Not replaceable by the old picture (2008) as it does not represent the stage appearance now. The old picture must be removed from the article as it is not accepted by Rob De Luca anymore, it might be harmful to his career. So biography of living people policies collide with image policies. Details on Nard ( Hablemonos)( Let's talk) Talk Page. Policies have to be changed slightly, this will be topic of a discussion.
The image does not fail NFCC#1 unless the result of the discussion says so (and I don't think this will happen)
In a nutshell: don't touch things they way I've posted them until we've come to a constructive solution, please!

Delete This image of a non-free sculpture used in the article about the subject fails WP:NFCC#8 because it is not necessary to show a non-free image when prose could be used, especially when there is no critical commentary about the image or the sculpture. Besides which the claim of educational use under the legal fair-use terms is not sufficient as Wikipedia's fair-use is much stricter and educational use if not a good enough exception and any image so used must pass all 10 criteria. The image would probably pass our non-free criteria if it was used to illustrate an article about the sculpture itself. ww2censor ( talk) 14:18, 4 July 2012 (UTC) reply

- The sculptor needs to grant you permission to use your own photo since the photo is a derivative work of an unfree statue. Additionally, since you took the photo, you must grant permission to use the photographic parts of the image. The photo currently implements details from both you and from the sculptor and so you are copyright holders of different aspects of the photo. Neither you nor the sculptor can use the image without permission from the other party. -- Stefan2 ( talk) 06:38, 5 July 2012 (UTC) reply

Previously deleted per WP:NFCC#1 (see Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2012 June 25#File:Artist Cygnus high.jpg) and now re-uploaded again. This is indeed replaceable: someone has used a piece of software to create a fictive illustration of an object. However, anyone else could create a replacement by using a computer program to create a different fictive illustration of the same object. Besides, the object is being produced for NASA, so it is unlikely that there wouldn't be any {{ PD-USGov-NASA}} images, although the uploader claims otherwise. Besides, if the uploader disagrees with the previous deletion discussion, this should really have gone to WP:DRV instead of being recreated without any discussion. Maybe it should just be deleted per WP:CSD#G4 and then taken there... Stefan2 ( talk) 21:49, 4 July 2012 (UTC) reply

- In essence all images are replaceable but it would take a tremendous amount of time to faithfully reproduce this image in a 3D rendering program. NASA is not producing the object, Orbital Sciences is producing it. Stefan2 if you believe there is an alternative {{
PD-USGov-NASA}} then please prove me wrong. You deleted an image that had been on wikipedia for over two years, did not give any notice on the
Cygnus (spacecraft) page and the only person you informed was the
original uploader who has been inactive for the past five months. There was no previous discussion, there was a deletion proposal that no one knew about or responded to.--

WP:NFCC#1 does not depend on the amount of effort needed to create the replacement. Compare with taking a photo of a random person who is still alive. Sometimes, it might be necessary to travel to a different continent in order to create a replacement (which requires considerable effort), but such images are still considered as replaceable.

- "WP:NFCC#1 does not depend on the amount of effort needed to create the replacement." Then no image would be justifiable. This image was released by Orbital Sciences as promotional material, it is of reduced size (430 × 350 pixels as opposed to the original 3,754 × 2,475 pixels) and its only used on a single article. I'm still waiting for you to post the {{ PD-USGov-NASA}} equivalent that you expect to exist (which was the reason listed for the deletion nomination). You chose to use Twinkle so you are responsible for not giving due notice. The first Cygnus mission is planned for late this year, after which time I will be able to remove it from the article.-- Craigboy ( talk) 00:57, 5 July 2012 (UTC) reply

I've brought up the topic at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content/Archive 56#CGI images and Wikipedia talk:Copyrights#CGI Images, and as it stands today, there are huge numbers of fictional objects computer generated graphics on wikipedia that are used as non free images. Scenes from toy story, avatar (movie) or elephants dream, characters out of star wars like jar jar binks the list is endless. We can make some images to a reasonable standard ourselves, but not all CGI images would be handled the same way, there is no guidance for editors, and everything else is simply rhetoric or editorial judgement until it is defined, so Craigboy has a valid point of view on the issue, and like everything else that doesn't get put into writing, it's left up to the vagaries of consensus. Do you have anything to suggest otherwise ? I'd like to see it. Penyulap ☏ 04:20, 5 Jul 2012 (UTC)

- well that's one theory, thing is, it's not in policy it doesn't even get a mention. So it's just left up to consensus as I said. Try changing things, like inserting one tiny sentence into this policy and it will be off on a 100 page trip to nowhere. Comes down to your guess being as good as mine. I know the secret to solve these puzzles, but meh, nobody listens to Penyulap. Ask Craigboy :) he'll tell you nobody listens to me :) What I do is avoid annoying people, I think would the artist/owner/group/company that made this picture be upset at it being used in this way, it's always served me well.

