Wikipedia:Files for deletion/Replaceable fair use/File:Whitfieldband.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.


 * Regarding Wikipedia's Non-free content criteria:
 * 1. I haven't found a comparable photo from another source.
 * 2. This photo isn't used for commercial purposes here or elsewhere, so using it won't interfere with anyone's commercial interests.
 * 3. The file is reduced from the original.
 * 4. This was on at least a couple sites when I copied it, one of which was the band's myspace page. ([]
 * 5. The content is appropriate for the article and is comparable to the content on other similar wikipedia entries.
 * 6. The file is posted in accordance with Wikipedia's media-specific policy.
 * 7. File is in use.
 * 8. The presence of photographs of a similar nature in wikipedia entries about other musical groups suggests that this photo is significant and helps the reader understand the topic.
 * 9. Photo is in accordance with restrictions on location.
 * 10. Image description page is in accordance with citation rules.


 * Finally, one of the band members suggested I use this photograph, but I didn't know what category that would make it. So, since it seemed to fit with the criteria for free use, I think it should stay.

 * The fact is that a comparable free image could be created. The fact that you haven't found one is not relevant here. Alternatively, you could try and have the band release this image (or a comparable one) under a free license. You seem to be in contact with them so this is likely doable.
