KeepThe PNG version is currently placed/linked on over 200 articles, user pages, and user talk pages. What really needs to happen is for someone to replace it on article pages with the SVG version, which I fully support, but can't do. Then what about the user and talk pages that will have a broken image link? Is there a policy on that? Are we now removing all PNG files that have an SVG version? As the uploader/creator of the PNG version, I'm not attached to it staying or being deleted. Someone just needs to make sure that all the pages that currently have the image are taken care of. ॐ Priyanath talk 15:10, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

- Impressive, but unnesary non-free image showing three million people protesting in the streets, used to illustrate the information that three million people protested in the streets. It doesn't help on the articles comprehension in a way that words alone can not. Abu badali (talk) 15:14, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- The image satisfies all fair use criteria. --seav 01:40, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
- No free equivalent. This picture was taken more than 20 years ago way back before the concept of free content was pervasive in Philippine society. You won't find any other image of the EDSA revolution that's not copyrighted.
- Respect for commercial opportunities. and Resolution/fidelity. The image is of a very low resolution.
- Previous publication. This image was published in People Power: The Philippine Revolution of 1986: An eyewitness history and other books.
- Content and Media-specific policy. It's quite encyclopedic, of course. If you argue that it's not encyclopedic, then you really don't know about the EDSA Revolution.
- One-article minimum and Restrictions on location. Used only in three important encyclopedia articles.
- Significance. Again, if you don't think this image is significant, then you really don't know anything about the EDSA Revolution and should net make judgement on the image's significance.
- Image description page. I've added an extensive fair-use rationale on the description page that essentially states what I said above.
- This nomination only concerns Significance, and I'm afraid you're mistaking a "significant event" by a "significant copyrighted work". We don't need to see an image of people gathering to understand the discussion about this significant event. --Abu badali (talk) 02:07, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
- You probably don't care because you're not Filipino, but as a person that goes through this avenue everyday, this picture speaks volumes about the magnitude of an event that I couldn't remember because I was a kid back then. You might not need a picture that depicts "estimated one to three million people filled EDSA from Ortigas Avenue all the way to Cubao" but others, especially Filipinos do need to see it to understand the extreme significance of the event. How else can you depict People Power, which was popularized by the EDSA Revolution, than by showing the people that filled up EDSA despite the threat of military action against them? Have you even read the article? --seav 09:29, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
- As I said in the nomination, this is an impressive image. But again, no, it's not necessary for the understanding of a discussion about the event. --Abu badali (talk) 12:35, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
- We can argue back and forth about the significance of the image with respect to the article in question but this is really a subjective thing. You're saying the picture's not significant and not needed, I'm saying it is. I'm very much opposed for this image to get deleted just because you think it's not needed. I'll say again: the picture depicts the event in question and provides a depth of understanding for Filipinos than just simply saying "one to three million filled up EDSA." You, on the other hand, have not given any convincing arguments as to why it's insignificant; you're just saying it isn't. --seav 15:49, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
- Yes I have. I say this image, although useful, is not necessary to the article because we can understand that there was an incredible volumes of people on the streets that day just by reading the article's text. This is not nearly as subjective as you say. --Abu badali (talk) 17:05, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

