  • The source and copyright information for the image are not verifiable. In addition, it does not contribute to the article in a way words cannot. Videmus Omnia 13:53, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Uh. The husband of the second actor from the bottom sent it to me. I don't why I have to prove that. (The e-mail from earlier in the decade is long gone.) I will happily re-scan the image from the press kit for the Cats World Tour. The photographer is not mentioned.
    • When it comes to things like costumes, make-up, and the general interpretation of the show, words are words, but how many people know what a yak-hair wig looks like? How many people know what a unitard looks like? The musical is also not one that is driven by famous persons in the lead roles (with the one usual exception). The anonymous members of the Cats chorus are more representative of the persons usually in the show.
    • Particular tour of the show disbanded in 2004, I think. So we're not able to get pictures. If this one doesn't work, I have ~411MB of scanned images and over 100 brochures and press items that I can scan others from. Unfortunately, I do not have any decent images that are GFDL compatible. I lost all the photos I had taken of actors in the show to Katrina. See http://picasaweb.google.com/Carbucketty --Kunzite 05:22, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted. The actor's husband may have sent it to you, but there's no reason to believe he holds the copyright to the picture. It seems we should be able to find a free alternative. howcheng {chat} 16:27, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Non-free image currently used to illustrate the article of Lucy Liu, a living person, which already has a free image to show what this person looks like. Videmus Omnia 14:01, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Unnecessary comment - The free image being used is so bad that I'm mot sure that it really isn't a picture of Yoko Ono. -Nv8200p talk 03:00, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I've provided fair use rationale. The article Lucy Liu specifically discusses her role in Charlie's Angels (film), and the image has been inserted to that specific section, such that it is not simply used to illustrate what the actress looks like, but to illustrate her role in that movie. The image has also been inserted into Charlie's Angels (film) itself, in a section that discusses how the actresses trained with a kungfu master and performed martial arts instead of using guns. The image in question illustrates all three actresses in kungfu stances. Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 15:59, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The use of this image in either article does not significantly contribute to the reader's understanding. The text about training with a kung fu master and Barrymore's dislike of guns is perfectly understandable without this frame. howcheng {chat} 21:35, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - the fair use rationale currently given is pretty inadequate - "Image was uploaded to better illustrate commentary about the movie Charlie's Angels as such commentary may appear on various articles." - that doesn't come anywhere close to addressing the 10 criteria of WP:NFCC. The rationale doesn't even mention which specific articles fair use is claimed for. Videmus Omnia 23:20, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - if the rationale was improved, it seems to me that this image could pass all our NFCC in both articles. It doesn't seem to be used to illustrate the actress, it's non-replaceable in it's limited use as a screenshot, and it seems to pass NFCC#8 as well. – Quadell (talk) (random) 14:53, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I've further improved upon the fair use rationale. Most importantly, I want to point out that there is really no free alternatives of things like album covers and screenshots. Take a look at articles like Aerosmith and Mariah Carey for example. Most of the images in those two articles are under fair use, and they arguably they don't convey anything that the text of the article does not provide for the understanding of the readers. Should they be tagged for deletion? Also take a look at the images in basically all the articles in Category:Japanese porn stars. But I was not under the assumption that we here at WP are only striving to provide the bare minimum for the readers' understanding. Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 04:55, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • When it comes to free content, we want to provide as much information as possible. But for non-free content, our policy is to use as little content as possible to provide the necessary information. See WP:NFCC #3. – Quadell (talk) (random) 18:00, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The result is keep. I believe this image is the most iconic from Charlie's Angels and is relevant to both articles it is currently used in. It helps the reader connect which Charlie's Angels is being discussed and which film was a significant milestone in Liu's career. There is no policy that states that an article with a free image cannot also have a fair use image. -Nv8200p talk 03:50, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Not enough verifiable source info to backup the claim that this image was released as promo material. Without knowing when/where/why was this image released, we can't be sure our use doesn't replace the original market role for the image. Abu badali (talk) 14:44, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep Ridiculous. This should be speedy kept by an admin, because it's clearly a personal attack disguised as a deletion attempt. Abu, if you'd taken any amount of time other than simply looking up which of my images you haven't deleted yet, you'd see a couple of things. First off, Mr. Kirby is dead. So as for getting a new free/libre photo of him, not going to happen. Second off, what kind of "proof" are you looking for? What is your standard of "verifiable source information?" Maybe it's the use of this image on other media sites, such as here and here and here? All of which say the same thing as I said on the upload: "In this undated photo provided by CBS, Bruno Kirby appears in character as attorney Barry Scheck from the 2000 television." If you have sourcing problems with that, I really can't help you. Jenolen speak it! 17:44, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Other websites are content to republish images even if they don't know the source. Since we're a free content encyclopedia, we hold ourselves to a higher standard. – Quadell (talk) (random) 19:12, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Untrue, in this case. The Seattle Times and CTV are NOT random websites that are "content to republish images even if they don't know the source." They never would. In addition to my assertation that this is a publicity photo distributed by CBS, we have one regional and one national media source also asserting that this is a publicity photo distributed by CBS. I have no idea what further standard of "proof" Abu is looking for... but I do have no doubt that I could never meet it. This image should be speedily kept. Jenolen speak it! 19:16, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
We need to be sure that this image was intended to be used by anyone for media purposes. CBS may have had given permission specifically for some of its partners to use this image, or it may request a written permission in order for a media member to use the image.
