This alternate character design is not accompanied by sufficient critical commentary and thus likely violates WP:NFCC#8 (contextual significance). Even if accompanied by critical commentary, stills from animated works for identification/discussion of depicted characters (and not the depicted scene) would most certainly contain multiple non-free background elements in violation of WP:NFCC#3b (minimal extent of use) and should in any event be replaced with a character render containing a transparent background (such as File:Anne Boonchuy pro.webp for the Anne Boonchuy article).

The file is from Michael Ochs archives, and I did research and this photo was the same exact copy of the Getty images one from https://www.gettyimages.in/detail/news-photo/photo-of-velvelettes-photo-by-michael-ochs-archives-getty-news-photo/74299710. It has the same watermark from the Getty image. This also may fail WP:GETTY. TheGreatestLuvofAll 12:17, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
This non-free portrait claims to be used to show "definitive characteristics during the last parts of his reign" without specifying what these characteristics are. As used i the article it is decorative so fails WP:NFCC#8, and there are many free images Haile Selassie. Whpq ( talk) 23:59, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
As per WP:FREER, a freely licensed photographic work can be created instead of using such a non-free photo. Wcam ( talk) 16:21, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
See also WP:GETTY, point 16. JohnCWiesenthal ( talk) 13:00, 19 April 2024 (UTC)Another consideration for "no free equivalent" are "freer" versions of non-free media, typically which include derivative works. For example, a photograph of a copyrighted 3D work of art will also carry the copyright of the photographer in addition to the copyright of the artist that created the work. We would use a photograph where the photographer has licensed their photograph under a free license, retaining the copyright of the derivative work, instead of a photograph that has non-free licenses for both the photograph and work of art.

