The assertion that the use of this image qualifies as fair use has been disputed by Fut.Perf. ☼. Further information may be available below or on the image's talk page. Please provide a rationale as to why this image qualifies as fair use. If no acceptable rationale can be provided, this image may be nominated for deletion in the future. To the tagger: Please notify the uploader with: {{subst:No fair|Image:Simeon the great of bulgaria.jpg}} ~~~~ If no satisfactory rationale has been provided after 48 hours (or 7 days in the case of images uploaded before July 2006), please tag this page with {{db-badfairuse}} Admins: if you can determine the fair-use claim to be valid, please remove this tag and consider adding {{reviewedfairuse|date=~~~~~|user=~~~|pages=article name}} instead.

The only rationale provided above for the fair use claim is that the images have been "reduced in resolution". This is very far from being a sufficient criterion for fair use.

Our usage of the image contains no "transformative" element ([4]), in particular, there is no element of criticism or commentary on the image itself.

See WP:FAIR#Counterexamples: an historic painting used to merely illustrate the object depicted in the painting; or an image of a person used to merely show what they look like, are not normally fair use. In fact, this image fails to even "show what they look like", since it is not an authentic portrait but a mere product of a modern painter's imagination. Hence, it blatantly fails criterion 8 of our policy, of "contributing significantly to the article". It is mere decoration.
