It is possible that other free alternatives exist; uploaded image is not the subject of the article in which it appears. Brianga (talk) 00:45, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * This is patently false. The dude is dead and he is the subject of the article. Unless someone is going to snap a pic of his rotting corpse, a free alternative is not in the cards. The photo is of the person in the article, unless you have done original research that shows it is not. Yes, it is theoretically possible that a free alternative exists for every image used in Wikipedia under fair use, but I don't have a crystal ball to tell me which subjects of articles are going to turn up in my holiday snaps. Please do the minimal due diligence, before you nominate, and don't be deceptive in your nominations. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 00:49, 2 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Use of this image is purely decorative in nature and does not qualify for "fair use". A "fair use" use of the image would be made to discuss the image itself -- like what you would find on a significant image by a famous photographer, not merely to "illustrate the subject".
 * The no alternative image can be procured is blatantly wrong. One can procure a Free alternative by
 * requesting a Free image from the family, friends or colleagues
 * drawing a portrait and putting it under a Free licence.
 * The clauses apply, very obviously, to everybody. Dead or alive.
 * The "crystal ball" comment is quite telling: if you do not have one, how can you state that no free image exists? The strong statement is not to say that a free image may exist, but that none does. For that, you need to be certain. In his own words, the uploader has nothing to back his claims, which are very strong, very improbable, and attempt to justify a probably illegal act.
 * Obviously the uploader is just saying anything to fill in the "fair use" form. These fields are not simply lame excuses to get a free jocker to use about anything, you know; they have to be true. Rama (talk) 07:47, 2 August 2008 (UTC)


 * It appears to me that the theoretical possibility of someone drawing the subject from memory, or someone donating the rights to a photo exist for EVERY image under fair use in Wikipedia, why has this one been deleted? Couldn't anyone draw a stick figure for every DVD cover? --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 08:17, 2 August 2008 (UTC)


 * All images of the sort should be removed. There is nothing particular about your image. I and others have removed many images of the sort and will continue to do so.
 * Wikipedia globally works as a vast juxtaposition of local initiatives. Just as you do not need to write millions of article, you do not need to procure millions of images.
 * DVD covers are, precisely, a case where it is the image itself that is discussed. Rama (talk) 08:23, 2 August 2008 (UTC)


 * OK, can you show me where the imagery on the poster for The Dark Knight (film) and Hellboy II: The Golden Army are discussed in the article? Would you dare delete either image? --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 08:59, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

This image uses a copyright expired tag which states 15 years of copyright protection, however, this photo is not 15 years old. Needs to be replaced with a FREE image, which has now been done. Россавиа Диалог 08:20, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

The uploader claims this is their photo, however, it looks like a low quality scan from a book or website, and uploader needs to show some type of evidence they took this photo. Россавиа Диалог 09:26, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Lack of source, given user's upload history, trying to AGF that they're able to license picture as such, but dont think it's valid. Q T C 12:21, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

ImageShack really isn't a valid source as there is no way to determine what the ultimate source was Q  T C 13:25, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Wrong place. This is for possibly unfree images,not surely unfree images with disputed sources. XxJoshuaxX (talk) 15:41, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