- The image satisfies all fair use criteria. --seav 01:40, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. As the other guy has stated, the image is extremely significant as a snapshot of a historic event. The photograph is more-or-less synonymous with other classic photographs such as Jack Ruby shooting Lee Harvey Oswald, or the lone man standing against the tank in Tianenmen Square. The photograph is not simply there to illustrate that three million people protested, it is meant to show how the event occurred. One suggestion though. Change the image's tag to the {Non-free historic image} to avoid any further problems with such obviously locally-historic (hence most people not aware of the context of the image) images. Shrumster 20:02, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
- NOTICE
- User Shrumster has posted a comment on a noticeboard asking people to "add some weight" to this discussion (together with some personal attacks on me). Please, before commenting, remember that this is not a vote! No matter how many keeps or deletes we have, the closing admin will judge based on our policy. This nomination, for instance, concerns item #8 of our policy, that says that non-free images are only used when they "increase readers' understanding of the topic" in a way that words alone can't. Nobody doubts that the event depicted on this image is immeasurably significant. Repeating how important this event is doesn't makes a case for keeping the image. --Abu badali (talk) 21:56, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
- How can readers understand the significance of the topic when there is no photo? If you'd remove the photograph, the events in the article looks like an ordinary coup attempt, or worse, a protest rally. --Howard the Duck 02:52, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
- Abu badali, no one's saying that this is a vote; only you inferred that. Also, you are being paranoid if you consider Shrumster's comments to be a personal attack. Going back to the discussion: Of course the debate on whether a photo is significant is subjective. It's like saying whether a photo is beautiful or not. It's just your personal opinion when you say that you don't need to see a photo of a crowd of people filling up a street. I'm saying otherwise: seeing the photo increases the reader's understanding of how important the event is than mere words and that makes the photo significant. It's a cliché, but the saying that "a picture is worth a thousand words" is very applicable in this case. --Seav 04:31, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
- NOTICE
- User Abu badali had a RfC and a RfA regarding his activities in tagging fair-use images for deletion. (Just to be transparent.)
- That ended on July 31, just several days ago. --Howard the Duck 05:31, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
- Speedy Keep. Historic, irreproducible, a picture says a thousand words, falls under fair use. This would be one of the last pictures needed to be deleted by deletionists. There are a lot of other nonsense fair use images that do not contribute to the betterment of an article that should be hunted down. For all intents and purposes, this IfD is a farce. Berserkerz Crit 16:13, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
- Lol. I suggest Abu badali target other images, like those crazy TV screenshots on episode lists or fair use images of living people (since those has a chance of having freer alternatives). Deleting historically images such as this one is ludicrous and, promotes hate and dissention, and is a waste on Wikipedia servers. --Howard the Duck 06:41, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
- I have strengthened the fair use rationale section of the image's description page, and paid particular attention to FUC#8, which seems to be the only point of contention regarding the image's fair use in Wikipedia. --seav 18:44, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, I don't think that rationale changes the situation. The rationale repeats the mistake of most comments above and in the Philippines talk: It explains the Significance of the event, instead of the significance of the image. And it goes on to say that the image is necessary because "readers generally have trouble comprehending or visualizing such a large gathering...", which is something I simply can't agree with. --Abu badali (talk) 21:38, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
- The significance of the event rubs off to the image; the image is significant since it refers to a significant moment in a nation's history; if the image's subject was a robbery in a downtown eatery then I'm all for deleting it. --Howard the Duck 03:40, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

The image is non-reproducible, depicts a once in a lifetime event, and speaks volume than words can do. This IfD is just plain wrong. SPEEDY KEEP. Berserkerz Crit 11:31, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. "Fair use can allow an otherwise infringing use of a photo where it is the photo itself -- not what is depicted in the photo -- that is news." (David Tomlin, Associate General Counsel of The Associated Press) [1]. howcheng {chat} 17:46, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
- But there are other types of fair uses. Just because the photo itself is not the subject of the article does not automatically mean that the infringing use is not fair use. Your "delete" reason is a logical fallacy. --seav 05:04, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
- Huh?? The photo itself is the news? Maybe for other photos, but not this one. The news is what the photo depicts, and that is millions of Filipinos gathering in the streets! And there is no infringement here because it is a low resolution and small sized picture. For god's sake. Someone close this AfD already. Berserkerz Crit 09:42, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
- The photo itself was news. It's used in countless elementary and high school textbooks. The photo may have been published in underground newspapers prior to its mainstream debut in a book, hence more people turned up. But don't expect sources for that statement though, unless you can prove the internet existed in the Philippines on 1986. --Howard the Duck 16:37, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
Delete It's non-descript. People Power 1 was one of the most amazing events of the 20th century. It set the stage for the peaceful end to the Cold War and the democratic revolution of SE Asia, Latin America and beyond. But THIS picture is nothing spectacular To those who are very familiar with the area - EDSA- it is spectacular, but for the majority of English speakers it is an indestinquishable mob of people. How many? Could be thousands; could be millions. Philippines? Could be. Most noticeable part of the picture - the guys on the lamposts and THAT says nothing about EDSA. It reminds me of the rallies in Boston after the Boston Celtics (basketball team) won the championship. This picture is that non-descript. This picture does not capture the uniqueness of the event in any way. Now, if it was the more famous photo of the nuns and the tanks, that would be a keeper. That picture that was seen around the world. (By the way, the "you're not a Filipino" is not an argument for or against the picture. It is a statement of racial classification. Be careful of racist thinking.)--Bruce Hall 16:59, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

