 * 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.


 * 1.This image is being used to show a football player performing his job (coming close to getting a sack) for use in a non-commercial informational article commenting on his career. It's unlikely that a fan will be able to get a game photo of Olshansky tackling a quarterback - need a high quality action photo lens with high zoom, stable stand, and a premium vantage point.  This isn't your garden variety player head shot.
 * Plenty of fans have taken very nice sports photos. Get a good camera and good seats and you too can take them. -- B  04:11, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The only quality NFL photos of players are taken on the field, the average fan isn't allowed on the field to take photos. Most of the "very nice sports photos" you see of football players are taken by people paid to take those photos.
 * Most, but not all. The fact is, anyone could buy a nice camera, buy a ticket, go to a game, and get a photo of the guy in action.  We don't use promo photos of living people. -- B  13:03, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, fair enough, if you find a football action game photo taken by "anyone" who isn't paid to take that shot that is close enough to see the players face or at least read the name on the back I'll agree with you.
 * Well, this guy, for one, is an amateur photographer who takes a lot of photos at Tech games and everything he takes at most games is from the stands. This person on flickr has some close up shots of Alabama players.  Heck, I have a cheesy camera, but I've walked up to where players were stretching before the game and taken some close-up shots.  There are ways to get a nice photo - you just have to put effort into it.  We don't take random promo photos off the internet and use them. Period. -- B  17:20, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 2.There are better versions on the source/web site
 * 3.Lowest resolution possible
 * 4.Published on team website
 * 5.Picture shows Olshansky performing his role putting pressure on the quarterback which is informative to viewers of the article
 * 6.Picture details are below