As a general rule, we're not automatically welcome to redistribute images we download from websites, even though the websites themselves may be allowed to distribute the images. --Abu badali (talk) 19:40, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
We need to be sure that this image was intended to be used by anyone for media purposes. And, other than its use on a variety of other reputable media sites, what would you consider appropriate "proof" that it was "intended to be used by anyone for media purposes"? Seriously .. what level of proof are you looking for? I've told you it's a publicity photo, you challenge that. I've shown you links to other reputable media sites - not "partners" of CBS, whatever that means - that have used the image, that's not good enough. At what point will you be satisfied? And at what point will some other editor or admin step in and tell you "enough is enough"? This is clearly and indisputably - except by you - a publicity photo distributed by CBS. What does it take to prove to you that the truth is the truth? This is quickly becoming a ridiculous cycle of policy-wonking to the extreme. I don't know if you're just unhappy with what you're reading, but since all media sources of this image indicate it was released by CBS, I really quesetion whether or not we'll ever be able to prove, to YOUR satisfaction, that this image was distributed to the media. I would suggest that other editors and the closing admin should, at this point, make their own determination, and ignore Abu's continued detour from reality. Jenolen speak it! 22:45, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have a link to a CBS "press area" on their web site? Do you have a physical/electronic copy of any such press kit or know someone who does? Do you have any proof that the other reputable media sites didn't PAY CBS for the use of their content? You have presented circumstantial evidence that these are publicity photos, but no direct evidence. You are simply making an assumption. howcheng {chat} 22:57, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have any proof that the other reputable media sites didn't PAY CBS for the use of their content? Aside from this being so contrary to industry standards, it's very difficult to prove a negative. But hey, as long as that's the standard of logic being applied, I certainly understand what's going on here... There's no real interested in determining whether or not this image was released by CBS for the media. This is another example of a interesting loophole in Wikipedia policy - where we know the copyright holder but, strangely, don't have a clear way of identifying the "source." Usually, the "source" is identified to help in figuring out who the copyright holder is, but there's a new round of deletions going on - where identification of the copyright holder has become, somehow, secondary to a very difficult to "prove" "sourcing" requirement. Fine, delete this; I don't care that much. Anyone who Googles Bruno Kirby will see plenty of sites like this one from that notorious copyright violator and CBS co-conspirator NPR. This image is widely, widely available, and if the circumstantial evidence - along with its use at not one, not two, but now three major, indepedendent media sites isn't convincing enough for you that the photo was released to the media, then there's really no point in further debate. Jenolen speak it! 23:16, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Fine, I will rephrase the question: Do you have any proof that the other reputable media sites are able to use the image for free? howcheng {chat} 00:16, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
All I can tell you is there are now at least three independent sources, major media outlets, all of whom credit the image to CBS. Media outlets, such as NPR and the Seattle Times, don't pay for photos like this. They simply don't... that's all there is to it. Abu nominated this one from deep inside my contribution log, for no good reason -- there's simply an attempt going on here to find a reason to make the deletion work, and it's ridiculous. I'll reserve the rest of my comments for Abu's arbitration proceedings, but there's simply no good reason, under current Wikipedia policy, to delete this image. Jenolen speak it! 00:37, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Even if we're to take you expertise on Seattle Times's image use policies, feeing the image use is not the only alternative to indiscriminately releasing the image to be used by anyone on the media there exists more valid scenarios than the two scenarios you imply: (1) CBS allows anyone to use the image for media purposes. And (2) Everyone wanting to use this photo have to pay for this right. CBS may, for instance, allow the image to be used by anyone with a (freely acquirable) written permission. CBS could have any other kind of deal with the newspaper, not necessarily involving money.
