• This file is claimed to be an original photograph, "provided by a man who traveled through the Kurdish communities of Soviet Armenia during the 1980's". However this is clearly a made up picture, created by photoshop or painted, and the painter was not a skilled artist. The copyright status of this image is not clear, as the the consent of the person who created the image has not been demonstrated, and the encyclopedic value of the image is also questionable, as it is not a historic photograph, but a recent creation. I asked the uploader twice on his talk page [1] about this picture, but never received any response. Grand master 08:47, 10 March 2009 (UTC) reply

• Delete. A wannabe photo from obscure source, being actually drawn. The summary states that the file is provided by a certain man, but the tag is confusing at least, attributing the copyright to the uploader. brand спойт 10:30, 10 March 2009 (UTC) reply
• Keep the image is not a recent creation, but is in the public domain and is an example of photomontage from the 1920s. The caption is badly worded, but it is not actually claimed to be an original photograph, but an original scan (i.e. the uploader believed the image had not been previously scanned by anyone) and the "provided by a man who traveled through the Kurdish communities of Soviet Armenia" comment refers to the person the uploader got the image from. However, the copyright tag is wrong, the uploader must incorrectly believe that he has some copyright over the image just because he scanned it, but of course he doesn't because he has not changed the original image! Meowy 15:41, 10 March 2009 (UTC) reply
• The tag is clearly incorrect. Delete unless the copyright status is established and a proper tag added. Stifle ( talk) 10:40, 13 March 2009 (UTC) reply

  As well as Grandmaster, I've also asked the uploader to either change the copyright or clarify his words so that someone else could do it. If he/she can't be bothered, then maybe it should be erased. But I think we should wait a little longer before actually deleting it - give the editor a bit more time to provide the required details. As I said earlier, I'm pretty certain the image will be pd because it is probably from from the 1920s. I've seen several stylistically near-identical images (photomontage-like combinations of a heavily-retouched photograph with drawn elements) of General Andranik from that same period.

• Despite repeated requests, the uploader of this image has declined to provide a full and complete rationale covering all the requirements at WP:NFCC, in particular how this image is not replaceable by a free image or by text.

• Keep The person in the photo is dead, and the source of the photo is listed. Would a picture of a rotted corpse dug out of the ground be the free equivalent if I took it myself? Franklin Township library has the prosecutor's material deposited there from the case. The rational is provided and is clearly written, and all the points for fair use are covered. If there is a problem based on new provisions in fair use, or some newer template, shouldn't there be an attempt to fix it instead of deleting it? What is going to happen when I am no longer around to answer questions, if the deleter is looking for some keyword they feel is missing from the rational, they should add it in good faith before considering deletion, fix before deletion.

• As important as any other photo of a dead person used under "fair use". No person can be better described in words than any other person.

• Unencyclopedic: China has no 'state doctrine'. See People's_Republic_of_China#Religion. Ben ( talk) 11:50, 10 March 2009 (UTC) reply

Keep. The data is taken from New State of the World Atlas which similarly shows "Maoism" as the official "State doctrine" of China. The wikipedia section on "Religion of China" Ben linked might not mention this, but sufficient other sources do state that China has an official state doctrine. Furthermore, I colored in this map and uploaded strictly for personal use, on my personal user page, and could have given it any title I want, other than "State_doctrines.jpg". It was not intended for use in any article, and indeed it is not used anywhere but on my personal user page. Please do not delete it for someone's political reasons. Til Eulenspiegel ( talk) 12:04, 10 March 2009 (UTC) reply

That isn't a reliable source on China, indeed, [a]s with past editions, the atlas makes no attempt to hide its basic ideological bias--that nation-states often act contrary to the best interests of their populace. [2] It's a propaganda piece. Even if it was a reliable source, the map tries to indicate two things, but not consistently. It indicates state religions except in the case of China, and something called a state doctrine in the case of China, but for no-one else. This exception makes it useless for any encyclopaedic purpose, hence unencyclopaedic, and is likely to confuse others that come across it. Finally, WP:NOT#WEBHOST. Ben ( talk) 04:18, 14 March 2009 (UTC) reply

