Wikipedia:Files for deletion/Replaceable fair use/File:Freeonedlover.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.

Fair use rationale
It is believed that the use of this image qualifies as fair use in the article Free (rapper) because:


 * The image is being used for no purpose other than to identify the subject of the article
 * The image resolution has been significantly decreased from the original, so copies made from it would be of inferior quality
 * The use of this image neither detracts from the rapper nor inhibits its salability in any way.

The issue is that she is still alive and a free image could be taken of here. As a free alternative can be created, this image fails WP:NFCC. - Peripitus (Talk) 07:24, 8 June 2009 (UTC)


 * However it doesn't fail the rest.


 * Respect for commercial opportunities. Non-free content is not used in a manner that is likely to replace the original market role of the original copyrighted media.
 * Minimal usage. Multiple items of non-free content are not used if one item can convey equivalent significant information. Minimal extent of use. An entire work is not used if a portion will suffice. Low- rather than high-resolution/fidelity/bit rate is used (especially where the original could be used for deliberate copyright infringement).  This rule also applies to the copy in the File: namespace.
 * Previous publication. Non-free content must have been published or publicly displayed outside Wikipedia.
 * Content. Non-free content meets general Wikipedia content standards and is encyclopedic.
 * Media-specific policy. The material meets Wikipedia's media-specific policy. For example, images must meet Image use policy.
 * One-article minimum. Non-free content is used in at least one article.
 * Significance. Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding.
 * Restrictions on location. Non-free content is allowed only in articles (not disambiguation pages), and only in article namespace, subject to exemptions. (To prevent an image category from displaying thumbnails, add __NOGALLERY__ to it; images are linked, not inlined, from talk pages when they are a topic of discussion.)
 * Image description page. The image or media description page contains the following: Identification of the source of the material, supplemented, where possible, with information about the artist, publisher and copyright holder; this is to help determine the material's potential market value. See: Citing sources. A copyright tag that indicates which Wikipedia policy provision is claimed to permit the use. For a list of image copyright tags, see Image copyright tags/Non-free content. The name of each article (a link to each article is also recommended) in which fair use is claimed for the item, and a separate, specific fair-use rationale for each use of the item, as explained at Non-free use rationale guideline. The rationale is presented in clear, plain language and is relevant to each use. Lovejonesfly (talk) 13:56, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
