 * 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.

From the standing point of Wikipedia's first criterion for non-free use content this image may, at first, seem to fail this level of burden. However I would like my fellow editors to consider this point. Ms. Williams' career is almost solely based in Japan. As such English speaking editors like myself and many of you have little resources, excepting of course if you fly to Japan and smuggle a camera into a concert, to obtain a free use image. Japanese speaking editors and editors of other languages living in Japan also would have trouble smuggling in cameras to take an acceptable quality free use picture of Ms. Williams. I believe that there are no free use images easily accessible (Having done a thorough search of the Internet) and have come to the conclusion that while it is theoretically possible to create a free use image that would be of acceptable quality it is highly improbable to do so without being a friend of Ms. Williams or a close acquaintance thereof. I present this defense to my fellow editors to be decided by consensus.
 * Sorry but that's entirely unconvincing. I don't quite see why Japanese editors would be at any sort of disadvantage to take such pictures. There are plenty of occasions where such free images could be obtained. Pascal.Tesson 14:55, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
