Non-free image of a living guy from the army. Damiens.rf 12:34, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- Keep, as uploader: His notability is based on his military years, making this image relevant to the biography. This obvious fact is proven by his publisher's use of the same photo on the cover of his book, clearly a relevant use. It would be helpful for an image tagger to at least read the article where an image is used, since a rationale like "image of a living guy from the army," indicates an active unconcern with relevance or details. --Wikiwatcher1 (talk) 19:35, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

- The "details" surrounding his notability, as described in the article.--Wikiwatcher1 (talk) 20:42, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- Keep He indeed is alive, but how he looked during the actions for which he is famous for is the key component here. A picture of him now is well out of context; A picture of him 65+ years ago cannot be replaced with an image taken today. Should a free alternative be found, it should be tagged ASAP. — BQZip01 — talk 21:27, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

The FUR doesn't appear to fully account for how the image is not replaceable by any free content and for in what way it would be detrimental to readers' understanding of the topic if they did not see it. ╟─TreasuryTag►Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster─╢ 17:21, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- What exactly is your problem, TreasuryTag? Someone kill a puppy in front of you or something? HalfShadow 17:33, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- Keep the subject is Silence (Doctor Who), remove it from the episode only. Tbhotch* ۩ ۞ 19:22, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- WP:NOREASON provided for keeping the image. ╟─TreasuryTag►Africa, Asia and the UN─╢ 19:24, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- WP:NFCC#1 Unless we have free images of a copyrighted subject, there's no reason for delete it. Tbhotch* ۩ ۞ 19:26, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- Wrong, wrong and wrong. Unless we have free content then the image can be used. For instance, if the Silent can be adequately described in words, then there is no need for the image. Which brings me onto WP:NFCC#8 – you are required to demonstrate that if the image were deleted, this would harm readers' understanding of the article in which it is used. ╟─TreasuryTag►First Secretary of State─╢ 19:31, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- Illogical, should we remove Miley Stewart and many other non-free images of non-free characters as well? I as a reader find value of that image of that alien. It helps me to understand what is a "Silence", and by words itself, it won't help me to understand it. "A Silence is a kind of alien. They have brown skin and long faces", this is the most probable description you would give, and it is not helpful. Also, do not notify me about your replies, I'm watching the page. Tbhotch* ۩ ۞ 19:38, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- Your WP:OSE comparisons are unhelpful. You need to answer these three questions more conclusively than you have done. One—is it impossible to adequately describe the subject of the image in words? Two—if the article did not have an image, would readers' understanding of the overall topic be severely diminished? Three—is the actual content of the image, as in the appearance of the Silent, subject to significant critical commentary in the article? Unless all the answers are 'yes' then this file must be deleted. ╟─TreasuryTag►most serene─╢ 20:47, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- Well, your
misuse of essays is unhelpul as well. Thiz iz a seriouz bisness, try to use polices and guidelines, not the voice of the people. Tbhotch* ۩ ۞ 20:52, 25 April 2011 (UTC)- (edit conflict) Now answering your questions: 1.- Yes, I've already did it; 2.- Hell yes, how readers will know what is a "Silence"? Silent?, Silent?, two Silents?; 3.- Yes, the problem here is not the image, is the deletionist. Tbhotch* ۩ ۞ 21:00, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- The problem here is not the image, is the deletionist. So now you've started on the personal attacks in lieu of proper arguments I won't be responding to you again. But I will just say that your answers are, all three of them, incorrect. In particular, your answer to Number 2 seems to believe that people will only look at the image and not read the article. If the article is decently-written (and I'll agree that it's crap at the moment, but as long as it has the potential to be decently-written) then people should not be left thinking, "What is a Silent?" ╟─TreasuryTag►belonger─╢ 21:02, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- Do not confunse personal attacks with other stuff. If I'd said hidden note that is a personal attack, and you immediately open something at ANI, and again I ask you to left essays, that are not rules and they must be deleted. This is absurd, such as your FFD. Nonsense to talk to you, since you are not successfully cooperating, and in fact, you are taking this personal, when it is not.

- Keep for the single article. If an article is warranted, then a single visual depiction of the non-standard costuming (how do you describe THAT look in words?) is apropos. — BQZip01 — talk 21:30, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- Please point me towards whichever section of the non-free content criteria says, "Each article is automatically entitled to one non-free image." Or, alternatively, strike your comment above, apologise for making a mistake and make a new comment below explaining how the file in question meets the NFCC. ╟─TreasuryTag►presiding officer─╢ 21:48, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- Excuse me? Perhaps you should point out where I said "Each article is automatically entitled to one non-free image." I didn't and you've created a straw man argument.
- Your demands for an apology are WAY out of line here. I recommend you dial it back. I'm also not going to apologize for expressing an opinion.
- I believe this image meets our NFCC (both #1 and #8) with the current description on the image page. — BQZip01 — talk 22:08, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- You said, and I quote, "If an article is warranted, then a single visual depiction of the non-standard costuming is apropos." That is a general statement simply not consistent with Wikipedia's non-free content policy, and – delightful as the phrase, "dial it back," is – I will not be retracting nuffink. ╟─TreasuryTag►stannary parliament─╢ 22:18, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- I stand by that comment and it is completely in line with WP policies (there are hundreds of articles with no non-free images). The key phrase here is "non-standard". Contrary to your opinion above, "A Silence is a kind of alien. They have brown skin and long faces" does not substitute for an image. Since an alien from outer space is, by definition, a fictional being, that description holds no water. Superman was an alien, but he looked just like a human. E.T. was an alien too, but looked nothing like this alien. If all aliens looked as you described, they this would be an appropriate picture to replace all of them since it meets all your criteria. In short, it is, by definition, a copyrightable expression which cannot have a non-free replacement and a textual description alone would significantly decrease readers' understanding of the topic. The omission of the image is detrimental to understanding the topic. — BQZip01 — talk 22:31, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- I did not say that, "A Silence is a kind of alien. They have brown skin and long faces," was an adequate substitute. I don't know why you said that I did. ╟─TreasuryTag►duumvirate─╢ 10:19, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
- I stand corrected. However, it does seem to be what you are implying. Other articles such as Chewbacca, Klingon, Romulan, Ferengi, etc have already had this debate many times and consensus at this time is to keep a single image as they are the subject of critical commentary. If you believe consensus runs contrary, I recommend taking it to another board as this one is for individual images. — BQZip01 — talk 13:14, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

- Keep a picture says a thousand words (how I've wanted to say that for ages) - but seriously - limited written material which cannot do the critter justice - ergo a low res image is appropriate. Casliber (talk · contribs) 12:46, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
- And in what way would a reader fail to understand the article's subject completely merely by having a not-quite-perfect mental image of the monsters? They can still read about the development. They can still verify the information. ╟─TreasuryTag►cabinet─╢ 12:52, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
- Quite simple. Nothing in text will replace this image. Screenshots are permitted for critical commentary. — BQZip01 — talk 13:17, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
