Wikipedia:Files for deletion/Replaceable fair use/File:Patriarch Ignatius IV of Antioch.jpg


 * 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.

The template also directs me to explain my reasoning on the talk page, so I will summarize my argument here.
 * Closing administrator comment. As long as the subject is alive and can be photographed, I believe this fails WP:NFCC. — ξ xplicit  00:36, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

First, no free image of Ignatius IV exists that I have been able to locate within several hours of searching.

A fair use, non-free licensing was also accepted at another Wikipedia project, for what such arguments are worth.

Also, Ignatius IV is a major Christian leader, but takes second stage in the public limelight to the Ecumenical Patriarch, Bartholomew I. So while he occupies a position of importance, he very rarely enters a setting in which a photographer interested in releasing his or her work into the public domain would have an opportunity to take a picture of him. It is my contention that a public domain image of Ignatius IV does not exist and so, per the fair use policy, "a free replacement image can not be reasonably found or created". --Pstanton (talk) 08:52, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