A cropped lower resolution version of File:Sikhs aboard Komagata Maru.jpg. Magog the Ogre ( t • c) 00:46, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
De-PRODding reason from an admin was this: The article states that this is one of the greatest guitar solos of all time. It IS the song, the heart of it.
This implies that, per
WP:NFC#Audio clips, critical commentary should suffice to save the sample from deletion. However, even with critical commentary, I still doubt that the whole sample itself is
significant contextually to the whole nine- or ten-minute song.
The whole sample sure is a portion of "one of the greatest guitar solos", but the whole song (recording) is not about that guitar solo, even as "greatest" as it may have been. The song has lyrics lasting five, six, or seven minutes.
Furthermore, the phrase "one of the greatest guitar solos" and the whole sample provide the same role: driving a reader into seeking the whole, full studio recording... or live one of the same song and letting the reader decide for oneself. Moreover, the 30-second sample either doesn't fully explain why the whole guitar solo is the "greatest" or is more about the portion itself than about the whole guitar solo (or the whole song).
Or, words are enough per WP:FREER to explain (what) the whole song (is about) or... (that) the whole song (is more than just the "greatest guitar solo"), and the sample itself doesn't need to be in the project. Speaking of "greatest", "greatest" can be subjective, yet the sample isn't that adequate, in my opinion. The whole recording at any length does the better explanation than any sample/portion.
In short, even meeting "critical commentary" rule doesn't absolve the sample's potential failures to comply with the whole NFCC, especially the "contextual significance" one. George Ho ( talk) 04:56, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
De-PRODded for this reason: Annulation de suppression d'audio. L'audio permet au lecteur de connecter la chanson avec l'article en associant le titre à un extrait de la chanson.
Helping readers identify the James Brown song
It's a Man's Man's Man's World isn't sufficient to absolve the sample's potential failures to be
contextually significant the whole song (recording). Rather it does the same thing that free text can do: drive readers into seeking and listening the whole song.
Furthermore, nothing in the sample indicates why omitting the sample from the article would harm readers' understanding of the whole song, honestly. Regardless of familiarity and legacy, I hear lyrics, and music simultaneously, and I hear performance. However, the content given is all I hear, and I still haven't found the sample to fulfillingly help me understand the whole song. Oh, and understanding ≠ identifying. George Ho ( talk) 05:08, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
De-PRODding rationale was this: Music sample should NOT be deleted as it is necessary to understand the article.
Unfortunately, necessity rationale doesn't absolve the sample's potential failure to prove why omitting the sample harms the understanding of the whole song, the omission one part of
WP:NFCC#8. The song was initially a composition, but then lyrics were added in another recording.
The whole sample is just music with one spoken line, and its role is the same as what free text already does: drive readers into seeking and then listening (versions of) the whole song. Furthermore, it doesn't fully represent (what) the whole song/composition (is about) and (how) the whole song/composition (had been done). George Ho ( talk) 05:24, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
There is a version below TOO in the file history. Surely if the album can be represented by something non-copyrightable then the recent non-free upload with the same name fails WP:NFCC#1. * Pppery * it has begun... 14:44, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
Could be from https://www.gettyimages.com.au/detail/news-photo/ike-and-tina-turner-backup-singers-and-recording-artists-news-photo/117646990 because it is in the same format but covered with a watermark. May fail WP:GETTY. TheGreatestLuvofAll ( talk) 20:38, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
File was de-PRODded per "critical commentary" rationale. However, per WP:NFC#Audio clips, NFCC also applies. As far as the sample is concerned, I hear lyrics, vocal performances, and music. Nothing within the sample indicates why, per WP:NFCC#8, omitting the whole portion harms understanding of the whole song, which has been redone a few or several times by later artists. Furthermore, the free text already helps readers learn what the whole song is about, meaning the sample fails to be irreplaceable by free text. Furthermore, the sample might also fail WP:NFCC#3a for doing the same role that free text does: drive readers into seeking and then listening various recordings of the same song. George Ho ( talk) 20:55, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
The cover has a very simple design and is therefore not copyrightable. Someone can take a picture of the book and release the photo under a free license. Ixfd64 ( talk) 02:40, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
Although this file is accompanied by critical commentary, the commentary is not about the depicted scene but rather about the depicted character
Bill Cipher, thus failing both
WP:NFCC#3b (minimal extent of use) and
WP:NFCC#8 (contextual significance). Per
MOS:TVIMAGE, a screenshot of a significant moment or element from the episode ... may only be used if it meets the non-free content criteria, i.e., (typically) if it is required to illustrate the object of explicit, sourced analytical commentary, and where that commentary needs visual support to be understood
. This image can easily be replaced with an image depicting only the character himself, which would more likely meet both
WP:NFCC criteria.

This is the logo of the Anguilla Commonwealth Games Association, not of the participating country of Anguilla, which uses the country's flag as the primary emblem. As such, it's not a logo of the entity in question (and the association doesn't have a Wikipedia article), and so fails WP:NFCC#8. Joseph 2302 ( talk) 15:16, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Violation of privacy. According to the article, this photo was leaked rather than made public by the subject. Kk.urban ( talk) 15:52, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
A painting which from the State Library of Tasmania which they variously credit to artist F.J. Lloyd (d. 1956) (for instance on this instagram post) or treat as the work of an unknown artist (as on this blog entry). Since the latest attribution to F. J. Lloyd is from 8 weeks ago, I would tend not to treat it as an anonymous work but as a work by Lloyd, which would then be under copyright in Australia until 2026 inclusive. Whether it is still in copyright in the US would depend on its publication history, and thus whether it was catalogued or exhibited somewhere where copies could be made freely. Unfortunately, I was unable to find anything on its exhibition history, and it is unlikely to be common knowledge given the present uncertainty about its authorship. Felix QW ( talk) 15:57, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
Painting by Dacre Smyth (1923-2008). While the exact date of creation is not given, it will certainly have been after 1928, and Australian copyright will still run until 2078 inclusive. While the file is in use in three articles, I doubt that a modern depiction of a historical event over 200 years ago satisfies the criteria for non-free content. Felix QW ( talk) 16:08, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
US copyright in this 1953 Australian image was restored by the URAA restoration in 1996. It is in use at Ken Kearney, together with File:Ken Kearney.JPG, another non-free (URAA-restored) image. Presumably, either of them is sufficient for identification, so unless this file is deemed preferable to File:Ken Kearney.JPG for some reason, it would probably have to be deleted. Felix QW ( talk) 16:13, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
This is a disputed CSD F7 nomination. This GIF depicts a final boss battle in Undertale (2015). Its usage in the article " Megalovania" — the soundtrack for this section of the game — does not meet criterion 8 (contextual significance) of the NFCC. I also feel that a 15-second clip is too excessive to meet criterion 3b (minimal extent of use). The NFCI allow for images which "are themselves the subject of sourced commentary" (emphasis original); the article's commentary mostly pertains to the music and not the visual aspects.

