Species is not extinct, and could be observed in the future. This makes the image replaceable and an NFI violation. Sir MemeGod :D (talk - contribs - created articles) 19:28, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It is the deepest-occurring squid genus, and the adults are known only from video, and this particular image is from the first scientific observation.

That unfortunately doesn’t make it not an NFI violation. The species could be observed in the future, making the image itself in violation of the NFCC. I can’t make an NFI from an alive person, because the person could have a photo taken of them later. When they’re dead, then I can. Since this species is still alive (as of 16 hours ago, when the latest observation was published), then a NFI can’t be used.

Delete. Even aside from the above, we have multiple free images already in use in the article. Josh Milburn (talk) 08:29, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
