Wikipedia:Files for deletion/Replaceable fair use/File:Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock.jpg


 * 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.

Not replaceable. The Rock is no longer wrestling; his body does not have the same shape that it had during the time at which this photo was taken. It also is irreplaceable as it is a symbolic photo.(from rationale on image page)
 * Delete: This is a picture of a person used solely to illustrate the appearance of that person on his article. This person is still alive and it is reasonable for a free picture of this person to be taken in the future or to already exist. I have never seen difficulty of finding a picture be sufficient to justify a fair use claim for a living person. There is already a free image of this person on the article page. This image cannot be shown as necessary for critical commentary on the person. --NrDg 17:19, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

I uploaded this photo. I do not think that this has anything to do with the status of the photo; I think it is a bias from this user.

I have uploaded two pictures of DJ and a photo of Jason Lewis, all of which this person has contested to. None of these pictures are in any way shape or form harmful to the policy, only a corrupt user trying to plague the system with his/her/its insane ramblings about "the photo can be replaced". I do not waste time uploading bullshit to be discovered on the internet. To think that someone with probably a brain the size of a peanut wants my photos to be deleted is unacceptable.


 * Do Not delete This is a good photo of the rock. just because some idiotic user wants this pic deleted doesn't make the deletion request valid. I uploaded this photo of Dwayne Johnson so that the world could see how The Rock's early stardom impacted him. There are not many photos of him on a Simoan statue and for someone who is not famous or even talented to decide that this picture is incoherent, that is offensive.

If this or any of the other photos are deleted, then me and about 200 of my other friends, all certified users, will boycott this website and cause this site to suffer severely. We will also tell our branched friends that we are making a movement against unfair and even corrupt users. I do not fuck with their shitty edits; I expect the same in return. Respect.

Delete - infringes on copyright, and free use alternatives for this person can be found, therefore these images are easily replaceable. Bmg 916 Speak 20:44, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Blatant violation of WP:IUP, fair-use image used to depict a living person. --Yamla 21:34, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
