Wikipedia:Files for deletion/Replaceable fair use/File:Rated RKO vs. DX.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.

Irreplaceable
The only reason that this pic is irreplaceable is because WWE is the only one who has it, and the only source the picture can be gotten from.


 * As you note on the image page, this image is simply used for illustration. As such, any image of Rated RKO would suffice.  Additionally, the license permits it to be used for critical commentary on the t.v. show; not only have you not identified the t.v. show but by your own admission, the image is not being used for critical commentary but solely for illustration, in violation of the license.  --Yamla 14:02, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

The following is from the wikipedia File Upload wizard:

'''Some non-free images may be used under a claim of fair use. This is only acceptable for images that are not replaceable, meaning that no free alternative could reasonably be created. In general, fair use should be used when the image itself is significant to the article, not merely what it depicts. In other words, a screenshot from a movie is acceptable to use when talking about the movie itself - it is not acceptable to use it to talk about the actress who happens to be in the picture.'''

The sentence In other words, a screenshot from a movie is acceptable to use when talking about the movie itself is proof that I can use this picture. In the article, I describe the moment Rated RKO defeated DX. And, this is exactly it. This is the exact picture for that specific paragraph in the Legend Killer article. Just substitute the word "movie" with "tv show", which wikipedia clearly allows in the Fair rules section. And you got the answer to why this should stay. Lex94 15:25, 4 July 2007 (UTC)


 * No, sorry, you are mistaken. "it is not acceptable to use it to talk about the actress who happens to be in the picture."  Here, you are using a t.v. screenshot to talk about the actor (or, in this case, wrestler) who happens to be in the picture.  You yourself admitted there is no critical commentary here, the picture is only being used for illustration.  --Yamla 15:30, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

When you say critical commentary, what do you mean? Commentary in wrestling is play-by-play and stating what they are doing in the pic is play-by-play. And if you mean stating an opinion or a heavy observation in the image, wikipedia goes against it as it is an encyclopedia not a debate team. Debated belong in discussion pages.

 * Once again, read WP:FU. Not much point here, though, as you have already admitted this image is being used for illustration instead of critical commentary.  --Yamla 16:21, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