- Do you know that this image, the video especially, is replayed a countless times since Aquino's assasination on national TV? --Howard the Duck 04:37, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
- Considering that information is not in the article, I don't see how I'm supposed to automatically know that. Still, my objection stands. There's no need for us to infringe on copyright in order to show the man lying in the street. If you remove the image, the reader still gets the same understanding that he was assassinated. Thus, WP:NFCC #8 is not satisfied. howcheng {chat} 16:25, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
- The man wasn't just like, "lying on the street", he was assassinated, live on national TV, in broad daylight, replayed several times since 1981, and wasn't just any homeless fellow. Tell me how is that not historical. --Howard the Duck 10:49, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
- You're completely missing the point. Nobody is saying the the assassination wasn't historical. We're disputing the assertion that the readers needs to see this screegrab to understand the text about the assassination. You may not like it, but it's a requirement from our policy. --Abu badali (talk) 12:22, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
- You're missing the point, too. The video of this is replayed perhaps a thousand times since 1981, on any TV network, and certainly so within the next few days (August 21 is Benigno Aquino day). That alone makes this video, and this screenshot in particular, makes it historical. Also, being RPN 9 is a state-sequestered TV network (compare it to PBS or BBC), making all contents PD, but with certain restrictions (see {{PhilippinesGov with fair use}}), and additions of fair use rationales would be enough, since the Philippine national government content are uncopyrightable.
- With that said, if you can make this image deleted, then you may go ahead and delete images such as this one. --Howard the Duck 14:02, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
- You're completely missing the point. Nobody is saying the the assassination wasn't historical. We're disputing the assertion that the readers needs to see this screegrab to understand the text about the assassination. You may not like it, but it's a requirement from our policy. --Abu badali (talk) 12:22, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
- The man wasn't just like, "lying on the street", he was assassinated, live on national TV, in broad daylight, replayed several times since 1981, and wasn't just any homeless fellow. Tell me how is that not historical. --Howard the Duck 10:49, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
- Considering that information is not in the article, I don't see how I'm supposed to automatically know that. Still, my objection stands. There's no need for us to infringe on copyright in order to show the man lying in the street. If you remove the image, the reader still gets the same understanding that he was assassinated. Thus, WP:NFCC #8 is not satisfied. howcheng {chat} 16:25, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
- Do you know that this image, the video especially, is replayed a countless times since Aquino's assasination on national TV? --Howard the Duck 04:37, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
- Comment Reading this discussion, I have an idea. How about making an article about the video clip itself? Seeing as it has been replayed countless times on TV, some movies, used as evidence in several court cases and governmental investigations, documentaries, etc. Seems like a pretty notable video on its own even without the context. Shrumster 08:51, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
- Comment added hidden comment (info + ref) on the article as it is almost impossible to create article based on online citations alone. However, the added info should keep deletionists at bay for a little while and should borrow you time in case you find some citations from books. Can somebody blend it to the article for me? I'm little stressed out during weekdays but I think the IfD is here for a long time so I put some info there just in case they're planning to delete it. I'll try to find refs for the other images if my mind permits me. --Lenticel (talk) 09:37, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
It is in Benigno Aquino, Jr., forgot to put the article's name--Lenticel (talk) 05:26, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
- As long as the article is completely sourced and contains no original research, (and considering the article will be more than just a description of the videoclip), keeping the image could be considered. --Abu badali (talk) 12:22, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
- Keep - please keep the image. that image changed the the destiny of our country. that might be gross or what, but that scene awakened the consciousness of the filipinos at that time and they started to fight for their freedom.
- Comment Just realized something. From the appearance/format of the time on the pic and the logo on the upper right, this is a still from RPN-9. At the time (and currently), the station was owned/controlled by the Philippine Government. This was more than ten years prior to June 1997 when the Intellectual Property Code (R.A. 8293) of the Philippines was first officialized. This means that the photo/video is most probably in the public domain as the IPC isn't retroactive. Shrumster 16:39, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

