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: Delete. At the end of the day this is really simple: this non-free image is replaced by a free image identifying the article subject. (ESkog)^(Talk) 06:48, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fails NFCC criteria 1 - "Non-free content is used only where no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose." - That there is no free version now does not take away from the fact that as late as the day of release or as early as E3 in a few weeks, there are going to be opportunities to take pictures of this and release them under free licenses. Just as we don't use non-free images of living people while we wait for someone to take a free one, we should not use non-free images of products while we wait for a free one. Sven Manguard Wha? 01:29, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The big difference here is that while there is a reasonable expectation that it is possible to obtain a free image of an individual now even if none are available now, it's not possible now to to get a free image of the Xbox One as there simply aren't any available. After release or E3 that will be different but, for the present, there is no possibility of getting a free image so, right now there is "no free equivalent available, or that could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose". --AussieLegend (✉) 03:40, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Aussie. Right now, the image is not replaceable. — TORTOISE WRATH 04:24, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The Xbox One wasn't released yet, thus a free alternative isn't available. Thus the image now is not replaceable. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 08:12, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is the only official image of the console is from Microsoft, which is non-free. For now a free image of the console can't be found anywhere else, so until E3, this image should be kept. Giggett (talk) 12:08, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As it's used for purely illustrative purposes, and per Aussie's observations. --Jasca Ducato (talk) 12:13, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Check WP:NFCI §10. Photos of deceased people are disallowed if there is a reasonable expectation that it will be possible to obtain a free image at some point in the future, even if this currently isn't possible. This seems to be similar: it will be possible to obtain a free image once the product is available on the market. --Stefan2 (talk) 14:13, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Deceased people were alive at one stage so it's generally expected that free images will exist somewhere (for people born in the last 100 years or so). That's not an expectation we have with this. It has never been alive. --AussieLegend (✉) 19:44, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also if NFCI 10 was meant to deal with non living objects it would have used more general terms and not only mention deceased people.--174.95.111.89 (talk) 22:26, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - It may be replaceable in a few weeks, but right now it isn't.--Rockfang (talk) 21:52, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I'm going to repeat what I said about Xbox One Controller.jpg: The image as educational value in that its shows readers what an Xbox One [controller] looks like and their is no free image of it at this time. I'm sure someone will a eventually make a free image of it, but their not reason to wait until that time to have images in the Xbox One article. The non-free images can simply be removed when no longer need. Icedog (talk) 00:15, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Just for illustrative purposes, and the image can't be replaceable, as the console isn't out yet. Zappa O Mati 23:08, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is obviously an image released by the company. I searched for it and find it used in many news articles, such as Forbes Magazine. [1] Its probably listed on Microsoft's website somewhere, although I don't spot it right away. Need to credit it to its proper original source, not just what random site it was found on. Dream Focus 14:22, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As per rationale of all other users. (And I've credited the proper original source, and reuploaded a properly resized image for fair use purposes). -Kai445 (talk) 17:54, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete E3 is in a few weeks, where a free image is pretty much possible since MS has affirmed it will be demonstrating the unit more and E3 is open to photography. As there is no discussion of the look of the console at the present time (Read: there is no connection to the text and ergo fails NFCC#8), there's no push to get an image in place, per DEADLINE. It would be different if this was a press image and the console was more than months out from a public reveal, but this is clearly going to be available soon so the non-free is inappropriate. --MASEM (t) 00:18, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Even when not release, the fact that we are waiting for release is not an adequate reason to keep this image. Impatience is getting out of hand. --George Ho (talk) 19:35, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This image will be useful even after E3. It's in fair use right now anyways. It's an upcoming and hyped console, the image should stay. RocketLauncher2 (talk) 12:03, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also I don't get why we have the clause that explicitly states use if no free alternative exists if we keep doing this. Its such a shame that this is the first thing you see when you look up "Xbox One" and is where many people will get ther information from and yet no one cares if they can put a picture to the name or not. They have to go elsewhere to do it. RocketLauncher2 (talk) 13:52, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Until E3, what will we use to show the Xbox One? buffbills (talk) 00:31, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Free image license Jackgba — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jackgba (talk • contribs) 17:19, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- What free image?! The Xbox One Console and Controller.png and the Xbox One logo are only images there. Icedog (talk) 22:24, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Unless the person that nominated this for deletion can replace this picture with a suitable equivalent then deleting this will degrade the article it is used in. And why are you going after this image when this, this image, this image, this image, this image, this image and all of the images in this gallery are not targeted despite showing the same thing for their respective consoles and being used for the same purpose in their articles. PantherLeapord (talk) 07:15, 10 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - E3 has passed, and there is plenty of free content available (like this). Darkelement502 (talk) 02:50, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Mashable (mshcdn.com, mashable.com) and it's Xbox picture are non-free and subject to the following restriction on the bottom of their homepage: Reproduction without explicit permission is prohibited. All Rights Reserved. Icedog (talk) 00:36, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - As E3 is now currently underway with the hardware out in the open, we can expect a free picture to be possible. --MASEM (t) 18:00, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It is a reasonably well chosen image, that Microsoft supports the use of, and it falls nicely under fair use. The other images out there are of such poor quality that it is hard to discern the subject of the image. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BrxBrx (talk • contribs) 22:24, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is probably the best image out there of it. If we have a picture someone has taken it just won't look nice. Just keep this image up until the console is released. Pure Awesomeness Commonly called Evoogd20 04:21, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- We don't consider quality of image (unless we're talking about a blurry mess). --MASEM (t) 20:01, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The motivation of NFCC #1 is to encourage editors to find or create a free image when it is possible to do so. At present it is not possible to create a free image of this product, short of violating confidential/NDA access. Once the console is in general availability NFCC #1 will apply and this image should be removed. —dgies^t_c 18:06, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- It's on the public floor at E3. There's no NDA breakage as several other sites have their photos of the unit on display. --MASEM (t) 20:01, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
[2] Free image right there (CC-BY-SA), folks. --MASEM (t) 20:04, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I hope you are kidding. AFAIK Flickr images are NOT free for us to use and it does NOT serve any purpose to illustrate the subject as the Xbox 360 being in the photo kinda ruins it's usability! PantherLeapord (talk) 01:12, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Er, absolutely wrong. As long as the uploader on flickr has put an appropriate CC licence (in this case, CC-BY-SA) on the image, it is free to use on Commons and on en.wiki. It is more usable than the non-free Xbox One media image. And because the unit is now on display, there is no allowance for a non-free - a better free image can always be had but that free image does the job necessary to show the hardware. --MASEM (t) 01:26, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - Uhh... the image DOES have to show the hardware otherwise what is the point of having a picture to SHOW people what the article is about? There is a reason why we use this image on Basketball instad of Soccer! PantherLeapord (talk) 01:30, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      - Can the reader understand the article without the images? Yes because there is zero discussion about the physical appearance of the unit, only the technical specifications. Are there free replacements available? Yes. Fails NFCC flat out. --MASEM (t) 01:57, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep Why do we have the picture that's on the article now, when this file is just fine. I saw the PlayStation 4 picture from it's article being considered for deletion and I gave my argument for that, this photo is the promotional photo from Microsoft why do we need a photo of the Xbox One on the E3 floor? Other video game consoles articles have a promotional picture from the manufacture like the Xbox 360, PS3 and WiiU, why is this any different? We keep it because it's the promotional picture of the console it self. TheDeviantPro (Talk) 01:15, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free image being used exclusively for decoration; it's in a section with only tables and data, literally no text. Not needed to clarify the fact, already explained in text, that Lithuania won this competition. (ESkog)^(Talk) 14:18, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It is used not only for decoration. It is a photo of triumph after winning EuroBasket. This type of picture cannot be taken at the moment (because it happened 10 years ago), so it is valid for Wikipedia articles. Lithuania won it after more than 70 years so yeah, I consider it more than just a decoration. (Pofka)

Delete The fact that Lithuania won can be described in text. You don't need an image to know that Lithuania won. --Stefan2 (talk) 19:30, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Think about QUALITY of the Wikipedia articles. Everything can be simplified into boring boxes of text something like:

Year	Place
2010	3th
2011	2th
2012	3th

Or it can be with solid text, thoroughly describing event, and a photo of it. Would you buy magazine, describing event with walls of text and without any illustrations? I'm sure that you wouldn't be doing that and you would search for another one with images instead. Images = quality and since they're VALID for use in Wikipedia, according to rules, I'm surprised why we're arguing about it.

