August 8

File:Richard Carpenter head shot.jpg

File:Richard Carpenter head shot.jpg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Ritchie333 (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log). 

As said by Fastily on PROD before being told to fuck off... "unused, low-res, no obvious use". There is an alternative available on Commons for any wiki to use that has more quality than this. 1989 (talk) 03:26, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

File:Meir Kahane.jpg

File:Meir Kahane.jpg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Jbarta (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log). 

Apparently replaceable fair use by an image of the same name on Commons: c:File:Meir Kahane.jpg Magog the Ogre (t • c) 04:40, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is the image the world knows of Meir Kahane, not the one on Commons. The file on commons, I don't even know if that is the same person. In any case it is not representative of him. If anything, the file on commons is the one that should be deleted or renamed. Debresser (talk) 09:56, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I have tagged the file on Commons for rename. Debresser (talk) 10:05, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 09:13, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Since the file on Commons has now been renamed to File:Meir Kahane Tikvah Canarsie.jpg, I propose to close this discussion as no longer relevant. Debresser (talk) 10:49, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It is not replaceable, since the picture on commons is not at all representative of this person. Debresser (talk) 22:52, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. There's something weird going on with this image - the image at the biographical article is the generally accepted image but when I click on it (that More info option?) the link then brings me to the Canarsie version. It's late where I am otherwise I might be able to figure it out... Shearonink (talk) 06:34, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

File:Martha Rockwell cross-country skier ca 1970.jpg

File:Martha Rockwell cross-country skier ca 1970.jpg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) 

Fails NFCC#1, as a replaceable nonfree image of a living person. Fails NFCC#4 as previously unpublished. Fails NFCC#8, since we do not need an image of an athlete skiing to convey the fact that they were a skier, The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by many administrators since 2006. (talk) 15:28, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, not only replaceable but replaced; the article already contains a free licensed image. Seraphimblade Talk to me 16:10, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retain, The concerns I see here are regarding:
    • NFCC#1 "Non-free content is used only where no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose." Here the encyclopedic purpose is to show the equipment, snow grooming and style of skiing prevalent when Rockwell was a competitor. (Update: I've expanded the rationale to explain this in detail at File:Martha Rockwell cross-country skier ca 1970.jpg. HopsonRoad (talk) 14:11, 9 August 2019 (UTC))[reply]
    • NFCC#4 "Non-free content must be a work which has been published or publicly displayed outside Wikipedia by (or with permission from) the copyright holder..." The image was (and still is) displayed in a sports shop with the permission of the copyright holder.
    • NFCC#8 "Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the article topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding." Cross-country skiing today and the attendant imagery is much different, today, than depicted. I haven't found images of women cross-country skiing from this era, since the US team was newly formed at the time. This is a period of cross-country skiing with very few images of any sort to illustrate the state of the sport at the time.
