This is a low-resolution duplicate of File:US Navy 000902-N-9848G-002 U.S. Naval Academy mascot.jpg. It is cropped somewhat, but given the small size I feel this file isn't needed. XLerate (talk) 01:20, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the media below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the media's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was: All of these, 1.3 though 1.19, have been withdrawn. What is needed here is a case by case examination, extensive cleanup, and perhaps a few deletions. At this point, however, there is consensus against a deletion of this scale. I really do believe that people have taken fair use to an absolutely laughable and appallingly overboard place on the Western painting and 20th century Western painting articles, however pruning excess needs to be done in a different manner. If anyone is willing to work with me on this, drop me a message on my talk page, because it seems I'm flying blind into an area where passions are high and the rules I usually work with don't apply. I;d appreciate the help. Sven Manguard Wha? 21:25, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Non free image used as gallery fodder. Fails NFCC#1 in spin art, fails NFCC#8 and NFCC#3a in all pages it is used in. Sven Manguard Wha? 06:07, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Works of visual art must be seen and there is no No free equivalent available. Words alone do not work to describe something that must be seen.

Keep per others. Needed at Damien Hirst. Perhaps Swen would like to specify which images he does think suitable to use to illustrate contemporary art, or should it just be left unillustrated? Johnbod (talk) 13:08, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- My issue is that there are dozens of non-free images on some of these pages. I was unaware of the foundation's statement, but having dozens of non-free images on a page is simply unacceptable. I did not intentionally place up for deletion all the non-free images in a particular section, I prioritized on a) Non-free images in sections where free use images also in the same galleries, and b) Non-free images that were seemingly redundant to other non-free images. I have nothing against using a few, maybe a half dozen even, fair-use images in a page. Having two dozen or more is just too much. Sven Manguard Wha? 20:30, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per the highly respected users above. If there's an issue on certain page(s), deal with it there; nominating the image for deletion is absolutely not the right way to handle the perceived problem. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 20:54, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Non free image used as gallery fodder. Fails NFCC#1 in spin art, fails NFCC#8 in all pages it is used in. Sven Manguard Wha? 06:09, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Before I vote anything, I'll make one comment here that goes for the whole series of modern paintings nominations below. Using illustrations of artworks for articles about the art is the core of what Fair Use is actually all about, and the main reason why we preserve the whole exception about allowing non-free images in the first place. It is also true that articles about visual art styles, painters etc., if they have substantial analytic content, may often be in very genuine need of illustration, so I'm prepared to give article authors quite a bit of leeway if they feel they need more than just one or two images in an article (especially where we are dealing with actual art, which poses substantial issues of understanding and aesthetic appreciation, and not just trivial pop-culture junk). However, we also see here the dangers of that perversion of policy and process that is the use of meaningless boilerplate FURs, unfortunately practiced by so many uploaders. I expect that some of the images nominated here do in fact have some important function in some one or other of the articles they are used in. But I can't be bothered to read all those articles from beginning to end to find out if and where that is the case. The FURs ought to tell me, at a quick glance. But they don't. Instead, all the image descriptions I've seen are filled with the same stereotypical rows of wordy, unreadable, completely meaningless pseudo-legalese canned "rationales", usually repeated multiple times in identical form. What they ought to be doing is to provide a quick, simple, individual explanation saying: "I need this particular image to illustrate such-and-such an artistic concept, or such-and-such an aesthetic effect, which is crucial for the artistic history of X because of Y." That's what uploaders are told to do, all over the place. Why, oh why, is it that nobody ever does what these FURs are supposed to be there for? Fut.Perf. ☼ 11:14, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed - the FuR's can and should be re-written better...Modernist (talk) 11:28, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and - Comment As User:Tyrenius pointed out - The Foundation has specifically mentioned contemporary art as a genre where non-free images will often have to be retained. Regarding WP:NFCC#8:

Significance. Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding.

Visual art is the parmount place where this applies. The understanding is in the seeing, and no amount of words can substitute for that. Template:Non-free 2D art states that the use of non-free images for critical commentary on

the work in question,
the artistic genre or technique of the work of art or
the school to which the artist belongs

are all legitimate. The description of changing modes and ideas in art is critical commentary, whose meaning can only be properly comprehended by literally seeing it...Modernist (talk) 11:59, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep One of only 2 images of his work at Lucien Freud. Yaaaaawwwwn! Johnbod (talk) 13:14, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep To describe this as "gallery fodder", with respect to the image use in Lucien Freud, is somewhat wide of the mark. As Johnbod correctly states, this is only one of two images in the article on the artist himself, hardly a "gallery". I have not reviewed the use in other articles yet, but its use in the main article on the artist is entirely valid in illustrating one of Freud's themes, viz (from the article):

"Freud's portraits often depict only the sitter .... or alternatively juxtaposed with something else, as in Girl With a White Dog (1951–52) and Naked Man With Rat (1977–78). The use of animals in his compositions is widespread, and often features pet and owner."

