  • Keep; The rational for deletion is faulty. “It is possible to simply photograph a [fill in the blank] and obtain a free picture.” This is true in every case in which fair use is claimed. The rational itself if taken at face values invalidates ANY fair use claim for ANY photo ANYWHERE within WP. The point seems to be that Fair use itself is no longer a valid claim. BTW, if I had a treadle pump at my disposal I would take a photo. I don’t, thus the claim of “Fair Use”. Brimba (talk) 01:41, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment. This is not true in every case in which fair use can be claimed. See Wikipedia:FAIRUSE for a list of special cases in which fair use applies. This is not one of them. Simple lack of availability of the object in question for you to photograph is not a valid fair use rationale. I cannot, for instance, claim fair use on a commercial shot of Mount Everest simply because I am unable to get there. If you want to release a free image, then you can go and buy a treadle pump and photograph it yourself. A free replacement can clearly be found if you are willing to do it. siℓℓy rabbit (talk) 21:58, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete fails WP:NFCC criterion 1 - a free equivelent could be easily created. Guest9999 (talk) 14:11, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • I fail to see how the free use criterion that "no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information" applies here. I do not believe that this image is the only one adequately providing detail on melanoma, and it certainly must not be true that no free equivalent could be created. The image thus fails the free use policy. —  scetoaux (T|C) 20:22, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
