This image was tagged as being self-made, but I think it maybe looks like a screen capture to me. It doesn't look like your average amateur digital camera photo. The uploader seems to be a one-day single purpose account. Rob (talk) 17:01, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I agree that it looks like a screengrab - if you look carefully you can just see that "squaring" effect you get on phone videos and youtube posts, so I suspect a grab from a digital TV signal. The photoshopping must have been to improve the picture. Totnesmartin (talk) 08:06, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nosence FU rationale Fasach Nua (talk) 13:19, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Which one? Maybe you should notify futurehawk about this. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 20:51, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Fair use rationale is extensive and valid, and by no means 'nosence' [sic]. — Edokter • Talk • 15:06, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Note The image is not tagged, which invalidates this nomination. — Edokter • Talk • 15:06, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Tentative keep. I am unconvinced that the rationale is "nonsense," but on the other hand I am unconvinced that the content of this - a particular Time Lord costume used in the 70s (that is admittedly iconic) couldn't be handled by an image from a convention of a fan in costume or something. Phil Sandifer (talk) 15:15, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete it is possible that a free photograph of this costume could be taken at, say, the Dr Who exhibition in Blackpool, which has such a costume on display (scroll down and there's a very bad photo). Totnesmartin (talk) 15:39, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I am uncomfortable with deleting because there is a brief period where a photograph could be taken. Unless you or someone else is planning on heading to Blackpool, in which case we can readily replace. But if we're holding a specific prop on a temporary display as our hope, I'm hesitant. Phil Sandifer (talk) 16:14, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Does the fact it's on temporary display negate the freedom of panorama? Sceptre ^(talk) 17:09, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - Say what? Phil Sandifer (talk) 17:42, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      - commons:Commons:Freedom of panorama#United_Kingdom. Sceptre ^(talk) 18:06, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The image (and article) is not about the costume; it is about the Time Lords. — Edokter • Talk • 23:31, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - What, exactly, does the image illustrate beyond the appearance of the costume, which I will agree is a significant part of the larger subject of the Time Lords? Phil Sandifer (talk) 22:42, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - The image serves to provide a key cultural aspect of a Time Lord, in this case wearing ceremonial dress. In any case, just showing the costume is akin to depicting humanity by only showing a suit. — Edokter • Talk • 23:31, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      - None of this is in the FU rationale, and you are just making guesses as to what the function (if any) is. The time lords have been described as Humanoid. I think it is quite insulting to the readers to imply that their concept of a humanoid is deficient and needs augmented with a non-free image, as for the costume. The content of the image page goes as far as to say the costume is atypical, and anything atypical should not be used to describe something that is typical, however I am just guessing as to the function of the image, as the uploader hasnt told us the function Fasach Nua (talk) 08:32, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As Edokter points out, the image is there to illustrate a character in full costume, not the costume itself. It is therefore not replaceable the way you describe it. So#Why ^{review me!} 21:58, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep not replaceable. LA @ 22:21, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image appears to be taken from here, and is copyrighted. Shimgray | talk | 01:17, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
comment the site is copyrighted, but the pictures it uses might not be - one or two seem to be contemporary (such as the thomas brown picture) - is this image out of copyright, though? Try contacting the website and asking. Totnesmartin (talk) 15:48, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Bob.hawke.jpg (delete | talk | history | logs) - uploaded by Paul Melville Austin (notify | contribs).

A copyright free image of this man is available: Image:BannonHawke.jpg Damiens.rf 04:21, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NFCC#1. In addition to Image:BannonHawke.jpg, another copyright-free replacement exists at Image:BobHawke.JPEG. — Satori Son 15:34, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image:BobHazel.jpg

Image:BobHazel.jpg (delete | talk | history | logs) - uploaded by Timeshift9 (notify | contribs).

A copyrighted picture of a couple of old people does not significantly increase readers' understanding of the article. Damiens.rf 04:26, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The image is definitely not replaceable by a free image - Bob and Hazel divorced over a decade ago and Bob remarried. The image reflects how the two were seen and presented together by both themselves and the media at the time Bob Hawke was Prime Minister of Australia. Its presence therefore significantly increases readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding per NFCC#8. Orderinchaos 15:20, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Question Shouldn't the article discuss his first wife if the picture is be used? She barely gets a mention. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 16:49, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It definitely should. I'm surprised it doesn't, on looking, actually (her own article is also quite deficient and a bit UNDUEish). Will let the Politics subproject know. Orderinchaos 19:19, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Since the article already contains several photographs of the subject, this use of a copyrighted image does not comply with WP:NFCC#1. If the subject of the article was Marriage of Bob and Hazel Hawke or some such, it might qualify. But as an illustration of the subject Bob Hawke, it not only is replaceable, but in fact already has been. — Satori Son 15:09, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as above, the image illustrates a non-extant army. Also, I don't see that the Aerican Army is detailed. Kind of an odd topic, but this isn't an article about the Aerican Army, which incidentally, does not exist. Lazulilasher (talk) 16:23, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Silly, original research, no encyclopedic purpose. Does not aid in understanding the Aerican Empire article. Sandstein 08:18, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I must protest the assessment of this map as being of no aid in understanding. The article itself refers to a political project with defined boundaries, and the map shows those boundaries. It is as relevant as having a map of Canada in the Canada article, or to use an example which editors here might prefer, as much sense as having a map of Faerun or Lothlórien in their respective articles.

This is an image I uploaded back when I was a newbie and didn't properly understand WP:NFCC. I am bringing it here because I previously tagged it for speedy deletion as a replaceable non-free image, but deletion was declined by an administrator. The image fails WP:NFCC#1 because it is just an image of a cliff in a park in South Africa that could be replaced by a freely licensed photograph. Bláthnaid ^talk 10:36, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as failing NFCC#1 (a free replacement is clearly possible) and NFCC#8 (does not significantly increase readers understanding) - Peripitus (Talk) 11:06, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

While many claim that this flag has been seen out once, no reliable source for its existence has ever been offered. Within the islands, this flag is not recognised - the only recognised flag being the one of the local council - there are numerous discussions on this in the talk pages for various articles in the wiki-project Scottish Islands.

Delete - this is fanciful, and is unknown to many people in the Western Isles. In addition, the flag used by the teams in the Island Games tends to be the traditional one, with three longships (birlinn) on it.--MacRusgail (talk) 15:16, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This sample provides no reason to exceed the guideline. Bigr Tex 22:11, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, so it's 46 seconds. Big freaking deal. I can upload a slightly shorter version if this discussion determines the file should be deleted. JACOPLANE • 2008-08-4 18:39

Also, the only reason I surpassed the 30-second limit is because I didn't want to cut off the refrain half-way through, since that would sound terrible. JACOPLANE • 2008-08-4 18:41

To the nominator: wouldn't it be more easily resolved if the uploader was directly contacted rather than going through with all these bureaucratic hoops? Anyways, since when do we follow policies and guidelines to the letter rather than to the essence it embodies? The file is a short, reduced quality sample - isn't that enough to comply with the spirit of the guideline? Oh noes, we now have to cut it midway through a paragraph just because its a freaking sixteen seconds longer! Bravo! Way to go! --soum ^talk 19:06, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep As a guideline, "common sense and the occasional exception" may permit the extra 16 sec. clip for an accurate representation. You know, we really could do with less sarcasm on this forum by editors (and admins). JGHowes ^talk - 13:16, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comments First, for clarity, it is 20 seconds more than the guideline, not 16. Second, the rationale still doesn't provide any reason to exceed the guideline; When the {{ifd}} tag is removed, there will be no reason for the sample not to be renominated for the same reason. Finally, since the article where the sample is used makes no mention of the refrain, it seems like the entire refrain could be cut to get the sample within the guideline. There does seem to be consensus to delete or shorten longer samples - I notice that neither of the objections for this nomination made any objection to the shortening/deletion of the other samples listed around this one. ~ Bigr Tex 23:09, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