Invalid FUR. Asserted to be used as a logo but File:OSCE_logo.svg exists. Fails NFCC1. -- Min☠︎rax«¦ talk¦» 02:38, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
Doesn't significantly enhance the reader's understanding, so fails WP:NFCC#8. Generally when we use non free logos, we put them in the infobox if they're important, but we have much more important, free images of the main party leaders in the infobox, which provide way more understanding to a reader than this logo. Joseph 2302 ( talk) 06:55, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
The file is a screenshot of a television re-enactment of the murder of Lee Kim Lai, which is used in the article List of Singapore police officers killed in the line of duty. As a list to record Singaporean fallen police officers, his case is not the main topic of the article (had every fallen officers deserve their images, the article would have been full of fair-use images). While the description is relatively long, most of them are to translate the Chinese appearing in the file.
In short, the file is only used as a replaceable illustration in the article, and as a re-enactment its value is even less when compared with true historical images. The file therefore violates WP:NFCC#8, and should be deleted. 廣九直通車 ( talk) 13:24, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
The file is a television screenshot of a traffic accident in Singapore involving police officers, and is used in List of Singapore police officers killed in the line of duty. As a list to record Singaporean fallen police officers, his case is not the main topic of the article (see also the comments in #File:True Files Lee Kim Lai 1.jpg), and its omission would not be detrimental to the readers' understanding.
Moreover,
WP:NFC#UUI point 7 states that photo from press agency are unacceptable fair use unless it is the subject of sourced commentary in the article
. As an illustration in the article that solely to demonstrate "2 police officers died in an accident", the file is clearly not the subject of sourced commentary.
In short, the file violates WP:NFCC8# and WP:NFC#UUI, and should therefore be deleted. 廣九直通車 ( talk) 13:30, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

It has the same watermark from the Getty image. This also may fail WP:GETTY. TheGreatestLuvofAll 12:17, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
This non-free portrait claims to be used to show "definitive characteristics during the last parts of his reign" without specifying what these characteristics are. As used i the article it is decorative so fails WP:NFCC#8, and there are many free images Haile Selassie. Whpq ( talk) 23:59, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
As per WP:FREER, a freely licensed photographic work can be created instead of using such a non-free photo. Wcam ( talk) 16:21, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
See also WP:GETTY, point 16. JohnCWiesenthal ( talk) 13:00, 19 April 2024 (UTC)Another consideration for "no free equivalent" are "freer" versions of non-free media, typically which include derivative works. For example, a photograph of a copyrighted 3D work of art will also carry the copyright of the photographer in addition to the copyright of the artist that created the work. We would use a photograph where the photographer has licensed their photograph under a free license, retaining the copyright of the derivative work, instead of a photograph that has non-free licenses for both the photograph and work of art.