The point is, we can't assume we're allowed to use some image just because we know a lot of websites that seem to be allowed to use this image. --Abu badali (talk) 00:48, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I mean no disrespect by this, but I'm totally puzzled as to what is meant by feeing the image use is not the only alternative to indiscriminately releasing the image to be used by anyone on the media. Anyone else want to take a shot at translating this concern in to something a bit more understandable? Jenolen speak it! 01:21, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No offense taken. English, as you may have noticed, is not my first language. I've tried to clarify my comment above. I hope it's better now. --Abu badali (talk) 02:21, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
From Wikipedia:No personal attacks: "Comment on content, not on the contributor.". --Abu badali (talk) 18:12, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You think this was a personal attack? Please, you think too highly of yourself... And feel free to comment on the content, yourself. Of course you have no comment on the content, because again, you're indisputably wrong - both when it comes to targeting my contributions, and this image in particular. But if we're sending out messages from Wikipedia policies, guidelines, and essays to each other, let me remind you of this one: Honestly examine your motivations. Are you here to contribute and make the project good? Or is your goal really to find fault, get your views across, or be the one in control? Perhaps secretly inside you even enjoy the thrill of a little confrontation. This may not make you a bad person, but to everyone who is busily trying to build something great, you become an impediment. People get frustrated, rancor ensues, the atmosphere changes, and the whole project suffers. Are you here to give, or to take? Jenolen speak it! 18:23, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Jenolen, please be civil. There are plenty of places where people are happy to discuss Abu's alleged personality flaws, but such discussion is not welcome here. – Quadell (talk) (random) 19:08, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Behind all the vitriol, this debate seems to boil down to just a few questions: Can we use images that are obviously copyrighted CBS, if we don't have a clear source? Does it help that respectable media outlets have reprinted the image (calling it an "undated photograph")? What is the best way to interpret criteria #2: that the uploader must show through the nature of the image's source that the image doesn't compete, or that the uploader must have no indication that the image competes? – Quadell (talk) (random) 20:00, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    In the general case, we can never say that our use doesn't competes with the copyright holder when we don't know how the copyright holder uses the image (no mater how good we can guess the copyright holder's behavior).
    Also, the foundation usually takes the most conservative position in relation to copyright. We should never make assumptions about source and/or purpose of the work.
    And as a last point, considering the backlog of unfree images to be revised, we have no interest in allowing unfree images to be used until someone gives undeniable proof that they are infringing. It is, and should always be, the uploader's duty to properly source every claim that is made in the rationale for using the image. --Abu badali (talk) 20:14, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We should never make assumptions about source and/or purpose of the work -- And in this case, fortunately, we don't have to. Four separate sources have now told us the copyright holder and source of the image is CBS, and three of those users are media outlets with no connection to CBS. The way this image is being used makes it clear that this was a promotional image, distributed by CBS, and its use on Wikipedia, at lower resolution and within the confines of WP:NFCC is entirely appropriate. Jenolen speak it! 17:37, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • The result was delete. I don't think there is any doubt that the image was provided by CBS to the media outlets referenced, however, we do not know the circumstances surrounding the conditions on which the image was provided. It could be part of a press kit or could be an exclusive image these media outlets pay to get rights to. Also, there is no claim the uploader got the image from a press kit, which means the image was possibly copied from another website with possible violation of that website's terms and conditions of use. -Nv8200p talk 03:46, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • This non-free Associated Press photo is not historic, nor is it necessary for understanding the article Doug Flutie, in that it does not increase the reader's understanding of the subject in a way that words alone cannot. This image is a clear violation of WP:NFCC items 2 and 8. Note: Originally nominated for deletion on Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion/2007 April 17 and deleted by me as a result of that discussion. Restored today by User:Youngamerican claiming no consensus in original discussion. howcheng {chat} 17:54, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I think that you are painfully wrong about #8, as it is indeed an important historical event in the NFL AND the career of Flutie, but you are indeed correct about #2. I drop all objections to deletion. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 18:02, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep "Not historic" being a relative term, of course. It's not "Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima" historic, but within the history of American professional football, it certainly was. As stated on the page the image is being used on: In the Patriots' regular-season finale against the Miami Dolphins on January 1, 2006, Flutie successfully drop kicked a football for an extra point, something that had not been done in a regular-season NFL game since 1941. The ball went straight through the uprights for the extra point. The drop kick got a lot of media coverage at the time, and so yes, on the scale of importance, sure, it's only a game. But it was apparently important enough to be prominently featured in our own article on the subject... Jenolen speak it! 18:03, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It's part of the fair use equation, but not the entirety of it. For this image, User:Quadell asserts that the limited use of this copyrighted image in Wikipedia articles directly pertaining to it is a fair use of the image, for the following reasons:
  1. It depicts a non-repeatable, historic event.
  2. No free-license alternatives are available that convey the same information.
  3. The image is no larger, and of no higher quality, than required for its use in articles.
  4. It is used in Wikipedia only for educational purposes and is not used for profit.
  5. Its use on Wikipedia does not compete with the copyright holder.
  6. Its use on Wikipedia is not expected to decrease the value of the copyright to its holder.
That's more than good enough for me, especially when it comes to #2. If User:Quadell believes something has changed, and he/she no longer believes that, he/she should also drop a note here. Jenolen speak it! 18:15, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Item #5 of the rationale above is incorrect. The copyright holder makes a living out of licensing images like this for a fee. Our use of this image is exactly the kind of use that Associated Press's or one of it's clients would be doing. --Abu badali (talk) 18:22, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You mean, YOU believe Item #5 of the rationle is incorrect. Which is fine, but not emperical. Perhaps you should more thoroughly examine all of User:Quadell's contributions? He is obviously a free content-flouting scaliwag who cannot be trusted... Jenolen speak it! 18:29, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
FWIW, Quadell deleted the photo a while back and I was the one that first raised a stink and the notion that the image was fair use, and I've since converted. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 18:44, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Personally, I think a photo of this really doesn't help the reader understand the article, because I can't really conceptualize what a drop kick might look like, or see the surprise of the opposing team or whatever. A video of the drop kick, however, would be perfect. howcheng {chat} 18:27, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree about the photo, but I do agree that a video would rock. That being said, I still think it fails #2. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 18:44, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • What a mess. Four months ago I deemed this image to pass our first non-free content criterion because it shows an even which is obviously important, discussed in the article, and non-repeatable. At the time there were tens of thousands of obviously replaceable non-free images all over the wiki, and I wanted to focus on those more clear violations. I added the rationale using a template. On reflection, I doubt that this images passes our second criterion. We have to be extremely careful when using AP images, since they really do make their living producing and marketing such images, and they could make a compelling case in court that Wikipedia is competing with them directly. I can imagine a few, limited situations where using an AP photograph was justified -- but this is not it. As important as the event may be, the image does not obviously and unambiguously show the specific event (all a viewer can tell without context is that some guy in a helmet is drop-kicking a football), and the image does not show information that text alone would be insufficient to convey. Four months ago, we had enough blatant violations that a more minor violation like this could slide by; it's a testament to Wikipedia's steady improvement that we are now ready to tackle less obvious cases like this one. – Quadell (talk) (random) 19:04, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Absolutely not - news media photos are unacceptable. The fastest way for us to get into copyright trouble is to use news media photos without permission. There is no fair use defense here - it is blatant copyright infringement. --BigDT 22:56, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Unnecessary unfree poster doesn't increases the readers comprehension of the article (I tried to remove it but it always come back). Abu badali (talk) 19:23, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This is purely an opinion of the person deleting as this same comment can apply to any page. There is no way you can show what Chinese goth looks like without an image. Benjwong 19:52, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
What Chinese goth looks like is not discussed in the article. But if it was, a free image should be used to illustrate that. --Abu badali (talk) 19:59, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The image caption already said this is the first band with goth rock image in the mainland. The picture is already showing the readers what it looks like. Must the exact wording be "This is what Chinese goth image looks like?" About replacing with free image, see comments below from the CuiJianAlbum.jpg. Benjwong 20:13, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Unfree image of an album cover being used to decorate a piece of text (weasel words apart) that mentions the person depicted on the cover. The image doesn't seems to add any noteworthy information that isn't already conveyed with text. Abu badali (talk) 19:26, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I am demanding ALL Non-free albums covers released after 1949 from China be usable as an exceptional rationale, since the communist party is already aggressively blocking wikipedia. See Great Firewall of China article. Regular users cannot just upload whatever they want as they don't have that option. The only thing left is album covers and posters. Benjwong 19:32, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but China's blocking policies have nothing to do with copyright laws. howcheng {chat} 20:25, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Question - If "critical commentary" can be added in an article about the album in question, per WP:Fair use#Images, can this, and other album covers remain on WP? Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 20:30, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It would be allowable alongside critical commentary in Cui Jian, but not in a general article about Chinese rock where the only purpose is to show a picture of Cui. howcheng {chat} 21:38, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Fine. I would've thought you were allowed a bit of leeway on your user page, and it is a ridiculously small image, but if that's not the case then delete it. I actually worked out just now why it was orphaned; someone vandalised my user page and replaced the image. It's back up now, although I realise that might be irrelevant.

