Image:Aileenchild.jpg (talk | delete)

Uploaded by DrBat (notify | contribs). UE, a serial killer's picture as a child is of little value to an article, used under fair use MECU≈talk 01:07, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Strongly oppose. How is a picture of the subject as a child, in the part of the article of said subject's childhood, irrelevant? --DrBat 02:15, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The burden is on the image description page to show why the image is needed. Please consider writing a rationale explaining a reason to use this image. Right now, the description page only answers "what", it doesn't answer "why". Personally, I agree with Mecu ... it is now Wikipedia policy to delete promo photos that are only used to show what someone looks like. Without further information as to why we need this image, I don't see the use of it either. BigDT 04:53, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It isnt a promo image!! It's a childhood photo of someone deceased. Jeez... wait a minute; is this photo even copyrighted in the first place??--DrBat 19:36, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Presumably, this photo was not published prior to 1978. If it was not published before 1978, it will be copyrighted for the life of the author plus 70 years. The question that needs to be answered is what encyclopedic purpose it serves to show a picture of the person as a child. BigDT 00:54, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Aileen was born in 1956; this was taken when she was 4. This means it was made around 1960. --DrBat 01:22, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

But was the photo actually published before 1978? If someone took a photo in 1937, but never published it and died of a heart attack five minutes after taking the photo, it is still copyrighted today. --BigDT 02:35, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Then who owns it? Wuornos? --DrBat 04:21, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this photograph is relevent in bringing forth humanity to a person who would be otherwise labeled as inhuman. It also seems a relevent to accompany the description of her childhood.Diyung 06:22, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly. --DrBat 20:32, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How does a childhood picture show humanity? Could you stick any picture of a child in there and bring humanity to an article? Why do we need to bring humanity to this article/subject/person? Relevant sure, but encyclopedic? No. --MECU≈talk 15:42, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If it's relevant, how is it UE? --DrBat 20:12, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted the image not because it was unencyclopedic, but because it lacked a real source and a fair use rationale. It looks to me to be a school picture not a family photo. -Nv8200p talk 22:30, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Hpim0841.jpg (talk | delete)

Uploaded by Bartman8691 (notify | contribs). The picture is apparently part of a personal attack launched at Laura Eye, slated for speedy delete. Thus, I doubt if the release of rights has been done by the actual rights holder. — Mermaid from the Baltic Sea 04:59, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Update: the user who was apparently attacked (see User talk:Lauraeye) blanked Laura Eye right before the speedy delete. Mermaid from the Baltic Sea 18:19, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not deleted - the tag has been corrected. This does not appear to be a photo montage, but, rather just a comparison betwen two TV shows. If another admin disagrees, though, feel free to override this decision. --BigDT 02:59, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Calvino-italo.jpg (talk | delete)

Uploaded by Tadiew (notify | contribs). Fair use is claimed because it is a book cover, but it's actually only the sleeve photo showing the author and is used to illustrate the author, not the book. — Recury 15:34, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Probably still fair use, especially since it's cropped close and was approved by his agent (presumably, if it appeared on a book sleeve). Italo Calvino is dead, so no possible free image available. Argyriou (talk) 01:05, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

When they say that promotional photos are fair use, I don't think they mean "Scan a book cover in and crop the author photo out." Besides, it looks like crap. Recury 02:20, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image replaced by book cover of book by the author. Richard G. Shewmaker 08:33, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, that's a much more clear-cut violation of our fair use policy. Recury 12:39, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you avoiding the discussion in the article? Our fair use policy allows book covers when relevant to the article and in this case it is dually so: the book is by the author and is in the article. If you review a number of articles about writers you'll find many comparable examples. Richard G. Shewmaker 21:11, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It allows book covers to illustrate the book in question; using it to illustate the author is very similar to one of the things specifically not fair use (using an album cover depicting a rose to illustate what a rose looks like). I honestly don't know what other discussion you mean. Recury 03:00, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