De-PRODding reason from an admin was this: The article states that this is one of the greatest guitar solos of all time. It IS the song, the heart of it.
This implies that, per
WP:NFC#Audio clips, critical commentary should suffice to save the sample from deletion. However, even with critical commentary, I still doubt that the whole sample itself is
significant contextually to the whole nine- or ten-minute song.
The whole sample sure is a portion of "one of the greatest guitar solos", but the whole song (recording) is not about that guitar solo, even as "greatest" as it may have been. The song has lyrics lasting five, six, or seven minutes.
Furthermore, the phrase "one of the greatest guitar solos" and the whole sample provide the same role: driving a reader into seeking the whole, full studio recording... or live one of the same song and letting the reader decide for oneself. Moreover, the 30-second sample either doesn't fully explain why the whole guitar solo is the "greatest" or is more about the portion itself than about the whole guitar solo (or the whole song).
Or, words are enough per WP:FREER to explain (what) the whole song (is about) or... (that) the whole song (is more than just the "greatest guitar solo"), and the sample itself doesn't need to be in the project. Speaking of "greatest", "greatest" can be subjective, yet the sample isn't that adequate, in my opinion. The whole recording at any length does the better explanation than any sample/portion.
In short, even meeting "critical commentary" rule doesn't absolve the sample's potential failures to comply with the whole NFCC, especially the "contextual significance" one. George Ho ( talk) 04:56, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
De-PRODded for this reason: Annulation de suppression d'audio. L'audio permet au lecteur de connecter la chanson avec l'article en associant le titre à un extrait de la chanson.
Helping readers identify the James Brown song
It's a Man's Man's Man's World isn't sufficient to absolve the sample's potential failures to be
contextually significant the whole song (recording). Rather it does the same thing that free text can do: drive readers into seeking and listening the whole song.
Furthermore, nothing in the sample indicates why omitting the sample from the article would harm readers' understanding of the whole song, honestly. Regardless of familiarity and legacy, I hear lyrics, and music simultaneously, and I hear performance. However, the content given is all I hear, and I still haven't found the sample to fulfillingly help me understand the whole song. Oh, and understanding ≠ identifying. George Ho ( talk) 05:08, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
De-PRODding rationale was this: Music sample should NOT be deleted as it is necessary to understand the article.
Unfortunately, necessity rationale doesn't absolve the sample's potential failure to prove why omitting the sample harms the understanding of the whole song, the omission one part of
WP:NFCC#8. The song was initially a composition, but then lyrics were added in another recording.
The whole sample is just music with one spoken line, and its role is the same as what free text already does: drive readers into seeking and then listening (versions of) the whole song. Furthermore, it doesn't fully represent (what) the whole song/composition (is about) and (how) the whole song/composition (had been done). George Ho ( talk) 05:24, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
There is a version below TOO in the file history. Surely if the album can be represented by something non-copyrightable then the recent non-free upload with the same name fails WP:NFCC#1. * Pppery * it has begun... 14:44, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
Could be from https://www.gettyimages.com.au/detail/news-photo/ike-and-tina-turner-backup-singers-and-recording-artists-news-photo/117646990 because it is in the same format but covered with a watermark. May fail WP:GETTY. TheGreatestLuvofAll ( talk) 20:38, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
File was de-PRODded per "critical commentary" rationale. However, per WP:NFC#Audio clips, NFCC also applies. As far as the sample is concerned, I hear lyrics, vocal performances, and music. Nothing within the sample indicates why, per WP:NFCC#8, omitting the whole portion harms understanding of the whole song, which has been redone a few or several times by later artists. Furthermore, the free text already helps readers learn what the whole song is about, meaning the sample fails to be irreplaceable by free text. Furthermore, the sample might also fail WP:NFCC#3a for doing the same role that free text does: drive readers into seeking and then listening various recordings of the same song.

The cover has a very simple design and is therefore not copyrightable. Someone can take a picture of the book and release the photo under a free license. Ixfd64 ( talk) 02:40, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
Although this file is accompanied by critical commentary, the commentary is not about the depicted scene but rather about the depicted character
Bill Cipher, thus failing both
WP:NFCC#3b (minimal extent of use) and
WP:NFCC#8 (contextual significance). Per
MOS:TVIMAGE, a screenshot of a significant moment or element from the episode ... may only be used if it meets the non-free content criteria, i.e., (typically) if it is required to illustrate the object of explicit, sourced analytical commentary, and where that commentary needs visual support to be understood
. This image can easily be replaced with an image depicting only the character himself, which would more likely meet both
WP:NFCC criteria.

