  • The image runs counter to the information here: Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/copyright#Images which cannot be "fair use" and the underlying principle of not using material copied from existing encyclopedias and encyclopedia-like works. The image was created and used in such a context where originally published in Who's Who in the DC Universe. The uploader noted this initially. J Greb 00:27, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

  • False fair use and copyright violation. Image is not a publicly distributed image, and does not belong to the Seattle Police Department. The image is a copy of a fax that private investigator Tom Grant sent himself while in possession of Cobain's suicide note (hence the creases - it got caught in the fax machine). Grant has not released this image from copyright (and there are legal questions whether he truly could, given how it was obtained). -- ChrisB 03:56, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
  • I don't see where you got this information, can you cite it? According to his own website at [1] it states: "The note found at the scene by the police was immediately labeled as a "suicide note."" It specifically states that the note was found by police (reading other stories it was found by the electrician who found it next to an overturned flowerpot with a pen sticking through it). Once a case is closed, many parts of a case are considered public and can be released by the police department via public records excluding photos of the scene. --CobraBK 23:14, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Why do you think it is not "fair use" to use Cobain's purported suicide note in an article about Cobain? What copyrightable creative expression belonging to Grant do you think might possibly exist in a FAX of this document (assuming for the sake of argument that it is Grant's fax) that is relevant to the fair use analysis? Crypticfirefly 04:49, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, the copyright was held by Mr. Cobain, the author, and control of the copyright would have passed to his next of kin, his wife, Courtney Love. She didn't release this under a free license, so it's still under copyright. (No faxing or police investigation can change this.) As a non-free image, it doesn't pass our WP:NFCC #8, in that it doesn't portray any encyclopedic information that can't be portrayed by text. – Quadell (talk) (random) 14:55, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Non-free image of a magazine's cover used in an article that does not discuss the magazine not it's cover, and in an article about the magazine itself, where other images already do the job. Abu badali (talk) 13:51, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep For use in Yasser Arafat article as magazine cover is discussed, being the West's first mainstream exposure to Arafat after the Battle of Karameh and the formation of Fatah. I have removed the image from the Time Magazine article as unneeded.--Knulclunk 15:47, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
    • No, the magazine cover is not discussed. It's just briefly mentioned in a unsourced one-sentence passage, that doesn't needs an image to be understood. --Abu badali (talk) 16:13, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
      • KeepYes the word Time magazine is written only in one sentence, but the particular edition of the magazine discusses the Battle of Karameh which has an entire passage in the article. It also gave the world their first look at the man and in triumph. Al Ameer son 16:14, 15 August 2007 (UTC)Al Ameer son
        • Are you saying we need to use a non-free magazine cover just because the particular edition discusses an event (the Battle of Karameh) that has a section in the article? --Abu badali (talk) 12:31, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
I think the argument is that the battle, along with the Time cover, were the "coming out" events for Arafat. The cover of Time was a pivotal point in his legacy as much as the victory. The cover of Time "legitimized" him as a leader and icon.--Knulclunk 13:45, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Please Keep! Researching Khomeini, I'm getting a whiff of a connection between himself and Arafat. One source makes a connection between Khomeini's first publication (an attempt to refute the views of a prominent & popular Iranian intellectual) and this intellectual's subsequent assassination, interestingly, at the hands of the "Fedayeen". This was in 1946. The Time Magazine cover, albeit in '68, depicts Arafat as it's leader and describes them as a regional force. The article ties Arafat's early support to that of regional stooges linked to the oil industry. This one paragraph will convince no one of anything. My opinion is that it's a very telling image and it's interpretation widely misunderstood.

