Dispute deletion request
If someone has a free image that has been reasonably found that adequately provides the same information as this image, then by all means replace it. However, if there is no such image "in hand" or available then this image should not be deleted. I have seen no evidence that there is such a free image available, nor am I aware of any such image. And I am not going to spend time searching the internet because of someone else's claim. Steve Quinn (talk) 03:33, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I believe the criteria for non-free images is that there is little to no chance of another free image existing; not that said image has not been found and no one wants to go find it. Happy editting.--v/r - TP 03:35, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Your comment in the editing history is inappropriate (insulting). I advise you to knock that sort of thing off. And it is not my job to prove there is no free image available. Maybe it is your job to prove there is a free image available. I don't really care if you like my rationale or not. And I don't need you to interpret what my rationale is.

 * Sorry for my rationale, I felt I was only summarizing what I had already said here. Wikipedia criteria for unacceptable non free image use is here WP:NFC.  The first bullet states that if a person is still alive, a picture can be taken of them and so we cannot use non-free images (to simplify it).  You can find the acceptable use policy here WP:NFCI.  Your image doesn't fall under the acceptable use of non free images.  Happy Editting--v/r - TP 15:21, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
