  • Orphaned, Obsolete (Image without watermarks, Image:Crew of STS-107, official photo.jpg, is used in article and stored on commons) BigrTex 00:33, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment: when there is a duplicate on commons, a template can be added to the en wiki image page for administrators to check and then delete. Do these duplicates need to be listed here? Snowman (talk) 10:33, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Response: The template ({{ncd}}) requires that all of the conditions of WP:CSD#I8 be met, and there are quite a few. The biggest is that the image on commons be bit-for-bit identical. ~ BigrTex 16:17, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Uploader was apparently using their userpage to host course notes. It is not clear whether the images are really {{PD-self}}, although it appears that many were generated with an open source tool (Quite Universal Circuit Simulator). I am not able to determine whether they have encyclopedic value or not, but we are not a host for images any more than we are a host for course notes. BigrTex 05:28, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Flag of Göktürks.svg edit

This flag has no source whatsoever, and furthermore users keep reverting edits that remove this unsorced flag. I have tagged it with deletion due to this. Rcduggan (talk) 13:19, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am merely removing the flag because it has no sources. I can't read Turkish, and in any case "Can Dündar's" website does not work. And please, a picture on a website does not prove the flag was actually used. To quote Flags of the World (which another version of the flag uses as its source: "To the best of our knowledge, the historical existence of most of these flags is not proven..."

So the flag is not proven to have existed, so it does not belong on Wikipedia. And no personal attacks, please.Rcduggan (talk) 17:35, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong keep. There are sources about the flag (e.g. Lev Gumilev ... etc.) as explained in the talk page of the image (here). However, i wonder whether there exists sources claiming the contrary (this flag is not the Gokturk's flag). Unless it's falsified, i'm in favor of keeping the image. It's sourced (Gumilev is a well-known expert on Turkic history) and informative about the mythological symbols used by the Gokturks. Regards. E104421 (talk) 11:18, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Unfree image used where it would have been perfectly feasible for a free alternative to be created, there is also nothing from preventing permission from being sought to use this or a similar image used instead. Just because a photographer from Wikipedia/Commons wasn't there does not mean an unfree image can be used. Adambro (talk) 19:09, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Oppose - I don't think a free alternative can be created. Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 01:12, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      Of course a free alternative can't be created now but it could have and there is always the possibly that we may find someone to release an existing image under a free licence. However, simply the fact that no one from Wikipedia/Commons took a photo of this precise incident is not an excuse to use a unfree image. The rules on fair use are stricter than that. Otherwise why would we use any free images if we could all just sit at home whilst the torch relay goes on then claim fair use of images afterwards. Adambro (talk) 05:46, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose deletion -- Photographically, this is the most clear shot image of an incident that will not be repeated for photography purposes.

    Stop it with the nonsense Dongwenliang. Nominating two images which I feel we shouldn't be using for deletion is the complete opposite to "abusing wikipedia deletion policies", nor is it "wikipedia distortion", nor am I "using wikipedia as a tool to promote coldwar on internet".