  • Delete, I don't see anything here that isn't replaceable by free images and text. There is also still no fair-use rationale for the image as of this writing, and I don't see how a valid one could possibly be written. Seraphimblade Talk to me 21:07, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Non-free image of a model modeling. Even assuminng that the model passes some notability criteria, this image seems to only show what the model looks like (there's no specific discussion about her work that could be aided by this illustration). Also, source info is unverifiable. Abu badali (talk) 15:59, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
  • For purposes of this discussion we can assume the model in question is notable. The article about her explains that she was the "spokesmodel" for Estee Lauder at one time. It makes sense to include a picture of her modeling on behalf of Estee Lauder to illustrate this point, which is what the uploader claims this image shows, and I believe that a fair use justification could be made in this context-- it isn't just about "what she looks like" it is about how she was presented on behalf of Estee Lauder. I would further note that no new free images of a model at the height of her modeling career in the 1970's are going to be made. Even if she's still alive, she doesn't look the same anymore! But it would be nice if the uploader had cited which magazine the image came from. Crypticfirefly 05:06, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
    • There's no discussion about "how she was presented on behalf of Estee Lauder". The article is just a collection of unsourced trivia. --Abu badali (talk) 17:02, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
    • It says she was a spokesmodel for Estee Lauder, apparently her main claim to fame. (Image description: "The subject became renowned for her association with the Lauder company.") She is a MODEL. What she looks like is highly relevant to the article. I don't see how whether the article is sourced is relevant to whether the image is being fairly used here. Please look at Wikipedia:Non-free content. There is no free equivalent for this image. It is significant to the understanding of the article. You seem to think this is unacceptable as "An image of a living person that merely shows what s/he looks like." Since famous models are famous for what they look like, I question the specific applicablity of that policy as applied to fashion models. And not to put to fine a point on it, but it doesn't show what she looks like, it shows what she looked like when she was working as a model. Further, it is NOT "potentially replaceable with a freshly produced free photograph" because the picture shows what Ms. Casey looked like in the 1980's when she was working as a model, apparently the only thing she is famous for. As the policy states under #17, examples of unacceptable use, a non-free pictures of living people are easily taken as replacements, but only when such new pictures "would serve the same encyclopedic purpose as the non-free image." Over 20 years have passed since the picture was taken. Please explain how a picture of a supermodel (who is famous only for modeling) at the height of her carreer can be replaced by a new picture of her when she is no longer a model, taken 20 years later, would serve the same encyclopedic purpose of the original image. Crypticfirefly 16:30, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, replaceable by a free image. There's nothing unique or iconic about this image that supports any commentary in the stub about the model. —Angr 19:44, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
  • I suspect that your real issue here, as well as Abu badali's is that the article is unsourced. Even though I have no particular interest in this woman or the topic, I have added some references and information. I do agree that there might be more suitible non-free images of this woman, but I disagree that a picture of her is irrelevant to the article. Crypticfirefly 21:50, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Is this the advertisement called "Great American Desert"? Because that ad is actually mentioned in the article, so most people would probably consider it nonreplaceable, and significant enough to meet WP:NFCC #8. If this isn't that ad, but some random photograph used to show what she looks like, or looked like at the height of her career, that's just not significant enough. —Angr 06:46, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
I do not know, as I am not the uploader of the image. My guess would be "no" because the copyright date on the image is 1982 and the Desert ad was in 1981. Agree that the Desert ad and/or the Helmut Newton French Vogue cover would be useful here. But can you explain why it is "not significant" to show her as she appeared while modeling for Estee Lauder, as discussed in the article? It is not a "random" image, but rather an image of that, specifically. Crypticfirefly 03:43, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Please explain how this image is replaceable. Shaun Casey doesn't look like that anymore! And she didn't look like that in the first place without lighting, professional photography, and so forth. Crypticfirefly 21:51, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
  • A free image need not be as good as the nonfree one it replaces, just adequate. In this case, text can easily convey the concept that she was a model, and a free image can serve as identification. The image is not one of iconic or historic status. Seraphimblade Talk to me 03:53, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
  • A picture of her taken today would not identify her as she was a model, and therefore would not even be adequate. Crypticfirefly 00:37, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
