November 23

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the media below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the media's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was: Speedy keep. It is pretty clear consensus is developing against deletion, and the nomination borders on disruption, given the article is featured on the main page. The image has also passed considerable scrutiny before. If you want to discuss this image agin, I recommend doing so after the article has rolled of the main page.

It doesn't pass WP:NFCC#8. It is a picture of two people looking at each other. Beerest 2 talk 19:58, 26 July 2013 (UTC) 00:06, 23 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not discussed critically, used as decoration - WP:NFCC#8 failure. Taylor Trescott - my talk + my edits 02:54, 23 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NFCC#8 failure. Not critical to the reader's understanding - shows two characters. There is no sourced discussion of this image in the article. Taylor Trescott - my talk + my edits 03:13, 23 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Having carefully reviewed the discussion here, the arguments for deletion are considerably more persuasive. In particular the arguments for keeping the image did not adequately explain how the image satisfies NFCC#8, that is how the image significantly increases readers' understanding of the article topic.

File:Night of the doctor regeneration.png (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Hammersfan (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).

Fails WP:NFCC#8 - image not subject to sourced commentary. Taylor Trescott - my talk + my edits 21:38, 23 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

By that rationale then every single screenshot used in a Doctor Who article should be debated - in any case, this particular screenshot displays the pivotal moment of the episode, the seconds prior to the Doctor's regeneration, which is not only pivotal to the episode itself, but a significant event in the recent history of Doctor Who. Hammersfan (talk) 16:49, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
So essentially what you're saying is that if there is a way to display the difference between Paul McGann in 1996 and Paul McGann in 2013, then that's fine? Hammersfan (talk) 10:34, 26 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Just make sure not to use original analysis or research. Just facts from sources. And about his portrayal as Eighth Doctor, but an administrator like Masem must approve fair use of non-free pic. --George Ho (talk) 08:13, 27 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Yes, he regenerates. No, the image is not necessary to understand that this is a regeneration scene (given that the details of the process of regeneration are discussed elsewhere). Yes, McGann looks much different from the TV movie to this short, but a free image of the actor today can be used to show how McGann looks at the time of filming. Fails NFCC#8 + #1. --MASEM (t) 20:56, 26 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No - NFCC says it has to "increase readers' understanding of the topic" - doesn't say anything about it having to be discussed by anyone. 188.223.5.95 (talk) 12:48, 27 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
How does this increas reader's understanding then. Beerest 2 talk 17:11, 27 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
NFCC#1 says the description of the image must be adequately sourced enough for fair use. Also, it says that the description must not make the image replaceable. The image is easy to describe, so it may fail. George Ho (talk) 01:22, 28 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The "Mona Lisa" is easy to describe: "Woman sitting with arms folded." But obviously my description isn't remotely a substitute for the image itself. A text description can never connect to the reader's memory the way an image can. Algr (talk) 06:56, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The Mona Lisa is no longer protected by copyright. Richard75 (talk) 12:34, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
That is beside the point. An image being easy to describe does NOT make it replaceable. Algr (talk) 07:38, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Would it not then be better to display both images beside each other in the same frame, as opposed to opposite sides of the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.175.1.108 (talk) 05:21, 28 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps you should read those arguments more carefully. WP:AGF Algr (talk)
  • Keep Nothing wrong with the pictures. Helps to illustrate what the episode was about. I don't understand what all the fuss is about. Mcs2050wiki (talk) 17:35, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • There is a faction who are utterly paranoid that someday someone might sue Wikipedia over image use, and another who want no images at all. Both are intersecting right now. Interesting to note clear evidence that some voting against the image have not bothered to actually read the article. As IP opinions are ignored in this venue there's no point in me giving a "vote" on this. In my opinion the only image that should be disallowed in this article is the one of the postage stamp. 70.76.69.162 (talk) 15:05, 28 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. It's possible to make it work, but as it stands the rationale is extremely weak. We don't need an image to explain that the grail makes him regenerate. - New Age Retro Hippie (talk) (contributions) 04:44, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This image does not significantly add to the article. Yes, it shows that McGann looks quite different than in the 1996 movie (many years older, shorter hair), but I do not think that criteria alone is enough to keep it; the scenes in the ship would illustrate that better. Other users' comments that this is a pivotal scene are not significant as the sequence is sufficiently described in the article and the image does not add sufficiently to the reader's understanding of that scene.

  • Keep - helps illustrates the article. Jonesy702 (talk) 16:26, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - explain the story and gives you visual representation of the character. Thanks Kelvin 101 (talk) 21:48, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
