The result of the debate was:

- Delete due to the current lack of OTRS information. I've left this for over a week but as the confirmation of the licensing is not forthcoming the image has to go. Of course if the OTRS email comes through at some point in the future, the image can be undeleted and kept -

The result of the debate was

delete. NFCC needs to be interpreted according to the spirit and intentions of the policy, whose fundamental principle it is that non-free image use must be minimal and narrowly  restricted. Under this perspective, Howcheng's argument that just because an image shows something important it is not itself automatically important enough for us to include it carries the day. Besides, it is doubtful if the image even fulfills the legal conditions of Australian "fair dealing", since we are just showing it, not using it for "review and criticism" (in the terms of American law: we are not adding "transformative value" to it).

• Copyrighted pic of o guy giving a speech. We don't need this copyrighted image to understand the article. Damiens.rf 16:48, 29 July 2008 (UTC) reply
• Strong keep - the It's Time campaign is instrumental in Australian politics and Whitlam's life (as the article indicates) and the ignorance of the nominator is very evident here - it's probably the most famous election campaign in post-federation Australian history. If this can be replaced by a free image of the It's Time campaign then I'll support its deletion, but as it is an instrumental part of Whitlam's life it should be kept. Again, let's stop spurious nominations. JRG ( talk) 02:07, 2 August 2008 (UTC) reply
• Delete. JRG is making the common mistake in conflating historic image with historic event. The campaign is important; the photo of it is not. Seeing a photo of Whitlam making a speech does not add anything to the article that can't already be described in text. howcheng { chat} 05:32, 2 August 2008 (UTC) reply

• Copyrighted image showing two guys drinking some juice. according to rationale used because it show "the friendship between [...the tow guys...] in detail and a visual form". This is the worst justification for violating #8 I have ever seen. Damiens.rf 16:50, 29 July 2008 (UTC) reply

Still have zero (and if possible, minus) respect for people who have enough free time to go around Wikipedia destroying the articles of others' by listing their images for deletion. Gough and Dunstan were buddies, good buddies. They had a strong federal-state partnership. Images of the two together that are uncopyrighted do not exist. The image is significant to both of their lives. To dismiss it as "guys drinking juice" and "the worst justification for violating #8" is a joke. Did you read the article?

• Violation of WP:NFCC #2 and #8. No discussion of the TIME magazine issue is in the article, and even if there were, it would have to be far more than "Hearst appeared on the cover" in order for us to need this image. howcheng { chat} 16:58, 29 July 2008 (UTC) reply
• Delete. Per NFCC#3 and #8. The article already has plenty of pictures of Patty Hearst. The only thing this one adds is that she was featured prominently in the press at the time. This is not a significant addition to reader understanding. -- Ipoellet ( talk) 17:31, 29 July 2008 (UTC) reply
• Keep I don't really see how it violates WP:NFCC #2 at all, and I think the claim that it violates #3 and #8 is dubious at best. Considering the great amount of press coverage that her kidnapping garnered at the time, It would seem to me that an image indicating that falls well within policy. -- Grandpafootsoldier ( talk) 20:44, 29 July 2008 (UTC) reply
  • NFCC #2 applies because TIME magazine makes money selling their copyrighted covers; our (and all of our downstream mirrors) using it without payment removes a market opportunity from them. In order to pass #8, you would need sourced commentary about that specific magazine cover and what impact that image had on events (see More Demi Moore for an example). howcheng { chat} 21:35, 29 July 2008 (UTC) reply
    • Oh, come now. Do you seriously think that having such a low-resolution image of a Time magazine cover is going to at all hinder that company from selling the full-size version to collectors? As for #8, it states in full: Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding. As I stated before, I think using it as an example of media coverage of the incident falls within that parameter. -- Grandpafootsoldier ( talk) 05:41, 30 July 2008 (UTC) reply
      • Here's what you have to do in order to keep it: Add to the article discussion about this specific cover (not just the fact that she appeared on TIME) with references to reliable sources such that the reader would have to see the cover in order to get a better understanding of the discussion. Again, I point you to More Demi Moore as an example of where the cover itself is significant enough to warrant the use of its image. howcheng { chat} 06:12, 30 July 2008 (UTC) reply
• Delete - Not a notable cover image. No reason to use this image other than decoration. -- Damiens.rf 23:18, 30 July 2008 (UTC) reply

• A title card for each episode is unnecessary. They are hardly notable in themselves, as they are just the title of the episode. They can be conveyed in text just like all the other seasons of the show. See WP:FU - Significance. Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding. Ejfetters ( talk) 21:28, 29 July 2008 (UTC) reply
• Delete. Also violates NFCC#3 - Minimal usage. Having only one of these may be acceptable (or may not), but a whole passel is not acceptable. -- Ipoellet ( talk) 22:35, 29 July 2008 (UTC) reply

Also see NFCC #1 - No free equivalent. Non-free content is used only where no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose. Where possible, non-free content is transformed into free material instead of using a fair-use defense, or replaced with a freer alternative if one of acceptable quality is available; "acceptable quality" means a quality sufficient to serve the encyclopedic purpose. (As a quick test, before adding non-free content requiring a rationale, ask yourself: "Can this non-free content be replaced by a free version that has the same effect?" and "Could the subject be adequately conveyed by text without using the non-free content at all?" If the answer to either is yes, the non-free content probably does not meet this criterion.) This can clearly be conveyed with text without using non-free content at all, its just the episode titles. 74.204.40.46 ( talk) 09:18, 31 July 2008 (UTC) reply
