- This non-free image has a bad fair use rational. The image is used in the article Screener to illustrate what a screener looks like. There is no reason to use any particular copyrighted work (in this case it seems to be the movie Juno). The article is not commented on the work, but on the form it happens to be taking.

- This photo clearly depicts Sicilian Mafiosi, Gaspare Pulizzi, being escorted by the Carabinieri after his arrest in Palermo on November 5, 2007. It is an important event pertaining to this individual and is being used in the article solely to identify the individual, especially since there is no free alternative anywhere in the internet which would adequately give the same information. I believe that the photo is being used under fair use terms as per US copyright law and only once in the article. It is of sufficiently good quality and is an iconic image of him. I dont see any appropriate reason as to why this image should be deleted. Joyson Noel ( talk) 14:12, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

- I believe that the photo is being used under fair use terms as per US copyright law and only once in the Anthony Provenzano article. This photo is merely being used to identify the individual (who is now deceased), especially since there is no free alternative anywhere in the internet which would adequately give the same information. It is of sufficiently good quality and is an iconic image of him. Moreover, the picture obviously depicts an important event pertaining to this individual (i.e, Provenzano being arrested by the police and questioned by the press). I dont see any appropriate reason as to why this image should be deleted. Joyson Noel ( talk) 14:06, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

- Keep. I have now changed my opinion. This rule applies mostly to contemporary press photos and not necessarily to historical archives of press photos. Since this photo was taken in the early or mid 1980's (Anthony Provenzano died in 1988), it is a historical photograph and should be kept as such.

- No, you have confused historical with historic (easy to do, especially since they did used to mean the same thing). howcheng { chat} 17:17, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
- I still hold my position. The wikitionary article defines the term "Historical" as "pertaining to the history, to what happened in the past." The photo depicts the arrest of Provenzano when he was charged for racketeering in the mid-80's, which i believe was an important historical event pertaining to this individual.

- Right, and I am telling you that the example of unacceptable use I cited exempts historic images ( Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima, V–J day in Times Square), not merely historical ones. howcheng { chat} 16:20, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
- So, do you agree with me that the image should not be deleted?
Joyson Noel (
talk) 17:01, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
- Umm, no. You stated that the photo was historical, not historic. And I said that only historic photos are exempt. How does one tell the difference? Well, historic photos usually are accompanied by reams of documentation that indicate why they are historic. Pulitzer Prize for photography, or perhaps you get a newspaper article, book, or even a film made just about that photo. Show me the influence this photo has had on culture or other events, and that's how it gets to stay in the article. howcheng { chat} 23:27, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
- Allright, if thats the case, then i agree with you. Actually, you stated that the example of unacceptable use you cited exempts historic images not merely historical images which led me to be confused as to your actual position. Joyson Noel ( talk) 06:50, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Important Notice: Yes, the image is probably irreplaceable because it shows a deceased person. What's being called into discussion here is our right to freely duplicate a work by a news agency.

- Its a very notable and especially irreplaceable image in Arafat's and modern Palestine's history depicting the "founders" of the two most prominent (and rival) Palestinian political and militant organizations warmly greeting each other showing the previous unity of the Palestinians. There isn't any other such image and both men are dead today (and Fatah and Hamas are at war at the present) so there will never be another encounter between the two men. Also it better illustrates the section in the article describing Arafat/Fatah's relations with Hamas and other groups. -- Al Ameer son ( talk) 21:29, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
