  • Jayne Mansfield uses 7 non-free images, 5 of which violate WP:NFCC. Insofar as the purpose of this image is to show how she looks, it is replaceable by free images already in the article. Insofar as the purpose is illustrate the fact that she was a Playboy Playmate, that can be discussed fully in plain text. The image does not significantly increase readers’ understanding. —teb728 t c 06:17, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • This Playboy pictorial and an earlier pictorial of Marilyn Monroe were part of the emerging trend that gave birth to the large-breasted feminine ideal and men's magazines like Rogue, Nugget and Dude.[1][2] It has been conjectured that Playboy was a pioneer in starting an American "breast fetish" which has exaggerated the importance of large breasts,[3][4] as well as both Jayne Mansfield and Marilyn Monroe, featured in the early issues of the magazine, played a significant role in the process.[5] In July 1963, her naked pictures were printed with a description that went, "enjoying the luxuries of a bubble bath and a double bed".[6] The pictorial titled "The Nudest Jayne Mansfield" was banned, and Hugh Hefner, the publisher, was arrested by Chicago Police. The trial resulted in a hung jury that votes 7 to 5 for acquittal.[7] In the Lee Siegel novel Who Wrote the Book of Love?, the character Lucky Lee turns the issue of Playboy into a bribe to meet a girl.[8] Since that Jayne Mansfield fiasco, Playboy was scrutinized by the Customs Department issue-by-issue till 1967, and they found 51 issues out of 51 objectionable.[6]
Why and how such a well covered piece of art (if photography is considered as an art form) can be discounted as an historically insignificant material? Why and how the impact shall be assessed by the reader without the image? Aditya(talkcontribs) 10:34, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • That text could be included in an article without any need for an image to illustrate it. Indeed this particular image does not particularly illustrate that text. The use is purely decorative. —teb728 t c 19:01, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
File:JayneFamily.jpg (delete | talk | history | logs) - uploaded by Aditya Kabir (notify | contribs).
  • Though there is absolutely no "law" that says "thou shalt not have multiple non-free images in the same article", it seems to have offended the deletion proposer mightily. I just want to remind one small thing - that image is also used in the article on Jayne Marie Mansfield, where there is just one image. And, that image contains two dead people and a very young Jayne Marie. I don't know how we are proposing to replace this one there. Aditya(talkcontribs) 12:04, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • There absolutely is a “law” that says thou shalt not use non-free images unless they significantly increase reader’s understanding. WP:NFCC#3a does not imply that an article is entitled to use one non-free image. There is no more need for this image on Jayne Marie’s page than on any other. Although the fact that there are seven non-free images doesn’t prove anything by itself, it suggests that you have gone overboard in including them, and that suggestion is reinforced by the weakness of your replies here. —teb728 t c 19:52, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, I know I am not good at legal arguments, and I shall always show a "weakness" there. If the "law" wins over the "spirit" then so be it. I can only help with research and improvement, not argumentative diplomacy or diplomatic arguments. You win. Aditya(talkcontribs) 15:50, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Jayne Mansfield uses 7 non-free images, 5 of which violate WP:NFCC. Insofar as the purpose of this image is to illustrate the Mansfield/Hargitay marriage, the marriage is described in text, and no image is needed to illustrate it. Insofar as the purpose is to illustrate History of the bikini, there are already plenty of free photos in that article. Insofar as the purpose is to identify Miklós Hargitay, surely there must be a free image of him somewhere (although I don’t specifically know of one). If this image must be kept to identify his article, can we get a decision here that it should be removed from Jayne Mansfield and History of the bikini? —teb728 t c 06:17, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • When Mansfield and her husband Miklós Hargitay toured for stage shows, she showed a fair amount of skin in the leopard-spot bikini she wore for her stage shows.[9][10] Kathryn Wexler of The Miami Herald wrote, "In the beginning as we know it, there was Jayne Mansfield. Here she preens in leopard-print or striped bikinis, sucking in air to showcase her well noted physical assets."[11] Her leopard-skin bikini remains one of the earlier specimens of the fashion.[12]
