The page is taking about Andreas Heinecke and it is important the people in general can recognize him. Hence the picture is not replaceable. I have tried to find an alternative for the for-free alternative for the picture but was unsuccessful. I could finally get the consent from the original copyright holder for the use of this particular image for the Wikipedia.Mit.somaiya (talk) 12:09, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your efforts, but unfortunately we can only accept this if the permission extends also to free re-use in other venues, for all purposes. A permission for Wikipedia only is not sufficient. Failing a fully free license, we have the rule that photographs of living persons are always deemed replaceable, since a new photograph could in principle always be taken.
