Delete Additionally, there is a danger it might be assumed that this image depicts Jacqueline Dark, which I'm sure it doesn't — see Opera Australia. Michael Bednarek (talk) 11:14, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The uploader thought it was... Are you sure it just isn't her without makeup? -Nard 12:35, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

None of those individuals look to me anything like her photo at Opera Australia or other stage photos. Also: 1) I can't find any record of J. Dark ever having performed in Sweeney Todd; there is one reference which mentions both, but it doesn't actually say she played in the musical — it is somewhat unlikely, given that Dark is an opera singer. 2) Even if it's an image of her, it is thoroughly unsuitable.

This non-free image is ~~not low-resolution and~~ is not being used in compliance with its licensing tag. As a scan of a newspaper page, it must be used "to illustrate either the publication of the article or issue in question", but it isn't. It's merely being used to show that Tim Russert's death was front-page news, which can be adequately expressed by text. Neither this specific newspaper nor this specific newspaper article is discussed in the article Reaction to Tim Russert's death at all. —An gr 06:34, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The image size has been reduced to 400 pixels on it's longest side. This is still large enough to read enough of the text on this newspaper front page satisfying it's purpose in the article. That hopefully resolves resolution concerns. As for it's use in the article in question, the image serves as a specific example to the topic covered in that section. No there aren't pointed references to the image in the section's text but there doesn't need to be. If others disagree and think the article can be improved by some discussion which specifically references this image, that's going to have to wait until the article is unprotected. For what it's worth, the Reaction to Tim Russert's death article has gone through a heated AFD recently and all images on that page have had fair-use dispute tags added and removed over the past couple days.--Rtphokie (talk) 11:26, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image size is no longer an issue. If the article isn't kept, the image will have to be deleted as orphaned anyway. If the article is kept, the image isn't being used in compliance with its tag or with WP:NFCC#8. So the decision to delete the image is independent of the fate of the article. —An gr 11:32, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Image fails WP:NFCC#10c as it's lacking a detailed fair-use rationale for this image's usage. — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 00:48, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The image description page claims this image (all of 3 days old when it was uploaded) is "already iconic", but there's no indication that's true. Neither is there critical discussion of this image in the article, or indeed any significant contribution of this photo to the article. —An gr 11:40, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - While you are correct that "iconic" is perhaps too strong word, it's use in this article is perfectly appropriate. This image is a screen capture from a television program about the media which was seen in newspapers around the country. This image illustrates the article's discussion criticism of the media level of coverage of this event very well. --Rtphokie (talk) 11:57, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I fail to see how this photo illustrates the media criticism over the event, not iconic (Yet and may never be). All the image shows is 2 upset hosts of Meet The Press. Bidgee (talk) 12:31, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Failing WP:NFCC#1, #3a, & #8, this image shows two upset living people whose reaction is fully describable and unnecessarily illustrated with this copyrighted image. — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 00:47, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The emotional impact of this image and the irreplaceability (is that a word?) of the image cleanly meets fair use criteria. This image was in newspapers nationwide and is appropriate to keep. As long as the article/text exists, this image should too. — BQZip01 — ^talk 03:46, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The image is replaceable with its caption, in fact: "Democratic strategist James Carville and wife, Republican strategist Mary Matalin, regular Meet the Press guests, burst into tears during taping of the Tim Russert tribute show on 15 June 2008."
  Now, if the image depicts a scene that itself was discussed and commented upon, add that and source it; then you'd have an arguable case for usage. But as it is, this copyrighted image is just decorating complementary text. — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 03:55, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - I disagree that such a powerful image can be replaced, but it should be appropriately sourced & notability annotated, but I have seen this in at least 2 papers and numerous places online...ok, 3 places online, but all likely the same photo from the AP wire. You can't replace certain images with text as it eliminates the impact of the visual. — BQZip01 — ^talk 03:13, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - If the image is being widely leased/sold by the copyright-holder, then our "fair-use" is competitive with the copyright holder's commercial application thereof—failing WP:NFCC#2. — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 04:21, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No it isn't being widely "leased/sold" as you imply. It was sent over the AP wire whereby every AP affiliate can use it (they paid their dues). There is no loss of financial gain. More specifically, this is clearly a copyrighted image, but it meets our criteria for inclusion. — BQZip01 — ^talk 04:28, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't mean to imply anything, I just said "if".
I've seen popular MSM images deleted before even if they were relevant, with the rationale being that they weren't reliably sourcable as being "iconic" or "notable" themselves, and didn't significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic any moreso than libre text could so. — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 04:37, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ADIEU - the image was fine when I uploaded it and included text in the article that made it fair use without controversy. However, it was just days before an organized tribe from some right-wing Internet forum organized off-wiki to descend upon Wikipedia to "reshape" the article according to their agenda, and now that text is no longer in the article. I reverted once but it was reverted again, and I don't have time, nor am I inclined, to organize a counter-tribe and put on warrior feather to keep any text. I've got a lot better things than to deal with that sort of unchecked idiocy, so at this point I don't care what happens to either the image, the article, or Wikipedia. I bid you adieu.

replaceable with text. Say it and source it. Rettetast (talk) 15:38, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I dont think it's replaceable with text that can be sourced. Finding anything that can be used as a source for DQ VI (a video game that came out over ten years ago in Japan) is next to impossible. Evaunit♥666♥ 02:55, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If that were true, then, clearly, the only correct solution would be that we shouldn't have an article about it in the first place. In any case, the information that "people queued up for something", sourced or not, doesn't need this image to be understood. If that piece of information is also not sourceable to reliable independent sources, so much the worse. Hence, obviously: delete. Fut.Perf. ☼ 06:42, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

But can't an image from a reliable independent source act as a source?Evaunit♥666♥ 00:27, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Serving as a source to prove some fact we have no other source for is not normally something we use to justify non-free images. In any case, for that purpose you can just reference the source from which the image is taken, rather than copy the image itself. Plus, the source in this case isn't an independent one anyway. Fut.Perf. ☼ 03:28, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is the source not an independent source? I wasn't sure when putting a tag on the image, but now that I think of it, Nintendo owned the magazine (now Future does) and Enix (now Square Enix) are the producers of the game in question. Wouldn't that make a difference? Evaunit♥666♥ 01:30, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it was a game for the Nintendo, so a Nintendo magazine would obviously have a promotional agenda in writing about it. But be that as it may, if you think it's a reliable source, by all means use it as a reliable source. That means: cite it. Simple. My main point still stands: you still don't need the image. Fut.Perf. ☼ 18:11, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I still think it is useful to the article, but I guess the laws of Wikipedia have won. Deletable. Evaunit♥666♥ 02:14, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~ Delete Image is not replaceable or able to be replicated. As such, ~~it is~~ could be a Fair Use image, but it should be clearly annotated as such with a better Fair Use Rationale. However, I concur that a description of the scene would be sufficient as there is nothing about the scene that "The line was XXX people long and it wrapped around the block(s)" doesn't describe. Furthermore, lines aren't particularly notable and they occur at many times (release of iPhone, Black Friday, etc.). — BQZip01 — ^talk 02:58, 4 July 2008 (UTC) (adds at 20:48, 5 July 2008 (UTC))[reply]
