Wikipedia:Files for deletion/Replaceable fair use/File:Peter wolfe.gif


 * 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.

First of all I do not even know if this photo is copyright protected or not. I guess it may be. Wolfe uploaded it to his MySpace profile where it can be viewed and downloaded by all Myspace members. He didn't add any copyright information. Basically I think it might be possible to find a different photo of Wolfe. However, this photo was taken in 1994, at the beginning of Wolfe's career as musician and there's no way to get a free image that illustrates this point in Wolfe's career. Is that enough to meet Wikipedia's first non-free content criteria? Twoshirou 16:01, 29 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Legaly all new creative works (this include photos) are copyrighted by default, so if there is no information to the opposite we must asume full copyright protection. It may not be possible to get a free photo of him from this point in his career, but that only become and issue if you could demonstrate that the article need a photo of him from that point in his career to be properly understood. As it stands the photo is only rely used to show what he looks like, and any photo of him could do that. Since he's alive and active it also seems possible that someone could take a photo of him during a public apperance or something like that and upload here under a free license. So I'm afraid I agree with the nominator that this imade is likely replacable per Wikipedia's non-free criteria. --Sherool (talk) 09:17, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
