A non-free image in an article that also contains a free & properly licensed pencil portrait File:Walter_Oesau_Portrait.png -- I suggest using it instead. The image in question is fairly generic and its omission would not be detrimental to understanding. K.e.coffman ( talk) 00:26, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
- Keep - A sketch portrait is not similar to the authentic photograph. Rather the pencil sketch should be used in the body article as it doesn't look good as the infobox image. The photo truly identifies the person in question, and a free substitute is not adequate to identify the person. Such omission would prompt others into searching for an authentic photo of this person and trying to upload it as non-free.
BTW, I tagged the image as PD in EU areas as the image was anonymous created, and the subject of the photo died in 1944, i.e. 73 years ago. However, the image may still be copyrightable in the US per URAA.-- George Ho ( talk) 02:38, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
- My bad. I must have overlooked some parts of Flickr description. -- George Ho ( talk) 23:47, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
- Comment -- the uploader stated that the image is part of the collection by Heinrich Hoffmann (photographer). These postcards of Knight's Cross winners were issued by Hoffmann and sold to the public, similar to baseball cards in the U.S. These images are not PD in Germany.

I originally tagged this alternate single cover with {{ di-disputed fair use rationale}} with: "Violates WP:NFG. Additionally, fails to meet points three and eight of WP:NFCC. This cover is not significantly different from the main one to justify its inclusion." It was originally used in a non-free gallery. It was then moved to the infobox and the deletion tag was removed by the uploader, using the edit summary: "Issue resolved, moved image back to infobox. This is indeed significantly different from the main one". Although the first half of the concern was addressed, the second half was not. The difference of the alternate cover from the main cover is miniscule that this second cover is not needed ( WP:NFCC#3) and is not subject to critical commentary ( WP:NFCC#8). Its use does not increase the readers' understanding of the article, nor would its removal be detrimental to that understanding. ℯ xplicit 00:51, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
