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

This is an official publicity photo that has been released into the public domain. It clearly qualifies for fair use in the article on the individual pictured. 172.203.52.60 21:34, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Really? The website claims:
 * Campaign Use: The Website is for the political use of individuals in connection with The Mike Easley Committee only and may not be used for any other purposes, including any other political, personal or commercial purposes.  Any improper and/or unauthorized uses of the Website will be investigated, and appropriate legal action will be taken, where necessary.

 * That text specifies "website", making no mention of specific content - it seems to be a legal statement to disuade hackers. The same photo is also found on these sites:, , , , , . If someone can replace this image with a similar free use picture, that would be fine - but at the moment it seems to fail the criterion for rfu.172.143.184.160 03:37, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Our fair use policy forbids using a non-free image if a free image could be created that could be used in its place. See criterion #1 and counter-example #8. In this case, it would be possible to create a free image; therefore this non-free image may not be used. Whether a free replacement image exists or not at this time is not relevant. – Quadell (talk) (random) 16:21, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
