This image was uploaded under a fair use rationale, but may fail Wikipedia's first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a free image might reasonably be found or created that adequately provides the same information. If you believe that a free replacement image can not be reasonably found or created please add one of the following:

{{Replaceable fair use disputed | Your reason why a free replacement is not available}}

or

{{Replaceable fair use disputed}}

to this page and give the reasons for your dispute on the talk page.

If this image is determined to be replaceable within one week from 8 April 2007 (15 April), the image may be deleted by any administrator. Do not remove this tag.

After adding this tag, please notify the uploader with
{{subst:replaceable|Hannah statue.jpg}} ~~~~
Also consider adding:
{{subst:refu-c}}
to the caption in article(s) the image is used to give a little advance warning that a free licensed replacement should be sought after. Adding {{reqphoto}}, or one of the more specific image request templates (listed on the reqphoto template page), to the article's talk page may also be helpful if there are no other images in the article already.

Tagger: If this image has, at the time of tagging, a rationale explaining why it is irreplaceable, please do not forget to explain on the talk page why you think that rationale is not valid. Tags applied in contravention of this requirement may be removed; if a rationale is added after the tagging, the normal process for disputing a tag should be followed.

Suggested deletion Summary:
I7 Replaceable fair use image

It is disputed whether or not this image violates our first fair use criterion.

The reason given is: This statue, designed by sculptor Bruce Wolfe was commissioned as part of MSU's sesquicentennial ceremony. It is an important landmark that showcases the modern-day evolution of the Michigan State University campus. As a public statue, there is no completely free alternative.

Closing administrator: if the decision is to Keep the image please put {{Rk}} on the image page. If the decision is to Delete please archive the discussion on the talk page between {{Rtd}} and {{Rb}} and delete the image page.
