Replaceable non-free use
In response to the "disputed fair use" template added ot the file's page, I just want to further clarify why this file was nominated for deletion. This non-free file is currently be used in three articles (
WP:NFCCE
. There are, however, other non-free content issues with the file which mean that a valid non-free use rationale can be written for it for any of the three articles given the way it is currently be used.
The subject of the photo Daivd Joiner is still living and non-free images are almost never allowed for the encyclopedic purposes of primary identification per
WP:NFC#UUI
). There's no reasonable reason given as to why a non-free file cannot be found or created: simply not being able to find one online at the moment does not preclude the fact that one could possibly be created by someone sometime in the future. This might seem to be a strict standard, but it the one consistently being applied to non-free use such as this.
The claim that the file is old or unique is also not in and of itself a valid justification for non-free use for the reasons explained in
WP:NFCC#8
. Joiner and the game he designed are mentioned by name in all three articles, but there is no article content in which seeing this particular photo significantly improves the reader's understanding to such a degree that not seeing this photo would be detrimental to that understanding. The reader does not need to see Joiner to understand that he designed the game, so the file seems to have been added just to show Joiner, not as part of any sourced discussion of the photo; therefore, removing it from these three articles would not be detrimental to the reader's understanding of their respective content in any way.
So the file's non-free use in these three articles fails
WP:JUSTONE since all ten non-free content criteria need to be satisfied for each use of a non-free file. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:27, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply
