There is no evidence that the original photograph was ever released under a free license. This makes the free license of the photograph of the photograph invalid. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 00:21, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Non-free image which is being used in
- Keep subject is deceased and no similar free image has been found. While a few images of the subject do exist, they are not showing the individual as clearly and prominently, nor do they feature the subject. While cropping is often used, my experience is that it is a last resort. This image and others like it are widely available on the internet so there is no harm in also showing it here.--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:46, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
- The subject is deceased, but either of the two Commons images could serve, in my opinion, basically the same encyclopedic purpose per NFCC#1 as the non-free one. Moreover, I don't think "being widely available on the Internet" means that an image is considered to satisfy the WP:NFCC#8 problems with respect to "Modern history of American football". One of the freely licensed Commons image defintiely should be used there. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:32, 22 December 2015 (UTC)]

Non-free logo being used in
- Keep we commonly use logos in articles about the subject matter. Reasonable usage applies as the AFL is a strong part of the history. I have no objection to beefing up the content of the articles in question to reflect that.--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:48, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Non-free image being used in
- Keep image shows the specific event in action, including the camera, broadcaster, and game. That's the subject of the whole article--it's not decorative, it's the topic in question. As for the history article, it might be removed from that article but that does not warrant deletion of the image. That's an editing issue, not a deletion issue.--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:50, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
- Keep It could be argued that the image is an essential component of the fact stated in the article. The event - the very first broadcast is one of the key events in in american football history. Because of the fact in the article is regarding a visual event, a photograph of the event corresponds to the nature of what happened and its presence also highlights the importance of what happened. Rybkovich (talk) 02:22, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
- Perhaps the image is an "essential component of the facts" stated in the stand-alone article about the game, but I don't that's the case for the history article. There's no information provided in the sentence "NBC broadcast the first televised college football game ever between Waynesburg and Fordham on September 30, 1939, on station W2XBS with one camera and Bill Stern was the sole announcer. Estimates are that the broadcast reached approximately 1,000 television sets" which requires the use of a non-free image and which the reader will not understand if such an image is omitted per NFCC#8. A wikilink to the stand-alone article about the game where the reader can see the image is more than sufficient. The same sentence also mentions W2XBS, but we do not need images for them. They are wikilinked within the article itself which what should be done for that game. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:57, 31 December 2015 (UTC)]
- I just edited the article so it would be more clear that it is the first american football television broadcast ever, not just between those two teams. That broadcast is the first step in what became one of the most significant changes to the game.

- - NFCC#8 - "Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the article topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding."
- - The presence emphasizes the importance of the event. The article is regarding the highlights of the history of the sport, the image emphasizes the enormous importance of that event. Unless there is a detailed discussion regarding what happened a reader of the history may not realize the importance of the fact. The detailed emphasis would be out of place as the article is broad and very long already. A wiki link on its own can generate the miss impression that the fact is a side issue.Rybkovich (talk) 03:37, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
- There are two parts to NFCC#8, the last part being "and its [the non-free image's] omission would be detrimental to that understanding." Omitting the image or wikilinking to the stand-alone article about the game does not "de-emphazize" the importance/significance of the event in any way or turn it into a side issue. Wikilinks are for taking readers to other Wikipedia articles where something relevant is being discussed in more detail. It's exactly because "the article is broad" and does not contain any sourced commentary of the image itself that usage of the image is mainly decorative and not needed for the reader to understand that the the first televised American football game ever was between Waynesburg and Fordham on September 30, 1939. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:31, 31 December 2015 (UTC)]
- Agree to disagree. You make good points. I assume our rules are based on US fair use copyright law. If I have time I'll look into the key cases and see how they could be used as a guide on this specific issue. I'll follow up if I find something on point. For how long more will this discussion continue and how will it be ultimately decided? Rybkovich (talk) 08:00, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
- Just for reference, WP:NFCstates that "Non-free content can be used on Wikipedia in certain cases (for example, in some situations where acquiring a freely licensed image for a particular subject is not possible), but only within the United States legal doctrine of fair use, and in accordance with Wikipedia's own non-free content criteria as set out below. The use of non-free content on Wikipedia is therefore subject to purposely stricter standards than those laid down in U.S. copyright law." (I underlined the last part for emphasis)
- FFD discussions typically last a minimum of seven days, but sometimes it takes a bit longer for a disucssion to be resolved. I believe the normal process is not too different from AFD in that typically an administrator will review the arguments of both sides and ]
