File:Cory Williams.jpeg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by BankSforLifez (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log). 

This is a non-free image of a living, non-incarcerated individual. If a free image of Cory exists, this image should be replaced with that in the infobox. If not, the infobox should be left blank. We don't really identify subjects if there's no free alternatives available unless they're deceased or incarcerated AuroraANovaUma ^-^ (talk) 18:10, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This image is definetly a non-free screenshot from CoryxKenshin’s official YouTube channel, used under WP:NFCC#1 because no freely licensed, high-quality image is currently available. As a widely recognized content creator, the image provides identifiability and context for readers, directly reflecting his public persona. Per WP:NFCI5 and 8, non-free images from official sources like social media or YouTube are acceptable when free alternatives do not exist. Deletion would reduce the encyclopedic quality and recognizability of the article. Also, Wikipedia notes that YouTube allows screenshots under a Creative Commons CC BY license. However CoryxKenshin’s videos are not marked this way—so I cannot treat the content as freely licensed. Until a CC BY image does become available, this non-free screenshot remains both policy-compliant and valuable for reader identification.(Also you may as well delete the other YouTube Screenshots of people some wiki’s have) BankSforLifez (talk) 11:44, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No that's incorrect, please make sure you understand the fair use guidelines, particularly WP@:NFC#UUI: If a person is alive, nothing's stopping anyone from taking a photo of them, as such it fails WP:NFCC#1. Yeshivish613 (talk) 17:33, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. The keep side have failed to prove that removal of the image would be detrimental to readers' understanding of the article Star Alliance, therefore NFCC#8 is failed and the image must be deleted. Stifle (talk) 07:31, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

File:The Star Alliance is Born May 1997.jpeg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Safety Cap (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log). 

I don't think this image meets WP:NFCC8 - even though it's an interesting photo, its omission would not significantly reduce readers' understanding of the topic Star Alliance. Consigned (talk) 19:50, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
