If this image is to be considered replaceable, then I believe that over 90% of the images in Wikipedia are "replaceable". The reason that I believe this particular image is "not" replaceable is because it is the only promotional image made available to the public media and therefore, FD. Among the news releases in which this image has been used are the following:
 * 75 of the Wealhtest Hispanics in America

Since there are no known copyright violations and this is the only image of Mr. Unanue available and therefore "not" replaceable, I believe that there are no logical reasons for its removal or deletion. Tony the Marine 20:34, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

I have read User:Chowbok/Robth's RFU Explanation and I still am not convinced that the image of Mr. Unanue is replaceable. You show me an image of Mr. Unanue with which the current image can be replaced or the proof of the copyright violation and then I'll see the light. I ask, who gave who the authority in Wikipedia to determine which image is "replaceable" and which is not? Either an image has violated Wikipedias copyright policy and therefore, should be deleted or as in this case it has not. Tony the Marine 21:09, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * When a person is living, a free image can be requested. If the unfree image merely serves to demonstrate the likeness of a living person, it's virtually guaranteed to fail the 1st criterion. An administrator will come around to adjudicate in a few days. - Tragic Baboon (banana receptacle) 00:17, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