Taking a slightly different tack, I've seen at least one photo on Flickr of a Cygnus spacecraft mockup. I don't know if the mockup still exists or is on public display, but if it is a photo of it could in theory replace this CGI image. Sadly, that particular photographer selected "non-commercial" on their CC license; otherwise I'd have imported that photo already. -- Ken_g6 ( factors | composites) 20:15, 5 July 2012 (UTC) reply

- A spacecraft is a utilitarian object. Utilitarian objects are not subject to copyright protection in the United States (but are sometimes subject to copyright in other countries). Thus, this is not a copyrighted spacecraft but a spacecraft which is in the public domain. On the other hand, computer-generated images and photos of the spacecraft may be copyrighted. -- Stefan2 ( talk) 20:45, 8 July 2012 (UTC) reply

Not replaceable by the old picture (2008) as it does not represent the stage appearance now. The old picture must be removed from the article as it is not accepted by Rob De Luca anymore, it might be harmful to his career. So biography of living people policies collide with image policies. Details on Nard ( Hablemonos)( Let's talk) Talk Page. Policies have to be changed slightly, this will be topic of a discussion.
The image does not fail NFCC#1 unless the result of the discussion says so (and I don't think this will happen)

Delete This image of a non-free sculpture used in the article about the subject fails WP:NFCC#8 because it is not necessary to show a non-free image when prose could be used, especially when there is no critical commentary about the image or the sculpture. Besides which the claim of educational use under the legal fair-use terms is not sufficient as Wikipedia's fair-use is much stricter and educational use if not a good enough exception and any image so used must pass all 10 criteria. The image would probably pass our non-free criteria if it was used to illustrate an article about the sculpture itself. ww2censor ( talk) 14:18, 4 July 2012 (UTC) reply

- The sculptor needs to grant you permission to use your own photo since the photo is a derivative work of an unfree statue. Additionally, since you took the photo, you must grant permission to use the photographic parts of the image. The photo currently implements details from both you and from the sculptor and so you are copyright holders of different aspects of the photo. Neither you nor the sculptor can use the image without permission from the other party. -- Stefan2 ( talk) 06:38, 5 July 2012 (UTC) reply

Previously deleted per WP:NFCC#1 (see Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2012 June 25#File:Artist Cygnus high.jpg) and now re-uploaded again. This is indeed replaceable: someone has used a piece of software to create a fictive illustration of an object. However, anyone else could create a replacement by using a computer program to create a different fictive illustration of the same object. Besides, the object is being produced for NASA, so it is unlikely that there wouldn't be any {{ PD-USGov-NASA}} images, although the uploader claims otherwise. Besides, if the uploader disagrees with the previous deletion discussion, this should really have gone to WP:DRV instead of being recreated without any discussion. Maybe it should just be deleted per WP:CSD#G4 and then taken there... Stefan2 ( talk) 21:49, 4 July 2012 (UTC) reply
- In essence all images are replaceable but it would take a tremendous amount of time to faithfully reproduce this image in a 3D rendering program. NASA is not producing the object, Orbital Sciences is producing it. Stefan2 if you believe there is an alternative {{
PD-USGov-NASA}} then please prove me wrong. You deleted an image that had been on wikipedia for over two years, did not give any notice on the
Cygnus (spacecraft) page and the only person you informed was the
original uploader who has been inactive for the past five months. There was no previous discussion, there was a deletion proposal that no one knew about or responded to.--

WP:NFCC#1 does not depend on the amount of effort needed to create the replacement. Compare with taking a photo of a random person who is still alive.

- "WP:NFCC#1 does not depend on the amount of effort needed to create the replacement." Then no image would be justifiable. This image was released by Orbital Sciences as promotional material, it is of reduced size (430 × 350 pixels as opposed to the original 3,754 × 2,475 pixels) and its only used on a single article. I'm still waiting for you to post the {{ PD-USGov-NASA}} equivalent that you expect to exist (which was the reason listed for the deletion nomination). You chose to use Twinkle so you are responsible for not giving due notice. The first Cygnus mission is planned for late this year, after which time I will be able to remove it from the article.-- Craigboy ( talk) 00:57, 5 July 2012 (UTC) reply

I've brought up the topic at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content/Archive 56#CGI images and Wikipedia talk:Copyrights#CGI Images, and as it stands today, there are huge numbers of fictional objects computer generated graphics on wikipedia that are used as non free images. Scenes from toy story, avatar (movie) or elephants dream, characters out of star wars like jar jar binks the list is endless. We can make some images to a reasonable standard ourselves, but not all CGI images would be handled the same way, there is no guidance for editors, and everything else is simply rhetoric or editorial judgement until it is defined, so Craigboy has a valid point of view on the issue, and like everything else that doesn't get put into writing, it's left up to the vagaries of consensus. Do you have anything to suggest otherwise ? I'd like to see it. Penyulap ☏ 04:20, 5 Jul 2012 (UTC)

Try changing things, like inserting one tiny sentence into this policy and it will be off on a 100 page trip to nowhere. Comes down to your guess being as good as mine. I know the secret to solve these puzzles, but meh, nobody listens to Penyulap. Ask Craigboy :) he'll tell you nobody listens to me :) What I do is avoid annoying people, I think would the artist/owner/group/company that made this picture be upset at it being used in this way, it's always served me well.

Taking a slightly different tack, I've seen at least one photo on Flickr of a Cygnus spacecraft mockup. I don't know if the mockup still exists or is on public display, but if it is a photo of it could in theory replace this CGI image. Sadly, that particular photographer selected "non-commercial" on their CC license; otherwise I'd have imported that photo already. -- Ken_g6 ( factors | composites) 20:15, 5 July 2012 (UTC) reply