- Unnecessary non-free image showing a politician taking her oath as President. It doesn't add any noteworthy information that isn't already conveyed with text. Abu badali (talk) 15:20, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
Keep Public Domain Image as per Philippine copyright law for works created by the Philippine Government. No reason to delete.--Knulclunk 02:01, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- Dispute what the Philippine government calls "Public domain" is actually a non-commercial licensing ("...prior approval is needed if a government work will be used for making a profit"). --Abu badali (talk) 13:22, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- Delete --Knulclunk 04:31, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
- How is this picture insignificant that it can only be described with text? It is Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo taking her oath as the 14th President of the Philippines, the pinnacle of the 2001 EDSA Revolution. At least the Philippine government recognizes its significance (of both the event, which it conveys, and the picture itself): it's on the back of every 200-peso bill. If I were to compare this to the more famous 1986 EDSA Revolution, this would be tantamount to the oath-taking of Corazon Aquino. --Sky Harbor 02:33, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
- Keep per rationale for use of historic images. Said politician is not simply "taking an oath as President." The event depicted herein is not a simple procedural taking of office but an unprecedented move in which a vice president was sworn in as president after the president seemingly left the position but recanted/reinterpreted his statement as not actually stepping down from the position after. Point is, it is a significant point in the history of the relevant country and this picture is more-or-less one of the iconic images of that said event. Shrumster 08:54, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
- Keep one of the last appearance of Jaime Cardinal Sin and is also found in our 200 peso bill. I believe that means it is neccessary.--Lenticel (talk) 09:58, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

- Delete. For all the Philippines images so far that I've seen in today's log, this is the most egregious. This is so not necessary to understanding the text. It adds nothing to the article and the reader's comprehension would not be hampered one bit if it were to be removed. howcheng {chat} 18:04, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
- Oh really? How would a reader understand the significance of EDSA 2 when without the picture, the reader won't see that the Cardinal and Chief Justice of the Philippines went out of their way along with of course then Vice-President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo to give her the oath to be the President in EDSA avenue, not the usual place where would-be Presidents should be swearing the oath. Berserkerz Crit 09:47, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
- When you ask "...how would a reader understand...", are you seriously arguing that this information can only be conveyed graphically? --Abu badali (talk) 16:08, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

- The act was historic, not the photo. I don't see how anyone needs a photo to understand that Arroyo was sworn in as president. howcheng {chat} 16:18, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
- Comment. That's just the thing. She wasn't simply just "sworn in as president." To say so would be simplifying the event. I believe that the source of your misconception would be the weakness of the article text rather than the supposed irrelevance of the image. If the image were to be deleted now, then the article sufficiently bulked up in order to establish the significance of the image in the article and then the image reuploaded, would you have any objections to that? Shrumster 08:56, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
- Do you believe the article can really be "bulked up" to establish the significance of the image? Are you sure you don't mean establishing the significance of the event depicted? Can you do that without violating Wikipedia:No original research? To put it simple, do you know about any reliable source that discussed about this image (the image itself, not the event)? --Abu badali (talk) 12:27, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

- Keep. Full size version of the image [2] from the official website of the Swedish Football Association has the legend "WSP Arkitektur / Berg Arkitektkontor / HOK Sport / Roman Wozniak Arkitekter". Copyright in the image is likely owned either by the architects or the Swedish F.A. Either way, use of a low-res version is not likely to be a problem for NFCC #2. Rationale provided by the uploader is entirely appropriate -- how else are you supposed to show what a stadium not due to be built until 2010-2011 looks like, except from the architects' drawings?

- "The image depicts a unrepeatable event"
- Yes, but still we don't need to show an image to discuss this unrepeatable event.
- "The event was very very important for the team in question because [insert your reason here]."
- I'm not saying the event shouldn't be discussed in the article. I'm saying the discussion can be understood without an image.
- "One image is worth a thousand words"
- Per NFCC#8, we prefer a thousand freely licensed words to one non-free image. And, lucky enough, the noteworthy encyclopedic information contained in this image can be conveyed with far less than a thousand words.
- "NFCC#8 is bogus, as any image can be replaced by text."
- No. Some subjects are difficult or impossible to be adequately discussed in a educational context without the help of imagery. The event depicted on this image is not one for those cases.
- "This is copyright paranoia"
- This has nothing to do with either or not this image's use is legal. It's about either this image can be replaced by text that serves a similar function.
- "The nominator has an RFC and Arb case against him, he's a stalker"
