 * 4) The image has been published.

 * Your first point is that no free equivalent is known to exist. That's true. But FUC#1 requires no alternative exist or could be created. That's the reason this image fails our criteria, even though everything you've said above is true. – Quadell (talk) (random) 14:21, 4 December 2006 (UTC)


 * And as I have repeatedly stated, until and unless a quality free image is located, Fair Use images should be left in place, and I believe that meets the "reasonable" qualification indicated under FUC. You of course disagree, but the thousands of people's work as contributors to Wikipedia you seek to wipe out, merely because someone is living and a free image might be available at some point, would radically disagree with your interpretation of Wikipedia policy and your "reasonableness".  The deletion position is one argued by yourself and few self-appointed "purists", and the vast majority of Wikipedians that have uploaded proper fair use images of living persons would disagree.  I have spent dozens and dozens of hours finding and loading decent images to Wikipedia, and have done nothing but try and improve content here, not destroy it without replacement content of equivalent quality.  And it's obvious from page history examinations that, those that disagree with you and the others that share your viewpoint, are likely to come under wholesale attack, as has been the case with my images.