This file is clearly not a candidate for deletion, although review of its use in other articles may be warranted, but I make no comment on that at present. Modernist is absolutely correct in all that he states above. Image use in articles relating to the visual arts is an imperative to aid reader understanding, and the fair use criteria at the time of upload clearly reflected this. There are times to apply interpretation of "the rules" appropriately to ensure that the spirit rather than the letter of said rules prevails. This is one of those situations. --Cactus.man ✍ 17:30, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This image doesn't seem to be subject to critical commentary in the article (or if it is, could someone quote it all to me, because I can't spot it?) and I'm not convinced that readers would find it more difficult to understand the topic if the picture were removed, so in my view it also fails NFCC 8. ╟─Treasury Tag►Lord Speaker─╢ 17:10, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. His companions are horrified to witness the astronaut killing him before he can fully regenerate. Not everyone watches Doctor Who, so you cannot expect every reader to know what a regeneration looks like. In fact, we have to presume the reader knows nothing. — Edokter (talk) — 17:20, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
In what sense is that "critical commentary"? It's a one-clause-short-of-a-sentence plot point, written from an in-universe perspective, which doesn't even have the image's subject as its subject (rather, the focus is on the reaction of the companions). If I could just quote from the WikiProject Doctor Who manual of style [1] for a moment: Non-free screenshots should not solely rely on a plot point to justify their use [...] it must also rely on other sections of the article; for example, a key part of the production of the episode, or an aspect of the episode which is notable among television critics. Do you think that this file meets that threshold, Edokter? ╟─Treasury Tag►secretariat─╢ 17:24, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why would I need to "know what a regeneration looks like" in order to understand what the text says about the scene? I don't. In fact, after looking at the image, I still don't. It doesn't matter either way. What's important for the plot is that it is some kind of process, and during that process somebody comes and shoots the guy. Simple. Fut.Perf. ☼ 17:29, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
keep – visually shows the emotional scene which is discussed in the production section (Gillan being upset about it) and an event which was commented heavily on by reviewers. Helps set the emotional tone (death of the Doctor) which in my opinion just text doesn't fully achieve which helps the understanding of the reactions better. _Xeworlebi ^(talk) 17:38, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
But that's about Karen Gillan, and about how she was "acting her heart out." That was what was commented on. This image doesn't show that. Like I said just above, it doesn't even have the image's subject as its subject (rather, the focus is on the reaction of the companions).

delete: the "major plot point" is not in need of illustration to be understood, and the "difficult to understand concept" (I suppose you mean that of "regenerating") isn't the object of any particular discussion in the article. The article speaks of it as if it was simply taking it for granted, so why would we need an illustration of it here? It has a whole article to itself. (And if it really were germane to this article, it too could be described in words: "during 'regenerating', glowing light rays are seen emanating from a person's body bla bla bla". Not difficult to imagine at all. Fut.Perf. ☼ 19:38, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Clear delete. This is silly. There have been multiple attempts to find an image to decorate the infobox and then try to stretch critera to justify it. Would anyone writing about the plot here have said "hey this particular image is essential to the reader's understanding"? Of course not. This is simply a long line of trying to weasel round the NFCC. Regeneration is not even visually described in the text, so knowing what it looks like is hardly critical to anything. The way regeneration is portrayed is not important to the article - or a major feature of the episode. Besides the image isn't really useful in giving the reader an idea of what it looks like anyway.--Scott Mac 11:53, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. The NFCC rationale used for this image pretty clearly doesn't fly (or shouldn't). However, there seems to be a pretty clear consensus-in-practice that a single screenshot from a TV episodes can be used to illustrate the episode articles, providing identifying information. Particularly for long-running shows, the screenshot can provide important contextual information, especially since most TV watchers don't really keep track of the titles of episodes they've seen -- indeed, at least for many US TV series, the titles aren't even used in the broadcasts. Visual cues can be helpful in a way that textual descriptions often aren't (we all know that proverb). There are hundreds of Doctor Who episode screenshots alone, and roughly 20,000 overall (although a significant share of those illustrate character articles). Rather than picking them off piecemeal, based on the poorly written rationales rather than potential encyclopedic function, we should have a centralized discussion on the underlying issues and make our treatment of such images consistent. (The NFCC issue is independent of the case-by-case decision on how well-chosen a particular image may be; some seem rather randomly selected.)

Orphan file. Looks more like Acetonitrile, needs an "R" on the left to show it's about a group Ronhjones ^(Talk) 22:04, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
