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]

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]

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]

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.

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]

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]
Speedily deleted, as per uploader's own request. Thanks for being so careful about your own uploads. Fut.Perf. ☼ 11:44, 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]

Comment - please note, another version of this flag exists on commons.--MacRusgail (talk) 15:18, 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]
