Intended for Citogenesis. – SJ + 21:08, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

There was pushback that this is replaceable, and that the WP article isn't directly about the comic.

• Replacability: that doesn't seem that way to me, save in the sense that the comic itself is a straightforward depiction of a process that could be cloned by others, but that seems like both copying and plagiarism.
• Relevance: an image of central relevance is covered by policy even when it isn't the exclusive subject of an article. It is also true that a more explicit fair use case applies to the policy page describing and listing WP-mediated citogenesis, since the image is in fact about that WP policy and process. "Fair use of media about Wikipedia policies on WP policy pages" would make a fine exception to the meta-policy of "no fair use in the WP namespace". But that doesn't change the fact that this should be fair use on the citogenesis article as well.

@Sj: This will get us nowhere, as the bot will keep flagging the file and nobody would participate, so I'm restoring the file in Circular reporting and filing it for FfD. Nardog (talk) 00:19, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

The joy of bots! Thanks @Nardog: that's a fine place to have the discussion.

I updated the article to make it clearer that there is a section where (I believe) the image is a fine NFCC use; if that section were its own article this would be unambiguous, and I think we should be content with section-level NFCC use where it minimizes site-hopping for readers and advances understanding. – SJ + 16:28, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

The bot is doing what it's supposed to and should do because we can't host non-free files that aren't used in the main namespace. FfD is what I suggested you take advantage of from the get-go. Nardog (talk) 19:28, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