As above, a nonfree image being used exclusively for decoration of a section of tables and data. (ESkog)^(Talk) 14:19, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It is a historical moment in Lithuania national team history. It is the first time when Lithuania came back to FIBA tournaments after soviets occupation. Since such a picture cannot be taken at the moment (unless you have a time machine and could travel 20 years back), it is valid for Wikipedia articles. (Pofka)
Delete It is essentially just a non-free photo of the Lithuanian team. The article can just as easily be understood without it. See WP:NFCC#8. --Stefan2 (talk) 19:31, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As above, non-free image being used to illustrate table of data. The differences between EuroBasket 1939 and modern basketball are already better illustrated by the (also non-free) File:Eurobasket 1939 Lithuania-Hungary.jpg from the same article. (ESkog)^(Talk) 14:21, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep You compare championship winning moment with a simple moment from a game? C'mon. As the previous photos, this one also cannot be taken now because it happened 74 years ago. Fair use once again. (Pofka)

Nonfree image used for decorative purposes, rationale for use unclear. There are already many free images illustrating this basketball club. (ESkog)^(Talk) 14:22, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There is no images illustrating Žalgiris during soviet times. (Pofka)
Keep Its used in an article about the subject. Fair usage laws and common sense apply. Dream Focus 01:19, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- So even if we have six free images on an article, that justifies inclusion of a seventh non-free image which serves the same purpose? That seems to fly in the face of WP:NFCC 3a. (ESkog)^(Talk) 12:44, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - ESkog, it seems all you can do is mess up somebody's else work instead of doing something useful by your self. The photos are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT and there may be thousands of them describing each of the subject in question, since photo of it cannot be made at the moment. End of story. (Pofka)
Delete per WP:NFCC #8. We don't need a non-free image to understand that the team played in Soviet times, so the abscence of this image would not be detrimental to understanding of the article. INeverCry 17:09, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: The image is not the subject of commentary in the article, and seems to have been added purely for decoration. Thus it fails to meet our non-free content requirements. -- Diannaa (talk) 03:35, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A historical flag which is not used in the infobox and doesn't particularly seem to identify the NZ Ministry of Transport. There's no cited discussion in the article about this image, so it doesn't pass the NFCC (specifically 3a and 8). (ESkog)^(Talk) 19:54, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Personally, I think you're over-reacting. The flag existed and this rendition is accurate.--Expatkiwi^(talk) 20:02, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose the flag is accurate and official, though no longer in use. We have many such flags that are non-free without infobox or direct discussion criteria. Fry1989 ^eh? 20:14, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have found and uploaded a free logo which replaces this image's stated purpose: File:NZ MoT Logo.gif. (ESkog)^(Talk) 22:19, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Replacement Logo Comment: The linked page permissions page specifically requires written permission to use the logo: Permission to use the Ministry of Transport logo can be sought by emailing <employee name published on site>. -- Nbound (talk) 01:57, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have listed the new file as a suspected copyright violation. -- Nbound (talk) 02:04, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This logo represents the flag used by the MOT in New Zealand and if anyone questions the accuracy a quick Google and I found this photo, https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/550196_456885954353052_906906072_n.jpg This also represents the MOT logo that was on all traffic patrols vehicles prior to 1992 when the NZ Police took over the duties of highway patrol. Bhowden (talk) 07:38, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- There seems to be some confusion in many of the comments here as to why I've proposed that this image should be deleted. I agree that it is the correct flag which was used at the time - that's not in dispute. The question is on whether we can justify the inclusion of an old non-free logo via our non-free content criteria; I contend that we cannot. (ESkog)^(Talk) 17:00, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
During this conversation the image has been retagged as {{PD-ineligible}}. Unless the seal is in the public domain I don't think that tag applies here. (ESkog)^(Talk) 21:51, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Invalid FUR: 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. This image is not critical for understanding, but is used in a decorative fashion. Since this file does not greatly enhance understanding, nor will its omission greatly decrease understanding, it must be deleted. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 23:28, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and hold action on all of these images pending a wider community discussion. I respect your good faith in submitting this batch of deletion nominations, but IMO the issue needs to be reviewed by the community before any of the images in question are deleted. This comment applies as well to the deletions you proposed later (2013 May 23), and I have placed a similar note there. — Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 04:57, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Richwales. As stated by others below, these images are illustrative of the episodes and increase understanding, so their use seems appropriate. Such images are so widely used in episode articles that the wider community seems to support their use, so wider community discussion as proposed by Richwales seems necessary. --AussieLegend (✉) 15:45, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't think that's the case at all - infobox screenshots for TV shows have been removed time and again from TV shows. While there is a conundrum about the best way to proceed, infobox images that don't add to a reader's understanding are violations of our non-free content policy. --B (talk) 12:10, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, obvious case, as per multiple precedents. Typical example of an image that was evidently uploaded merely as a matter of routine, without any claim to individual explanative significance. Random shot of simply one of the standard characters in an entirely stereotypical pose. Entirely non-specific boilerplate FUR (this makes the image a speedy deletion candidate independently of the outcome of this FFD). Article consists almost entirely of plot renarration and contains no analytical commentary in any way related to the image. Fut.Perf. ☼ 05:52, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know what the right answer is for how to nominate these, but having hundreds of separate "discussions" (really just copy/paste replies) is not it. If there is an individual image somewhere in this mess that is important because it does show something critical to the reader's understanding, you may want to say so beyond just copying/pasting a statement. --B (talk) 12:10, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- There was once a mass nomination at WP:NFCR about all episodes from one season, with the result that all of them were deleted. I'm not sure whether this or that is the ideal situation. Any reason to keep any individual image would obviously depend on individual things in the articles, and then a mass nomination is inappropriate. On the other hand, individual discussions typically turn out to be a lot of copying and pasting of identical comments to multiple sections on the same page, and that also seems to be inappropriate. --Stefan2 (talk) 12:26, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - I know and I fully recognize that it's a darned if you do and darned if you don't. But there's just no way that something like this is going to result in individual discussions being evaluated by a closing admin. I picked a few at random and looked at them just to see if any of them were being used for purposes other than decoration and the ones I looked at all seem to be just infobox images used decoratively with no commentary about the image. Those need to go away ... but if there are any that are being used transformatively, they need to be pointed out so that they don't get thrown out with the bathwater. --B (talk) 15:18, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - Also, it should be noted that I found two of them that are used in other articles. Whoever handles these needs to take care no to just go right down the list and hit the delete button without checking to see if an image is used in an episode other than the episode article. Romulan and Redshirt (character) both use images under a claim of fair use and both of these are appropriate, or, at least, worthy of a separate discussion. --B (talk) 15:33, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Just a man sitting in a sofa. Easily replaceable by text. Additionally, the image violates WP:NFCC#10b. Straightforward enforcement of the usage instructions for {{Infobox episode}}: "There is no blanket allowance for an image per episode. A non-free screenshot should only be used if it meets the Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria, i.e. typically if it is required to illustrate a crucial element of the episode that is the object of explicit, sourced analytical commentary and where that commentary is in need of visual support to be understood." --Stefan2 (talk) 12:21, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Well, I think the point of it is to illustrate the overly complex apology ritual of the Kreetassans that Captain Archer has to follow. It is mentioned in the text, "Finally swallowing his pride, the captain then goes down to the Kreetassan capital city and delivers an intricate ritual apology which involves slicing a tree trunk with a chainsaw, arranging the pieces of wood in a complex pattern on the ground, and chanting phrases in the Kreetassan language." I agree, though, that the picture isn't necessary to the reader's understanding - the text fully explains it. --B (talk) 15:24, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The fact that three people were standing behind a person who is sitting down can easily be described in text. See WP:NFCC#1. Images like this are deleted all of the time due to failing WP:NFCC#1 and WP:NFCC#8. Straightforward enforcement of the explanation on when to use the image parameter of {{Infobox television episode}}: "There is no blanket allowance for an image per episode. A non-free screenshot should only be used if it meets the Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria, i.e. typically if it is required to illustrate a crucial element of the episode that is the object of explicit, sourced analytical commentary and where that commentary is in need of visual support to be understood." --Stefan2 (talk) 12:03, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
