This image is actually the front cover of the German vinyl release. It was incorrectly labelled the front cover of the UK single, which actually lacks a picture sleeve. I made corrections, but I also uploaded a freer image, File:Pictures of Matchstick Men by Status Quo UK vinyl.jpg, to accurately depict one of the labels of the UK single, which would make the German picture sleeve replaceable (unless some others disagree). Also, the previous revision using this file page was actually one of compilation albums using the same name, replaced by Mistymountain546. Now that the UK label is uploaded and used as a lead image, the German front cover should be deleted. The picture sleeve does not further increase readers' understanding of the song; rather the song is already understood without this image. Also, no reliable sources discussing the image itself are found at the moment... unless I overlooked one. George Ho (talk) 05:39, 16 December 2017 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: delete. For the record, being fair use is not enough to host an image; it needs to satisfy the non-free use criteria, including the 8th one which is alluded to in the nomination. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 10:56, 24 December 2017 (UTC)

Nominating for deletion as this fails to qualify for Fair Use per my understanding of the policy. It's a low-quality image which lacks contextual significance and does not increase a readers understanding of the article - nor will its omission affect the article in any way. The uploader, as per their statement, also appears to lack an understanding of fair use laws.  Mar4d  ( talk ) 06:00, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Also going to note with respect to copyright vio that this and the two other dubious files nominated below were stolen off the internet.  Mar4d  ( talk ) 08:05, 16 December 2017 (UTC)


 * delete - Agree with that no purpose served. Just waste of space.  Störm   (talk)  06:19, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep no policy based reason provided. Only because it is taken from other website under a fair use it doesn't have to be deleted. Misrepresenting uploader's statement won't do anything. Orientls (talk) 10:46, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
 * The fact that it is stolen from the web would be a policy based reason for one.  Mar4d  ( talk ) 14:47, 18 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep. Fair Use logic obviously applies in this case. ——Chalk19 (talk) 09:53, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NFCC. Not seeing what a burnt tank looks like will inhibit none of the reader's understanding about what happened in the battle, including the information that tanks were destroyed. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 21:24, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete all images that fail to qualify under WP:COPYRIGHT should be treated equally.--NadirAli نادر علی (talk) 03:54, 24 December 2017 (UTC)

This image has a legal quagmire. The fair use rationale states that "The owner has given full written permission to use this photograph in Wikipedia.", yet it does not appear that it has gone through the correct processes for doing this as per WP:DCP. Therefore, there is no evidence to suggest that the author has given permission of its use. ! dave 14:07, 16 December 2017 (UTC)

Artwork fails per WP:NFCC and #8. The Platinum Edition artwork is not required to further enhance one's understanding of the work.  livelikemusic    talk!  14:40, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