  • Comment: people should not that ballot stuffing doesn't work here.
  • Strong support: This is not the first time a controversial image has been uploaded, and then deleted according to the policy. To qualify as "Fair use", the image needs to be crucial for the article in question, which 2008 Summer Olympics torch relay is clearly not. Fair use rationale will qualify only iff the article is about Jin Jing, or the attack on her.--Jahilia (talk) 23:12, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • How is this not crucial? This event sets this particular olympic torch relay apart from most other relays for it's violence. Furthermore, discussion is taking place on the [talk page] about a possible split, leading to an article that focuses on the protesting that occurred. If the split occurs, the importance of the image only escalates (and if split doesn't not occur, the picture is still important, as I've already mentioned. --Steven (talk) 05:01, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • This is how it is not crucial: Fair Use. It is not magic! If the article splits, move the image here. By the very rules of Wikipedia for Fair Use, the image should present the subject of the article, which is neither "kick", "scratch", or Jin Jing. If you really don't want the image to get deleted, move it to Jin Jing - you will have much better case of non-deletion - and I will support you. The image itself does not qualify to be in the article about Torch relay. And by the way, the incident didn't "set it apart" to any other relay - Chinese insistence to politicize the relay set it apart.--—Preceding unsigned comment added by Jahilia (talk • contribs)
        • Clarification: The article is about 2008 Summer Olympics torch relay. This image is about 2008 Summer Olympics torch relay. This image depicts one event that set this torch relay apart from the majority of the others: there was excessive violence against the torch bearer; there was excessive violence against a disabled torch bearer. It presents the the readers of the article the fact that the torch relay experienced demonstrators, and violent ones at that. We currently have no pictures of this. I see this picture as being significant where it stands. It is definitely more important then the 4 images we have of the security around the torch bearer (since each additional picture has no added value to the article) and probably more important then the 5 images we have of the "peaceful demonstration" as again, each picture brings no additional significance to the article. Why do we have those pictures (when wikipedia is clearly an encyclopedia and not an image gallery) but not ones that have significance to the article?
FURTHERMORE, please clarify how the CHINESE were the ones that politicized the relay? The chinese are the ones that are attempting to prevent boycotting, which is involvement of politics into the games. The simple fact that the foreigners are attacking the China via Tibet and the Olympic games indicates the willingness of the foreigners to involve politics into the games. --Steven (talk) 04:45, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose: The copyright owner is not known as per the image description page, so getting a license from an unknown person is out of the question. The attack incident(s) happened spontaneously, probably with quite a few photographers from the press, and I don't think it would be easy (i.e. feasible) to convince a media outlet to give out free photos to wikipedia. And let me be frank: why single out these photos? Because they paint the supposedly "peaceful" protesters in a bad light? I personally doubt your motives. Sydneyfong (talk) 11:41, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Super strong Support: At least an image is available, which explains story of some incident, people or event. What are we trying to aim by deletion. By deleting a mere picture, are we trying to change the fact or trying to hide it from the world. Weather copyright or not I think as acitizen earth has all right to know what's happening on my planet

    • Wikipedia is not "earth". Wikipedia is encyclopaedia. If you want news read THAT(tm). The image has been used a lot of media - and they all licensed it! It is the importance of image that calls for strict Fair use.

Oppose: There is no free alternative image to be replaced with, and there is absolutely no images of protesters attempting to steal the torch on Wikipedia at all. --haha169 (talk) 16:58, 16 April 2008 (UTC) (UTC)[reply]

STRONGLY OPPOSE. True depiction of a major event and no other alternative. __earth (Talk) 07:16, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strongly Oppose: There is no free alternatives available and this image is not used for commercial purposes and therefore it should be kept. The images illustrates the violent protester trying to snatch the torch away. This is evidence that this incidence happened and a photo for proof is therefore required. --Bleedingshoes (talk) 19:33, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    We don't need this image as evidence that it happened, that is what citing reliable sources is for. We're striving to create an encyclopaedia under a free licence which anyone can use, whilst it might be claimed that we might not be using the image for commercial purposes, an argument which I'm not convinced by, this means that by using unfree images it makes it more difficult for our content to be reused. Adambro (talk) 19:37, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strongly Oppose: This image provides an important symbol regarding Tibetan protesters and the 2008 Torch Relay. A picture tells a thousand words. Don't you think us Chinese have been demonized enough already? This image shows a clear example of what the other side strives to achieve - to completely ruin the 2008 Olympics and smear the face of the Chinese people. Benlisquare (talk) 03:23, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strongly Oppose: In two aspects: 1) this was a truly historical moment happened never before in modern Olympic history that a free-Tibetan attacks a handicapped girl as the sacred torch bearer in Olympic torch relay; 2) the author has publically consented the release of his picture as "...Yang is glad to see his improvised action help so many people understand ..." for releasing pictures of the same event to the internet. See the picture author's remark Gpit (talk) 20:24, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    What evidence is there to suggest that this was taken by Yang Zhendong? Regardless, unless we have an explicit statement releasing this under an appropriate free licence then it remains unfree.

comment Caption? Which? This is a discussion about the image and not its use on any particular article. Your comment about the caption clearly reveals your own POV, and you listing "POV" as a reason for deletion shows your own intent to delete an image simply because you do not like what you see. Unacceptable. Please fuck off. Herunar (talk) 15:14, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The caption is the one attached as the descriptor on the image itself ("Violent Olympic protestor attacking handicapped torchbearer"). The title of the img. file reveals a similar bias. The rhetoric is inflamatory (as, we might note, is yours. Please modify your tone).71.9.8.150 (talk) 18:13, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Most captions bear within it the name of the image, since viewers refer to the captions rather then the image name. By challenging the POV of the caption and title of this image on the grounds of repetition, you are challenging the POV of many images on wikipedia, such as this image, which is a Featured picture. Secondly, no word within either the title nor the caption pertain a bias overtone. The words "violent" "olympic" "protestors" are used purely for description purposes, and by in no way does it have a slant. If one was to call it "A peaceful olympic protest" one would either A) be blind, or B)be ignorant. Violent is used to describe, as that is the use of captions, and it is, I believe, unchallenged that this particular shot is one of violent acts against the bearer. --Steven (talk) 22:54, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

