File:Byron M. Baer.jpg (delete | talk | history | logs) - uploaded by Alansohn (notify | contribs).
  • Byron Baer was a famous politician who has been photographed professionally and informally thousands of times. It should not be very difficult to find a photo and get it released under a free license. Damiens.rf 03:17, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep My wife and I received an award from Senator Byron Baer at a point in time when he was clearly suffering the effects of Parkinson's Disease. It was this misfortune that led to his resignation from the New Jersey Senate just a few years later. He died in 2007 and I was unable to obtain a licensable photo from any third party and would have been sure to take a photo with a digital camera at the time I met him though I did not have a camera with me and didn't know that Wikipedia existed. While I cannot complain -- and have not complained -- about the deletion of photos of living legislators, the fact that Mr. Baer is dead and buried makes it that much more challenging to find a picture for which it would be possible to obtain clearance to meet Wikipedia standards. While I would love to find such a picture and would hope to do so in the future, the article and Wikipedia are worse off without the picture, one that captures a small amount of what Senator Baer was like when he was alive before his affliction with Parkinson's. Alansohn (talk) 03:32, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Even in the case that the article and Wikipedia are worse off without the picture, our police wouldn't allow us to use a non free image if we hope to find a free picture in the future. --Damiens.rf 03:41, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • I fail to see why there is an issue with the claim of fair use for this image under Wikipedia policy. I will be more than happy to search far and wide for a free image of the rather-deceased Baer (and all other living New Jersey Legislators) to replace the existing fair use image, but until then the challenge would appear to be unjustified. Alansohn (talk) 03:04, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep as reasonable use, on the unlikelihood there's a replacement. Oddly enough, I do not find the cited no.1 rule on the page linked. It reads "in no free content is available," so since it is not yet available, the rule is met. Therule would apply, properly, to our continuing to use the image agter a free one was found to be available. Damiens, find the text you paraphrased. DGG (talk) 01:56, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
File:Batch 167.jpg (delete | talk | history | logs) - uploaded by Candlewicke (notify | contribs).
Comment: It is not generally impossible to have a free example of a TV show, especially one where new episodes have not been filmed for over a decade and the main actor is dead... it shows a character who is central to the episode. --candlewicke 21:28, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
File:4minutessticky.jpg (delete | talk | history | logs) - uploaded by Legolas2186 (notify | contribs).
  • Unjustifiable fair use image. Subjects of image are living people; this image is absolutely replaceable by a free equivalent. ÷seresin 22:34, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Illustrates an important part of the choreography and the whole dress and drama. The nominators explanation is unjustified because then music video images should also be nominated. --Legolas (talk2me) 03:46, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Even if it was needed to illustrate an important part of the choreography and the whole mess and drama (a claim which I also reject as false), there is no basis for using a non-free image. Hundreds of people have seen this performance. Free images exist. While they do, we cannot use a non-free image. ÷seresin 02:54, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, fails WP:NFCC#3a as there is already a non-free image on the page, that from the music video, which serves the same purpose. Stifle (talk) 21:23, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The images don't serve teh same purpose. The music video iamge shows an important part of the video where a screen devours everything, while the live performance video exemplifies on the costume, drama and performance of the artist. --Legolas (talk2me) 10:52, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
File:Giveit2melive.jpg (delete | talk | history | logs) - uploaded by Legolas2186 (notify | contribs).
Same reason as the one above. Also WP:NFCC#3a is utterly not justified here since the images portray two different meanings. --Legolas (talk2me) 10:54, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
File:Papadontpreach-whosthatgirltour.jpg (delete | talk | history | logs) - uploaded by Frcm1988 (notify | contribs).
  • Unjustifiable fair use image. Subject of image is a living person; this image is absolutely replaceable by a free equivalent as it has no historical significance. ÷seresin 22:43, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Illustrates an important part of the choreography and the whole dress and drama. It passed its GA nomination where the reviewer didnot find any problem with it. The nominators explanation is unjustified because then music video images should also be nominated. --Legolas (talk2me) 03:46, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Even if it is needed to illustrate an important part of the choreography and the whole mess and drama (a claim which I also reject as false), there is no basis for using a non-free image. Hundreds of people have seen this performance. Free images exist. While they do, we cannot use a non-free image. As for the GA, you'll note that the NFCC violations were cited as grounds for failing at FAC—GA reviews are practically useless for legimitacy. (As for your argument about music video images, please see WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS.) ÷seresin 03:00, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • I have told you before also please donot call others reviews and comments as useless. If free images exists, then why is it not available in commons? It is perfectly legitimate to use a non-free image untill a free equivalent exists. As pointed out, your basis of calling the image as failing NFCC#8 has also been counter-answered. Only text doesnot improve the readers understanding. --Legolas (talk2me) 07:44, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - clearly replaceable if needed with a free alternative. The text in the article covers it sufficiently so that it seems already replaced. fails NFCC#1 and 8 - Peripitus (Talk) 04:48, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