Ben, it's incredible that you would seek to delete my userbox picture claiming that China has no official state ideology. Do you think we cannot read, or are just stupid? Scientific Development Concept should help you out. My map is merely a combination of "State_religions.jpg" and "Communist States.svg", and resembles dozens of similar maps in lots of atlases. It should not be deleted from my personal user page just to appease your site-wide atheist POV, political and anti-religion crusade, which a growing number of editors are finding purely disruptive. Til Eulenspiegel ( talk) 13:17, 14 March 2009 (UTC) reply

Til, stop carrying on, I couldn't care less about your user page and I didn't claim China has no official state ideology. I said it had no state doctrine, and I was associating the word doctrine with religion. After all, you made the image to use for a 'religion' user box, and you only noted the "State_religions.jpg" file in your file description, so you can understand why I made that association and why I was confused when I saw states like China coloured in. I feel many others will be confused too when they see the image, but now that I understand you've just combined two maps ( File:State Religions.svg and File:Communist States.svg are the correct titles for anyone reading this), I recommend you update the file description to explain this. That said and done, I still don't see how a map illustrating states that endorse any religion or endorse a particular political ideology is encyclopaedic. It seems to me they should be kept separate, in which case they are obviously encyclopaedic. Or is there some relationship that I'm unaware of? If so, perhaps you can point me in the direction of an article discussing the relationship where it's possible this image may be used. Ben ( talk) 15:19, 14 March 2009 (UTC) reply

• a free photo of jeffree star at a public appearance would adequately convey his appearance. yes i realize this is his first cover but what does it convey that words (plus a free image) could not? Calliopejen1 ( talk) 14:38, 10 March 2009 (UTC) reply

• Keep. This genderfuck internet celebrity, amongst the first ever to explode onto MySpace, developed his own modeling/branding techniques and skills and has dozens of simply stunning images which we are likely never going to see here. These images are how he built up thousands of fans online without ever making a public appearance. He was, at the time, an underaged teen boy modeling as a high-fashion pin-up woman and it fooled everyone. And they loved him for it. A free public appearance photo would in no way convey the immense artistry that goes into a major photoshoot. This is the closest we are likely to get of him as an edgy model. Every free photo has been and likely for the forseeable future will remain candid but lower-quality images. These are fine for people who are not known for being edgy fashion models bending gender boundaries but this is part and parcel to who Star is. This is not only his first magazine cover but likely the only one we're going to see and be able to use here. It's one thing to describe how he looks like a hot edgy young woman so sexy that strait guys don't care, but it's another thing to see an image that comes close to demonstrating that. -- Banjeboi 14:53, 10 March 2009 (UTC) reply

• Have you contacted him to see if he would be willing to release a publicity photo under a free license? And note (for other editors) that we already have the free photo File:JStarcrop.jpg. Calliopejen1 ( talk) 15:59, 10 March 2009 (UTC) reply

• I'm unsure where in policy we are required to solicit under Fair-use. Also File:JStarcrop.jpg is a perfect example of a low quality image that completely does not represent Star as a fashion model but just as a celeb-at-some-event-in-passing shot which doesn't illustrate much besides his general appearance at social events. Even a red-carpet or catwalk posed shot would not illustrate his modeling high-fashion photo shoots which are often high-concept. -- Banjeboi 01:08, 11 March 2009 (UTC) reply

• It is WP:NFCC1 - if you can get a free photo by asking, this one is replaceable. We don't generally allow nonfree images even for fashion models, btw. Calliopejen1 ( talk) 06:02, 11 March 2009 (UTC) reply