      Of course a free alternative can't be created now but it could have and there is always the possibly that we may find someone to release an existing image under a free licence. However, simply the fact that no one from Wikipedia/Commons took a photo of this precise incident is not an excuse to use a unfree image. The rules on fair use are stricter than that. Otherwise why would we use any free images if we could all just sit at home whilst the torch relay goes on then claim fair use of images afterwards. Adambro (talk) 05:52, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also, in credit to the photographer, the image is a worthwhile photo in its own right, and therefore enhances the quality of the images on wikipedia and the commons. Retaining this image should not violate any policies because there is no intent to mislead the viewer as to the origin of the photo. If you support the delete rational, I urge you to consider the matter holistically rather than simply consulting the rule book; that kind of behavior leads to unnecessary deletes and devaluing of the content available. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.108.22.158 (talk) 02:43, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    • Comment: The Olympics are an important part of modern world history. The Olympic torch relay is an important part of the modern Olympics.

  • STRONGLY OPPOSE: I don't know if my opinion/vote is worth anything considering I'm not registered (and I'm not planning on it) but I think the picture should be kept to display the lengths some protesters went to show their disapproval of China being allowed to host the games. This is an encyclopedia after all, and if it's willing to detail the events that went on it may as well do it in full, with as much proof and fact as possible. I would also like to add that it's bullshit how many images get deleted off here because of this nonsense. 172.207.200.9 (talk) 12:34, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    We don't need unfree images to illustrate this, we can cite reliable sources which demonstrate the disapproval of China hosting the games.

  • Strong Oppose If this was a picture of a building or something that could easily have been taken at any time then I would agree with the deletion however for news stories like this, even though there were rumours of trouble, it is unreasonable to suggest that a free replacement could have been created.

  • Consensus: From interpretation of the article "He mad the file available..." after people "contacted Yang for a copy" indicates a release onto the internet for people to use publicly. Furthermore, as the opposition has stated, the importance and uniqueness of the image warrants the files usage. I therefore propose the removal of the tag immediately from the image page, by a Wikipedian more qualified then me. --Steven (talk) 23:57, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • When and how did you get to decide consensus. Importance and uniqueness do not warrant unlawful usage. A random statement from "people" does not prove they are not lying. A proper proof, at least an email is required. I do not see why this image is more special than thousands of images that get tagged and deleted everyday. Mr. Yang Zhendong happiness does not warrant a blatant disregard of procedures - history of IP is full of such incident (see here and here)--Jahilia (talk) 08:42, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Dear sir, I'm glad to tell you that Adambro has successfully contacted Mr. Yang. Hopefully we can resolve "unlawful usage" soon. Cherry933 (talk) 09:55, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        This is just about resolved with the photographer agreeing to release this image under a free license. I'll sort this all out later today when I get chance, I'm intending to delete this image from WP and upload the freely released image to Commons with the required info.

  • Orphaned, low quality, possible copyright violation. The image source is identified as a webpage, but this webpage does not identify the ultimate source or author of the image, and may be violating copyright. Nick Graves (talk) 23:41, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Orphaned non-free images can be tagged for speedy deletion i5. Jackaranga (talk) 11:00, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment For the record, its only orphaned because Nick Graves himself removed it. Obviously that in itself doesn't detract from its lack of copyright info, though.--CyberGhostface (talk) 11:40, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I'm not able to run the site through a translator but the site says that everything is copyrighted under Lietuvos.net ©. If someone fluent in Spanish (I'm guessing that's what the site is) wouldn't mind sending a message to the administrator asking him about the picture's copyright information, I would appreciate it.--CyberGhostface (talk) 11:54, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The website is definitely not in Spanish. My guess is Lithuanian. The images in the article appear to be scans from various sources, including books and newspapers. There is also what appears to be a photograph of a photograph, perhaps from a museum display. I think the odds that this website actually owns these images is pretty low.
