Do historic images fail WP:NFCC#8?

[edit]

User Werieth claims that the historic images displayed with this article fail WP:NFCC#8. The recommendation reads: "Contextual significance. Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding." My claim is that the images are necessary for an understanding of the history of Wynnewood, and that their omission would significantly detract from the value of the article. Please help decide this issue by offering opinions on this matter.Wissembourg (talk) 19:37, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

To be specific the files fail WP:NFCC#1, WP:NFCC#3 and WP:NFCC#8. Yes they make the article look pretty, but are not required. Werieth (talk) 19:42, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Please note that the files cannot be re-added until there is consensus to do so. WP:NFCC is fairly explicit on that. Werieth (talk) 19:57, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yea, there's very little of historical significance these photos add. The structure of the homes isn't very unique compared to other homes at the time (which we have free images of) and scans of the promotional stuff isn't very useful. Not appropriate to include. --MASEM (t) 20:10, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • A historic image doesn't automatically violate WP:NFCC#8. Some opinions of each of the images:
Summary: Six out of the seven so-called "non-free" images seem to be in the public domain. The copyright status of the last image is unclear, and that image will have to be deleted unless it can be shown that it also is in the public domain. --Stefan2 (talk) 20:23, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for this helpful clarification. I have updated the copyright information in the relevant image files and then restored the images (minus the one from the Dallas Public Library) to the article. Wissembourg (talk) 02:29, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