• Actually that says nothing about editors should contact artists to encourage them to waive rights on copyright material so we can have free content and I'm uncomfortable presuming we should and indeed even asking. You'll notice the very next statement regards diminishing their commercial ability. This would be doing exactly that, asking an artist to essentially give up one of their works because we are unwilling to use the acceptable fair use content we have. -- Banjeboi 18:39, 11 March 2009 (UTC) reply

• Comment Nominator seems to be the uploader of the only other photo on Star available. There's room for both in the article but I found this information interesting to this discussion. -- Banjeboi 01:08, 11 March 2009 (UTC) reply

• I couldn't care less whether my photo is in the article. I don't care about Jeffree Star at all. I have uploaded thousands of images. This magazine cover was on my watchlist as a questionable image, and I am cleaning out my watchlist (see above and below). Calliopejen1 ( talk) 06:02, 11 March 2009 (UTC) reply

• I just thought it was relative to this discussion, both images, the only two we have for this subject, are now in the article. -- Banjeboi 18:39, 11 March 2009 (UTC) reply

• Delete Non-free image of living person. Not only is a free image able to be created, one already exists and appears on commons. Clear cut failure of WP:NFCC#1. Jay32183 ( talk) 23:02, 11 March 2009 (UTC) reply
  • You may want to read the whole discussion. This is beyond simply a free image discussion because actually, a free image that illustrates this person as a high-fashion model does not exist. The free image we have is a poor quality event photo which does not and could not illustrate what this one is illustrating. -- Banjeboi 23:10, 11 March 2009 (UTC) reply
    • None of that is relevant. It's a non-free image to show what a living person looks like. Adding the text that the person is a fashion model gives the reader a complete understanding of the topic. There's nothing to discuss. The idea on Wikipedia is to avoid non-free content. The image you're asking for could be created under a free license, it's not relevant that one hasn't yet. This image outright fails WP:NFCC#1, it needs to be deleted. Jay32183 ( talk) 00:18, 12 March 2009 (UTC) reply
      • Again you are mistaken. This person's career started from him producing and modeling high-concept fashion shoots as a woman. This is remarkable since he's a man and that visual art form is not best expressed in simply talking about it when an image of his artwork is available, which it is. And no, we don't avoid non-free media, we work towards providing free content which is different. -- Banjeboi 01:05, 12 March 2009 (UTC) reply
        • I am not mistaken on any point. We avoid non-free content, non-free content is bad for Wikipedia. This non-free image is being used to show what a living person looks like. There is also no rationale for the article on the magazine, nor is the particular issue or cover discussed, and therefore should be deleted. You just don't understand WP:NFCC. Unless you can prove that a non-free image is absolutely necessary, we do not use it. Jay32183 ( talk) 21:31, 12 March 2009 (UTC) reply
• Comment Image is now used on the magazine's article since there wasn't one there so this all may be moot. -- Banjeboi 01:05, 12 March 2009 (UTC) reply
• Keep The picture can stay in the magazine's article, but should be taken off of the article for Jeffree Star in favor of a free image. AniMate ^talk 07:54, 12 March 2009 (UTC) reply
• Keep. A free image for the person is definitly needed, but the fair use rationale for this is good, and informs the reader in ways text cannot, not only indentifying the person, but informing readerrs of what sort of modelling he does, and what is meant by gender-fuck in this case. This is more akin to a photo of a piece of art, and a non-proffesional image would not show this Yob Mod 11:09, 12 March 2009 (UTC) reply
• Comment - If this picture is kept it can only be used for the magazine. Please see Wikipedia:Non-free content, images #10. Under "unacceptable use", "A magazine or book cover, to illustrate the article on the person whose photograph is on the cover. However, if the cover itself is the subject of sourced discussion in the article, and if the cover (or book) does not have its own article, it may be appropriate." I think it's a great picture, but we have a free image. And I am sure that if someone with understanding of the person were to email Jeffree Star and ask him to release one image of himself for free use he'd go for it. It doesn't do anyone any good to violate both his and the magazine's copyright like this. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 12:42, 12 March 2009 (UTC) reply