Why and how such a well covered piece of art (if photography is considered as an art form) can be discounted as an historically insignificant material? Why and how the impact shall be assessed by the reader without the image? And, how did it boil down to - "Insofar as the purpose of this image is to illustrate the Mansfield/Hargitay marriage, the marriage is described in text, and no image is needed to illustrate it" - these antiques are big part of the subject's life and career. Aditya(talkcontribs) 11:51, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I am glad that you have now stated what the purpose of the image was supposed to be. “Illustrating the marriage” was my best guess based on the article, and the non-free use rationale gives no clue. But even with the clarification, that purpose (all but the word “Here”) could be achieved in plain text without any need for an image to illustrate it. Notice that it is understandable here without an illustration. —teb728 t c 21:00, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • An amazingly funny move that looks suspiciously like a vengeful bad faith attempt to delete images for whatever personal reason. The stated image has been removed from Jayne Mansfield article, though it stays on Jayne Mansfield: Shakespeare, Tchaikovsky & Me article. It is perfectly valid as per Wikipedia:Non-free content. Removing image from one article, while it can be perfectly retained in another is not a subject to be discussed here. Proposing a deletion is not even consistent with the proposal that "If it must be kept to identify that article, can we get a decision here that it should be removed from Jayne Mansfield". Aditya(talkcontribs) 12:00, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Perhaps you are more aware than I of the FFD process. There ought to be a process somewhere to get a definitive decision that the use of an image violates NFCC on one article even though it must kept for use on another article. If FFD is not the place, perhaps someone can say where; WP:NFCR is definitely incapable of making such a decision. (Just to be clear, this image was in use on Jayne Mansfield when I made the nomination; you removed it 5½ hours later.) —teb728 t c 20:41, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Um, what is the relevance of that comment supposed to be? As I understand it, that edit says that you had made a false accusation of vandalism in a content dispute. If you have a problem accepting WP:AGF, perhaps Wikipedia is not the place for you. —teb728 t c 20:41, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Now I suspect seriously that bad faith is involved. If someone goes around making accusations about an editor on the basis of an edit summary auto-generated by WP:Twinkle and then another comes to validate the accusation, perhaps we are forgetting that WP:AGF pretty specifically advises to demonstrate good faith. Aditya(talkcontribs) 15:34, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Now I am more confused than ever about what point you are trying to make in this subthread, but since it apparently has nothing to do with this FFD, I will continue the discussion on your user talk page. —teb728 t c 23:48, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Although there is now no reason to think about deleting this file, I hope to get a reply to the question of whether FFD can decide to remove a file from an article without deleting the file. —teb728 t c 04:38, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Replaceable drawing of a guy. Either some wikipedia should make a free drawing, or some effort should be made to find a non-free picture of this guy, since he was 58 in 1923 (maybe this image is PD, but we need better source information (all we have for now is the blog/wiki findagrave)). Damiens.rf 14:34, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • As the artist died 90 years ago the painting should be in Public Domain. If someone would use the proper tag it would be greatly appreciated. Doctalk 23:29, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • Found what I believe is the proper PD template and added to the image. Doctalk 00:29, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        • Please don't remove the deletion tag next time. Now we need a real source to be sure it's a painting by Fred Yates as stated. FindaGrave is just a blog/wiki, and not a reliable source. The other link given doesn't take me to the image. Can you help on that? --Damiens.rf 13:03, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
          • I can cite a book in which it is published and identified as a painting by Fred Yates during the period he was in the Lake District. Where should that be placed? It was a fronticpiece in JHB's autobiography "Memories and Reflections" published in 1955 which is in the article's Bibliography. It had also been identified on the School's webpage, which is why that was listed originally. Doctalk 13:18, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question - In this edit {{PD-Art}} was applied with an edit summary of Public Domain - artist dead for 90 years. If I interpret this correctly, that edit summary is implying that Fred Yates died at least 90 years ago. According to his his linked article he died in 2008. The license says: "...this means that it was first published prior to January 1, 1923...". This seems unlikely as Fred Yates would have been roughly 1 year old at the time. Is there something I'm missing here?--Rockfang (talk) 16:26, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Bit more clarification? According to the ODNB entry for JHB there was a painting done in oils by Yates completed in 1921, (which I guess is where the 90 years ago hails from) ODNB says the image was photographed and reproduced in Wake and Denton's book on Bedales School and then reproduced again in Brandreth and Henry's, book of John Haden Badley.Tmol42 (talk) 14:03, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - The confusion has been cleared. This is in the public domain.--Rockfang (talk) 21:35, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This user has already tried to speedy delete this file, but the deletion was already declined by User:Jclemens. See Revision history of File:Madonna Confessions Remixed.jpg PopMusicBuff talk 21:39, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