This is the logo of the Anguilla Commonwealth Games Association, not of the participating country of Anguilla, which uses the country's flag as the primary emblem. As such, it's not a logo of the entity in question (and the association doesn't have a Wikipedia article), and so fails WP:NFCC#8. Joseph 2302 ( talk) 15:16, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

A painting which from the State Library of Tasmania which they variously credit to artist F.J. Lloyd (d. 1956) (for instance on this instagram post) or treat as the work of an unknown artist (as on this blog entry). Since the latest attribution to F. J. Lloyd is from 8 weeks ago, I would tend not to treat it as an anonymous work but as a work by Lloyd, which would then be under copyright in Australia until 2026 inclusive. Whether it is still in copyright in the US would depend on its publication history, and thus whether it was catalogued or exhibited somewhere where copies could be made freely. Unfortunately, I was unable to find anything on its exhibition history, and it is unlikely to be common knowledge given the present uncertainty about its authorship.

Painting by Dacre Smyth (1923-2008). While the exact date of creation is not given, it will certainly have been after 1928, and Australian copyright will still run until 2078 inclusive. While the file is in use in three articles, I doubt that a modern depiction of a historical event over 200 years ago satisfies the criteria for non-free content.

US copyright in this 1953 Australian image was restored by the URAA restoration in 1996. It is in use at Ken Kearney, together with File:Ken Kearney.JPG, another non-free (URAA-restored) image. Presumably, either of them is sufficient for identification, so unless this file is deemed preferable to File:Ken Kearney.JPG for some reason, it would probably have to be deleted.

This is a disputed CSD F7 nomination. This GIF depicts a final boss battle in Undertale (2015). Its usage in the article " Megalovania" — the soundtrack for this section of the game — does not meet criterion 8 (contextual significance) of the NFCC. I also feel that a 15-second clip is too excessive to meet criterion 3b (minimal extent of use). The NFCI allow for images which "are themselves the subject of sourced commentary" (emphasis original); the article's commentary mostly pertains to the music and not the visual aspects.

Doesn't significantly enhance the reader's understanding, so fails WP:NFCC#8. Generally when we use non free logos, we put them in the infobox if they're important, but we have much more important, free images of the main party leaders in the infobox, which provide way more understanding to a reader than this logo.

The file is a screenshot of a television re-enactment of the murder of Lee Kim Lai, which is used in the article List of Singapore police officers killed in the line of duty. As a list to record Singaporean fallen police officers, his case is not the main topic of the article (had every fallen officers deserve their images, the article would have been full of fair-use images). While the description is relatively long, most of them are to translate the Chinese appearing in the file.
In short, the file is only used as a replaceable illustration in the article, and as a re-enactment its value is even less when compared with true historical images. The file therefore violates WP:NFCC#8, and should be deleted. 廣九直通車 ( talk) 13:24, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
The file is a television screenshot of a traffic accident in Singapore involving police officers, and is used in List of Singapore police officers killed in the line of duty. As a list to record Singaporean fallen police officers, his case is not the main topic of the article (see also the comments in #File:True Files Lee Kim Lai 1.jpg), and its omission would not be detrimental to the readers' understanding.
Moreover,
WP:NFC#UUI point 7 states that photo from press agency are unacceptable fair use unless it is the subject of sourced commentary in the article
. As an illustration in the article that solely to demonstrate "2 police officers died in an accident", the file is clearly not the subject of sourced commentary.
In short, the file violates WP:NFCC8# and WP:NFC#UUI, and should therefore be deleted. 廣九直通車 ( talk) 13:30, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
