Deletion
Seems a bit premature, I spent time creating this shot. Seems more representative than the Q photo. - Diceman 13:25, 30 November 2006 (UTC)


 * It is more representative, and it's a good photo. Unfortunately, since the actor is still alive, it should be possible for someone to photograph him. 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) 21:10, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

"The result of the debate was to Delete the image." It was? You're pretty keen to get rid of all these images. What if no-one has public domain alternatives, for an indefinite period? I think ultimately you're decreasing the quality of wikipedia. - Diceman 04:47, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