    • I agree with the user above: It should not be removed. It is interesting to know where BG has been. I don't think it is to stigmatized Bill Gates because what "he is" is the result of where he's been.

    • Comment: I can't even see where the arrest is even mentioned in the article. Am I overlooking something? – Quadell (talk) (random) 18:04, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bill Gates was arrested for not having a drivers licence after running a stop sign or red light . His own admission . It would not be on file anymore because it was a nothing type crime. Keep the image. Shows he's human . I didn't know why he was arrested. Actually driving without a licence is not a 'nothing' type of crime in my country (UK). I think that if the image is to be kept then the reason for Mr Gates arrest should be explained. Given the broad grin, he clearly felt that it was a 'nothing' type of crime as well as the blogger above!

  • Delete. If the mugshot were free, there would be no problem, but because it's not, it needs to fulfill all ten of the NFCC, the biggest hurdle being #8 because there's no discussion about the image in the article, which doesn't even mention his being arrested. Even then, "Gates was arrested in New Mexico in 1977" doesn't need a mugshot to be understood. howcheng {chat} 22:17, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • If this image gets deleted it could be interpreted as an example of how much power and control microsoft (and specifically bill gates) has over what is and isn't available history and the control of content of prominent websites, for example, how is it that the bill gates wikipedia entry does not have an edit tab ! ?

    • What was once a throw-away publicity photo has added significance now. It shows a young Bill Gates at a time when Silicon Vally worked together. I think it should stay as a historical image. As a publicity photo it falls under fair use. Mytwocents 17:53, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • It is absolutely significant and historic. Unfortunately, that's not sufficient for us to use a non-free image. It has to pass all our non-free content criteria, and this fails WP:NFCC #8. – Quadell (talk) (random) 18:06, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Good to have one image per every few years in his life like this. By the way, many readers do not read the words and only look at the images, therefore if you make the article drab with few images, you remove value from the encylopedia. Jidanni 12:46, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Fails NFCC #8 in that the sentence, "Gates, Kapor, and Gibbons all worked for Apple" doesn't need an image to understand. Jidanni, I understand where you're coming from, but we can't just take the copyrighted work of others because it makes our encyclopedia look nice. howcheng {chat} 22:21, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • No opinion. El_C 01:05, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is an iconic photo of the Six-Day war. "The famous photo of Narkiss striding into the Old City through the Lions' Gate with Moshe Dayan and Yitzhak Rabin on June 7, 1967, is one of those that has memorialized this chapter."[1] The source, Ilan Brunner of the Israeli Government Press Office is well known. [2][3]. I do not know whether an Israeli government photo is in the public domain. It certainly would qualify for wikipedia's use per the "fair use" doctrine, as far as I understand it. I would be that a higher resolution version could be found. GabrielF 17:04, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • GabrielF is right: this is a very famous photo in Israeli history. The most famous Six Day War photo is Image:Soldiers Western Wall 1967.jpg, which has been written about a lot, but this one is important as well. I don't know how it was used though, so I am unsure about undeletion. nadav (talk) 17:23, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I concur with GabrielF, this is an iconic photo at low resolution, which was illustrating the moment in question in the article to which it applied. It seems simple that FU applies here. TewfikTalk 20:30, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
