Why this image cannot be replaced
This image is of one of the 2 leaders of the Tamil Jain community. The community is a micro community of ~83000 in India. In addition, the community is under represented on WP and on the internet in general. This image seeks to give a face to the religious head of that community. A free image could not be found because it doesn't exist in the public domain and will probably never exist. The subject cannot be adequately represented in an encyclopedic manner without using the non-free content.--Aayush18 (talk) 20:09, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- He's still alive. What's to stop someone taking a picture of him? J Milburn (talk) 19:57, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm pretty sure if this gets deleted, so will File:S_Sripal,_ex_DGP,_Chennai,_India.jpg. If one is kept, both will be kept. So my logic for this is the same as at File_talk:S_Sripal,_ex_DGP,_Chennai,_India.jpg. If you feel the 2 should be discussed independently, let me know.--Aayush18 (talk) 20:09, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
