 * keep:This picture is used under Fair Use under the George Stephanopoulos article.

My rational for disputing the replaceability of this picture, is that the article specifically talks about his job as ABC chief washington correspondant and his role on "This Week". Well, where are you going to find a NON copyrighted photo of George doing "This Week"? ALL photos of it are going to be copyrighted, because all images of the broadcast are copyrighted. Therefore, this one HAS to be acceptable under fair use, as there's going to be no way to find another image of him doing the show that's not copyrighted. &rArr;   SWAT Jester    Ready    Aim    Fire!  00:18, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * It doesn't seem to me like the point of the image in the article is to display him on This Week. It's just to show him. I fail to see why it's so special to show him with a "This Week" logo in the background anyway, or why that really brings more to the article than just a picture of him and an article saying he hosts "This Week". (It's "rationale", by the way.) &mdash; Chowbok  ☠  01:01, 6 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I agree that any image of this person would illustrate the article just as well. – Quadell (talk) (random) 17:12, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep The primary notability of the man currently is his talk show. Therefore, an image that conveys the same information cannot be created or found, and is irreplacable except with another fair use image. User:Sebbeng 19:19, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * ADDENDUM: I've revised the thumbnail tag and article to convey that the image is meant to depict the subject on his TV show. User:Sebbeng 19:21, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Chowbok: the point of the image in the article is precisely to display him. His role on This Week is one of the large parts of the articles: how he went from press secretary and communications director, to news correspondent. His having played both roles is the reason he is one of the most important men in washington media. That's why it brings something special to the article. &rArr;   SWAT Jester    Ready    Aim    Fire!  00:21, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * If the point of the image is to display him, then it can be done with a free image. I understand that being on This Week is an important part of his career, but I don't understand why that needs to be conveyed with an image. Isn't that what the article is for? &mdash; Chowbok  ☠  02:22, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

The point of the image is not to display him, the point of the image is to display him in the capacity of his job, which as I mention cannot be done with a free image. That is something the article cannot portray: the picture supports the text of the article, and without it, the article is significantly diminished. &rArr;   SWAT Jester    Ready    Aim    Fire!  06:21, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I just looked at the article, and the image is very clearly being used solely to illustrate the man, not the job. As such, it is highly inappropriate and should clearly be deleted!  Xtifr tälk 23:06, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