A declined speedy does not rule out the use of other forms of deletion. WuhWuzDat 18:32, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
An admin has already declined your deletion request, so I dont know what you plan to gain from reporting it here. Anyways, I don't really see how this is "advertisement" or "spam". I uploaded a file to be used on this Wikipedia page in accordance with WP:UL for the section "The cover of an album or single" PopMusicBuff talk 21:39, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
When you created the page, you stated that the "Purpose of use" was "To advertise Madonna's album Confessions Remixed", this is a clear violation of WP:NOTADVERTISING. WuhWuzDat 19:00, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, because that's what any cover art for any album or single does; it advertises the music in a way that is visually appealing to its marketing target. This doesn't fall under CSD G11 PopMusicBuff talk 21:39, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
CSD is no longer relevant, this is a separate deletion process. WuhWuzDat 19:21, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I was right about to change that just now to WP:NOTADVERTISING as I just realized that now. But there were conflicting edits. PopMusicBuff talk 21:39, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Fails WP:NFCC#3a as multiple covers are used when one would suffice. — Σxplicit 20:16, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Essentially it's a different album, with quite different cover art. Therefore the other cover does not suffice -- this second cover does indeed improve reader understanding, by showing them the identifying (different) cover art for this different album, and allowing them to identify it. That is fully in step with the guideline at WP:NFC on what is permissible. Jheald (talk) 10:54, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Note, the file uploader removed the other cover art, and replaced it with this image of the alternative cover very recently. WuhWuzDat 14:59, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I hadn't realised that. Okay, let me modify my !vote to keep either File:Madonna Confessions Remixed.jpg or File:ConfessionsRemixed.jpg but not both (unless a very good case can be made that the second cover was in its own right a significant release).
Someone should probably also check with Explicit (talk · contribs), as to whether removal of the first image has satisfied their objection too. Jheald (talk) 16:08, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Is there a consensus as to, out of the two, which one is the cover that should be preferred? Jheald (talk) 16:12, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Due to the "advertising" concerns I expressed above, I would prefer to keep File:ConfessionsRemixed.jpg, and delete the other. WuhWuzDat
Seems to me that's a side issue. If it's of concern, just replace the rationale with a standard template {{Album cover fur}}.

  • Alternative cover is not discussed, nor is it of any importance. Use of a non-free image is not justified. J Milburn (talk) 21:03, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment This cover is quite different to the other. If a caption were added, to say when or where this alternative cover was used, i.e. clarifying whether it was widely distributed and/or replaced the original, then an argument could be made to keep it. Jheald (talk) 10:41, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. A caption would not be enough. In order to pass WP:NFCC#8 it probably would need (sourced) critical commentary discussing the cover(s) in a way that showing the other cover was needed for readers' understanding. —teb728 t c 23:42, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not true. Showing the identifying cover of a sufficiently significant release or re-release is in itself considered to add significantly to the understanding a reader gets from the article.

  • Keep the guideline is clear on this; "If the game is not developed in an English-language region use the cover from the region in which the game receives its first English language release, unless another English language version has been uploaded first in which case don't change it." If there is a genuine problem with the file type or quality then replace with an appropriate one from the same region. Someoneanother 12:40, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
