It is noted on this page that it should be possible to find a free use image of the Princess. I believe that to be very difficult. The general public is rarely given oportunities to take good pictures of the royal children. It is also a general agreement between the royal family and the press not to publish images of them taken in an unauthorised manor. This should also be honoured by wikipedia in order to protect the privacy of children. We are thus left with official photos as the only reasonable way to obtain good pictures of the Norwegian Royal children.Inge 11:38, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

This is a tough call. – Quadell (talk) (random) 21:07, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
I have the same concern regarding an image of Prince Christian of Denmark listed the same way. The royal family draws some very sharp limits around part of their personal life and they are very protective of their children. Valentinian (talk) / (contribs) 16:42, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Just for the record, I missed them the first time, but I've also tagged the images of Prince Nikolai and Prince Felix of Denmark with "replaceable fair use disputed". I'm not concerned when it comes to the adult members of the Royal family, but in particular the Queen is *very* protective towards her grandchildren. I remember an interview about whatever when HM suddenly asked the press to give the younger members of her family more breathing space. It was around the time of the divorce between Prince Joachim and Princess Alexandra, but there is little reason to suspect that her attitude should have changed.

  • The best way to honour the subject of any article might be to remove any images completely from the servers of the Wikimedia foundation. However, such considerations are not really specific to this image. Since the same argument could be made regarding every replaceable fair use image, it actually concerns policy in general. (The issue of stalking was brought up at Wikipedia talk:Fair use).
  • The image is only being used to illustrate the subject in question (which violates WP:FUC criterion #1), and does not serve to illustrate any specific portion of the text of the article. The image does not depict a non-repeatable event either.
  • Furthermore, the opportunity to replace this image with a freely licensed photograph will probably present itself sometime in the future (since the image depicts a living person). Therefore the image is replaceable. --Oden 00:25, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article meets Wikipedia fair use criteria

I would suggest that this picture meets all the Wikipedia:Fair use criteria, as follows: 1. The amount of copyrighted work used should be as little as possible. Low-resolution images should be used instead of high-resolution images (especially images that are so high-resolution that they could be used for piracy). Do not use multiple images or media clips if one will serve the purpose adequately.

Evaluation: Single low resolution image used.

2. Fair use images may be used only in the article namespace.

Evaluation: Used in appropriate article namespaces (Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway and Norwegian Monarchy).

3. The image or media description page must contain:

  • 3-a Proper attribution of the source of the material, and attribution of the copyright holder (if it is different).
Evaluation: Source and attribution provided.
  • 3-b An appropriate fair use tag indicating which Wikipedia policy provision permitting the use is claimed. A list of image tags can be found on the Wikipedia:Image_copyright_tags#Fair_use page.
Evaluation: Provided.
Evaluation: Provided through this commentary.

  • Wikipedia:Fair use criteria #1: "No free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information. [...] However, if the subject of the photograph still exists, a freely-licensed photograph could be taken."
  • Wikipedia:Fair_use#Counterexamples #8 "An image of a living person that merely shows what they look like." --Oden 00:25, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
