Replaceable fair use File:John Hickenlooper in front of the Capitol Building.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:John Hickenlooper in front of the Capitol Building.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 19:57, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's almost impossible to have a fair-use image of a living person (such uses are very exceptional - maybe if the person is in prison). However if any free image exists the it is deemed replaceable and has to go. Note also, your upload was 2,832 × 4,256 pixels - high quality fair use is forbidden, even if you could make a case for the image to stay, it would have to be reduced to 257 x 387 to comply with fair use image guidelines, and be low resolution.
