Non-free cover art being used in

WP:NFC#UUI. Although there is some sourced discussion of the cover art in the Grossman article, the subject is also covered in Bringing It All Back Home#Cover art. Moreover, the non-free use rationale as written probably needs to be tweaked to more accurately reflect the way the file is being used in the article since it cannot be used in the main infobox to identify Grossman herself. Probably a different non-free template should be used instead. Suggest keep for the stand-alone album, but would like other opinions on the use in "Sally Grossman". -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:47, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply

The result of the discussion was: delete. The copyright law is clear here. The only "leeway" is when a copyright holder dies and the copyright passes onto their beneficiaries, usually descendants. As for husband/wife, we need the photographer to submit permission via OTRS for this. ~ Rob13Talk 13:38, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the media below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the media's ). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was: Delete for two reasons. First, these are orphaned and seem unlikely to be used anytime soon, which led Deryck C. to say he was fine with deletion. Second, we have no OTRS verification of the identity of the uploader, who is a specific notable person. The uploader does not claim to be the copyright holder but claims to represent them, and such claims must go through OTRS as per current policy. As Czar points out, they're usually incorrect. ~ Rob13Talk 13:45, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - I've initially closed this as "keep" per GreenReaper's argument but reopened this on Czar's request (see User talk:Deryck Chan#Furcadia). On further discussion and investigation, I found that Wikipedia file policy at the time of this image's upload did not require OTRS notification for previously published material.[1] Given the image description and User:Sanct's userpage, I think it would be an undue assumption of bad faith to claim that the uploader didn't have the rights to donate the material, unless we have direct evidence from Furcadia to the contrary. But I'll be happy to accept delete as orphan because it seems that these image haven't been used on the Furcadia article for some time already. Deryck C. 08:56, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep local vs. Commons

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the media below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the media's ). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. This is a crazy nomination, frankly. It's no surprise we haven't come to any consensus, since so many files by many different uploaders have been nominated. With so many different arguments floating around and the nominator wishing to withdraw and an exception being carved out for a single uploader, it's impossible to find consensus either way here. ~ Rob13Talk 13:52, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A list of files that can be deleted because they are now available on commons. They are tagged with {{Keep local}}, but I see no reason to keep them here instead of commons.

  • ACTUALLY, looking over things... this user, with brazen disregard and disrespect for content contributors, uploaded each of these files to commons and then nominated them for deletion here.

I think the {{keep local}} tag was misused in many cases (in general on en.wp). There should be a policy for usage of this tag. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a [media] repository. Commons is the right place for all free files. Only files which are in 'danger' at Commons perhaps may be kept here (for example the case of FOP photos). Anyway, some day such files will be deleted too, even after all other free files [not tagged {{keep local}}] will be moved to commons. --XXN, 09:47, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • In response to the three comments above, by Kelly, Magog the Ogre and XXN:
    1. You are misconstruing
      WP:NOTWEBHOST
      . In technicality, it says images used in articles (or will be used) are valid for inclusion. In rational thought, it implies that Wikipedia isn't a repository for your photos. In my case, all the images re encyclopedic with regard to the article covering them, though they may not be used in the article (a point I feel is covered by "(or will be used)".
    2. Although I appreciate your support, I must insist that this issue is beyond myself. I'm the rickety shopping cart wheel here. I don't believe anybody would locate and make use of the keep local tag unless they were both familiar with our practices and policies, as well as determined enough to locate this template. EVERY contributor, barring obvious abusive usage by random accounts with no content contribution, deserves the same respect of choice that I expect. As mentioned above, the image can also be uploaded to commons (as the CC-SA licence allows), but the local copy should be kept. As I said above, if this is an issue, it should be raised with the template itself.
    3. I agree with most of what you said. I only feel that images that have encyclopedic potential (even if not used in an article, yet) can still be included here. I dislike the way I was treated by the Commons community, and spent almost 4 years trying to get a bureaucratic government copyright office to jump through moving hoops to satisfy a law that anybody with a stable mind could deduce from the applicable Canadian law. In the end I was proven right, and I will flip them bird forevermore.

  • Can I withdraw this nomination for deletion? I saw that there a lot of other files wanted to be kept here, but without any valid reasons for this. Probably it's unfair to Floydian and another uploader(s) to bring up for discussion here only their uploads. As I stated above, something is wrong with the {{keep local}} tag. It shouldn't be used simply when uploader wants, but only in some cases regulated by a policy. I want to live to see the day when all remaining free files on en.wikipedia (thousands, tens of thousands) will be tagged with Template:Keep local. --XXN, 21:41, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • As the editor who created 18 of the 20 images nominated for deletion in XXN's first round, I'll explain that my reasons for using {{keeplocal}} are pretty much as Marchjuly stated. At the very least, I'd ask that my uploaded files be given the same consideration that has been shown to those created by Floydian. Orange Suede Sofa (talk) 04:21, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
