*'''Keep'''. I agree that it's pretty silly, but there are enough references to justify it as notworthy by Wiki standards. If you glance through the article's keep/delete debates that question's been pretty heavily discussed. If the image creator/uploader reads this, do you know if the base map was open source?

  • 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]
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 debate was Kept Visual representation of an entirely copyrighted, fictional material. Describing the fair use rationale as "nonsense" is unhelpful and unclear, but nothing nonsensical is apparent upon inspection. Freedom of Panorama in Britain (as here in Canada) would require permanent public display. Did I miss anything? WilyD 11:55, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was Deleted. With a substantive discussion such an image might be usable as fair use, as it stands the very minimal discussion of the wife is too problematic. Generic fair use rationale makes it difficult to evaluate usage rationale. WilyD 12:03, 11 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]

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 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]

  • 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.

  • The WP:Music Samples guideline recommends that except in exceptional cases, music samples should be no longer than 30 seconds (and less than 10% of the length of the track). This sample provides no reason to exceed the guideline. BigrTex 21:57, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • The WP:Music Samples guideline recommends that except in exceptional cases, music samples should be no longer than 30 seconds (and less than 10% of the length of the track - in this case 26.3 seconds). This sample provides no reason to exceed the guideline. BigrTex 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. ~ BigrTex 23:09, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Unnotable non-free use music video cap, claimed as album cover, which does not exist. I am not claiming the video isn't notable and doesn't need a screen cap, but this screen cap doesn't do the video justice in its own, we need a better clip that shows notability - this is not notable, its just Rihanna close-up.
