A non-free photo is being used in the Death of Khaled Mohamed Saeed. A consensus of Fair Use was determined by an Admin at a Non-free content review. The consensus was not unanimous, however, and objections have been raised that the image is in violation of policy.
The list of the users involved.
Others involved in the Non-free content review.
Please place your signature here to indicate that you are aware of this mediation process and want to participate in it:
The photo was being discussed here Wikipedia:Non-free content review. Three hours before the photo was scheduled for deletion, a consensus process was rushed (closed after 2 hours –– unbecoming behavior for an administrator) and consensus was reached that yes, Fair Use was established.
Editors variously object that consensus violates of criteria #1, 2, 5, 6, 8 AND 10 of NFCC, including the Image Use Policy.
The photo is a direct copyright violation. The image has not been published in a credible source, it has only appeared on a Facebook page. It does not meet the burden of proof.
Policy: Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria Enforcement: To avoid deletion, the uploading editor or another Wikipedian will need to provide a convincing non-free-use defense that satisfies all 10 criteria. Note that it is the duty of users seeking to include or retain content to provide a valid rationale; those seeking to remove or delete it are not required to show that one cannot be created—see burden of proof.
Since copyright is a serious violation, I would like someone to review the policy, apply it to this case, and have their decision be binding. Preferably a legal opinion from the Foundation.
By enforcing the copyright policy.
