 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of a fair use image as a replaceable image. Please do not modify it. 

The result was to delete the image.

The photograph was being used in the infobox to identify the band in question, for that purpose it can be considered replaceable. The band members make promotional appearances and arrangements could be made to create a free-license photograph of their performances. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 02:45, 11 January 2008 (UTC) This event took place in Japan, and it is impractical to ask English Wikipedians, who are most likely to be residing in other parts of the world, to personally take a picture of this event that had already took place. Furthermore, there is ABSOLUTELY NO FREE IMAGE on the internet for this event. All the images that could be found are copyrighted to the news agencies.--K kc chan (talk) 11:17, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think any audiences are allowed to take any photos during the performances anyways. Photos that can be found are copyrighted as said above, but those are from the rehearsals that are held from few days before the day of the event. Also, no one can view the rehearsals unless you are related to the news agencies. So it is impossible for anyone to personally take the photos. Therefore, the only photos that can be found or taken are the screenshots. --Staka 20:08, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
