 10.svg. That would be a good place to go to request a replacement for this; I hadn't thought of that. --NE2 03:37, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, until I actually see somebody make one, the existing image should be kept as is. DanTD (talk) 13:31, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * As you've been told before, that's not what our fair use criteria say. --NE2 18:46, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, if tagging them for deletion makes them impossible to replace, the there's something wrong with the the current standards of fair-use criteria. I swear, you're as bad with images as TTN is with TV show episode articles. I suppose if somebody takes a picture of a road or railroad station, and you find another one on the web from the same angle, you tag their images for deletion too.

 * Dan, I put di-replaceable fair use disputed and now it will be left some other admin to review and make a decision on. The issue is whether someone else could make a map of the highway (which I think so) and so it seems replaceable to me.  Dan, we do not wait until someone else makes a free image.  The fact that it can be done violates the policy (other we'd have tons of non-free images of living people everywhere).  -- Ricky81682 (talk) 04:17, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
