Wikipedia:Files for deletion/Replaceable fair use/File:Trilok Gurtu.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.

I am not the original uploader of this image, but it is an image made freely available and specifically for downloading and reuse through the artist's official Web site, and there is no photographer or other potential additional copyright holder listed. There is no readily available free use image available, and I find it inappropriate for the image to be marked for deletion on the assumption such an image can somehow be magically produced. If so, find it, and substitute thereto, rather than simply marking an image for deletion on the assumption one should be available. Tvccs 05:14, 27 November 2006 (UTC)


 * 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) 18:02, 28 November 2006 (UTC)


 * And again, you take the position that if anyone is alive and MIGHT be able to be photographed by someone who MIGHT choose to make that picture available under GFDL, then no image can otherwise exist, even from a press kit, which was specifically permitted usage prior on Wikipedia - insane.

 * You don't seem to like our fair use policy very much. – Quadell (talk) (random) 17:48, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
