This Wikipedia page is currently inactive and is retained primarily for historical interest. Per Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines: "A historical page is any proposal for which consensus is unclear, where discussion has died out for whatever reason. Historical pages also include any process no longer in use, or any non-recent log of any process. Historical pages can be revived by advertising them. "
If you want to revive discussion regarding the subject, you should seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump.

I propose an amendment to point 8 of WP:FUC, which currently reads:

"The material must contribute significantly to the article (e.g. identify the subject of an article, or specifically illustrate relevant points or sections within the text) and must not serve a purely decorative purpose."

that it should be clarified by appending:

"Specifically, content must be essential information that can't be conveyed with text, and itself subject of significant discussion. Any other use is considered decorative."

"Specifically, images content[1] must be the subject of significant discussion and provide[2] essential information that can't be conveyed with text, and itself subject of significant discussion[2] or a free alternative[3]. Any other use is considered decorative."
