The result of the discussion was: Textbook WP:NFCC#1 violation. Subject is still alive and free images of him are readily available on Commons. -Fastily 00:58, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I originally tagged this as replaceable fair use, but it was contested by the uploader with the following rationale: "The subject, a notable professional wrestler who died in 2006, was a rikishi for 9 months in Japan (Nov '85 to Jul '86); this tag presumes that it was enough time to gestate some random person in Japan taking a photo of Makushita (third division) bout of a the sumo equivalent of a minor-league player. Respectfully, the assumption that there would be a free version of this available from that brief window (on film) seems to be a bit of a reach."

This is a textbook violation of WP:NFCC#1. Free alternatives of the subject exist (see c:Category:John Tenta). We do not need a non-free image of him in a sumo ring to understand that he was a briefly a sumo wrestler. ✗plicit 00:04, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The subject, a notable professional wrestler who competed from 1987-2004 and died in 2006, was a rikishi for 9 months in Japan (Nov '85 to Jul '86), almost entirely an unknown at that level. This tag for "no free equivalent" presumes 9-months in the 1980s was enough time to gestate some random person in Japan taking a photo of Makushita (third division) bout of a the sumo equivalent of a minor-league player. Respectfully, the assumption that there would be a free version of this available from that brief window (on film) seems to be a bit of a reach. In theory, could there be such a photo? Yes. Is it ever likely to surface? Unlikely. I'm not sure if this tag was meant to foreclose all situations where the likelihood of finding a non-free equivalent is possible. Wikipedia has articles of rikishi, it's still an interesting aspect of his life. I get that some Wikipedians are deletionists and are passionate about removing things, but I respectfully ask for it to be kept. --Bobak (talk)

The file shows the emblems of the 3 subunits of the Frontier Corps. As the article already used File:FC main logo.jpg as the main representation, the file is redundant and should be used in the separate articles (at Frontier Corps Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (North), Frontier Corps Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (South), Frontier Corps Balochistan (North) and Frontier Corps Balochistan (South)).

The file therefore violates WP:NFCC#3a, and should be deleted. 廣九直通車 (talk) 04:23, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No freedom of panorama for 3D artworks in the United States. This sculpture was erected in 2005 and is therefore too recent to be in public domain due to age. Photo is not used anywhere. Ixfd64 (talk) 20:26, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
