If the deletion is controversial, especially since my PRODding was contested and reverted, then I should cite past discussions like and  as consistency regarding deletion of image of perpetrators to justify deleting the one in the picture who committed the Dunblane school massacre in Scotland, and enforcement of WP:NFCC, especially the "contextual significance" criterion. Of course a few editors contested my proposal as their disagreements about whether NFCC is or isn't complied, but I've not seen the arguments as compelling enough to prove a consequence of the detriment, which is the purpose of NFCC#8. Like other images of perpetrators, this image is used in that massacre article without sufficient content for a stand-alone article. Learning about the person's appearance and censorship concerns as reasons to object the deletion are insufficient to prove why deleting the image harms the understanding of the article subject, which is not the perpetrator himself. Also, the perpetrator's visual appearance doesn't improve the understanding of the horrendous event itself but more likely makes a different objective, goal, or purpose that wouldn't suit the article well. WP:Offensive material should be helpful to those arguing about whether a specific offensive material, even when the photo itself doesn't look that "offensive" (to me anyways), has suitable encyclopedic use and shouldn't be deleted for doing such would harm readership and content, even when Wikipedia is not censored. Maybe after this discussion, I might have to take this ongoing issue to one of central venues. George Ho (talk) 01:28, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - this image would be fair use on this individual's biography, if he had one. Not here. John from Idegon (talk) 19:01, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

The file's copyright information asserts that this image was taken by Robie Macauley. It was uploaded by Cmacauley in 2010, who asserted authorship and granted a license. This user is not Robie Macauley; he died in 1995. This appears to be part of a wider copyright issue - see also Commons:Deletion requests/File:C. Cameron Macauley in the Navy.jpg and Commons:Deletion requests/File:Robie with Flannery 1947.jpg. There are still about 20 photos uploaded by this user in Wikipedia filespace, all of which should probably be considered possible copyright issues; I don't know how many uploads have been transferred to Commons.

 * I inherited these photos from the author. I uploaded them years ago and until now, no one has complained. If you want to delete them, go ahead. Cmacauley (talk) 02:23, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

Must be deleted since it is the poster of a dubbed film, and fails WP:NFCC. Kailash29792 (talk)  04:10, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
