[edit] Replaceable fair use
The image is of something that hasn't existed for 36 years. If a free use image is available, it should have been uploaded rather then posting the RFU template.--Lord Kinbote 00:19, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
- But there are plenty of other free images in the article. Why do you need this specific one? As of right now, it fails WP:FUC criterion 8. It's serving a decorative purpose only. howcheng {chat} 00:37, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, it DOES "...identify the subject of [the] article, [and] specifically illustrate[s] relevant points or sections within the text..." — the image even has a detailed caption that demonstrates its relevance, as do each of the other images in the article.--Lord Kinbote 00:44, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
- In further reply, each of the images in the article (including the free ones) illustrate different aspects of the subject matter. This is in effect a history article, on a subject that changed significantly over time.--Lord Kinbote 01:00, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
- If other free images are already "identify[ing] the subject of the article", then this one is not needed. The caption only describes the picture, I don't see how it demonstrates the image relevance to the article. The section containing the picture doesn't seem to need an image to me. --Abu Badali 01:09, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

- Can I assume you have no background in writing railroad history articles? The image show specific pieces of equipment, bearing a specific paint scheme, traveling through an identified place, at an identified time, all important to the article's subject matter. Each image has been carefully chosen to show various aspects of the California Zephyr without redundancy. If you carefully read the entire article you will see that all of the images fit within this context.--Lord Kinbote 02:01, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think it can justifiably be argued that the picture serves NO purpose but decoration within the article. It's on topic and relevant, and illustrates an aspect of the California Zephyr not shown in any other image. We're then left with the discussion as to whether it's a significant purpose or not.

OK, I'm convinced. howcheng {chat} 04:58, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for your attention to this matter.--Lord Kinbote 05:02, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
I'm sorry, but I really miss wha't the irrepeatable relevant thing depicted on the image. I ask this in good faith! --Abu Badali 23:11, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
