*'''Endorse''' - The nom was well argued and I don't see a similar argument to keep the template - people might not call the language they speak "British English", but they certainly don't call it "European English" - not to mention the fact that millions of native English speakers don't live in Europe!! In reality, of course, they usually just call it "English". The <nowiki>{{Template:British-English}}</nowiki> is sufficient here - the only other NPOV names I can see that it could have is "Commonwealth English". |

**Quite. And it needs to be discussed in the IfD as to whether this image meets NFCC, so that is an argument for undeletion. As pointed out above, NFCC does not specifically prohibit press agency images. It also needs to be decided whether this is a violation of copyright.

One use is for an image to "illustrate historically significant events".

As pointed out above, NFCC does not specifically prohibit press agency images. It also needs to be decided whether this is a violation of copyright. If it is a legitimate fair use, then no copyright violation is involved. The Foundation "permits the upload of copyrighted materials that can be legally used in the context of the project". One use is for an image to "illustrate historically significant events". This is not something an admin should unilaterally decide when there is a discussion in place about it, particularly when the discussion is going against the view of that admin, who is at the same time engaging and !voting on similar debates on the very same IfD page.

::::You insist on head-counting, but the closing admin is supposed to weight arguments. The nomination was concerning the use of an image proceduced by a commercial news source, but '''none of the keep arguments addressed the matter raised by the nomination''', even with a legible NOTICE on the nomination warning about this common mistake. MBisanz's argument for keep was that the image "''would not be replaceable''", what was a complete no-issue. Mjroots's argument was also about the inexistence of a free alternative and the impossibility to "''recreate the exact image''". How does this address the concerns raised by the nomination? Tyrenius's vote was just a recitation that the image ''meets WP:NFCC''" with no further explanation, other than a link to a talk he started (and concluded nothing of interest). Nyttend's vote was an attack on the nominator (yours truly) that he pasted on almost every other image on that IFD page. Any admin would be right to ignore these head-counts. --] 12:35, 27 August 2008 (UTC) | ::::You insist on head-counting, but the closing admin is supposed to weight arguments.

**There is no comparison between this case and the one you cite. Free Republic was reproducing whole articles en masse. This is just a small part of the original article on the BBC site. This is also why the speedy deletion citing ] I6 is invalid and shows the difference between a press (as in photo) agency and a broadcaster. The agency's sole output is the photo. In the case of the BBC article, the photo was a small part of the output, which was mostly the text in their article.

***The work in question was a photograph. We are reproducing it in its entirety, and therefore derpiving the BBC of its ability to re-sell the image, if in fact it was an image taken by the BBC. I see no reason to distinguish between the BBC's News & Current Affairs department and any other journalistic body. ] (]) 09:18, 29 August 2008 (UTC) | ***The work in question was a photograph.

The following is an archived debate of the deletion review of the article above. Please do not modify it. |
Template:European-English (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) (restore | cache) here is the deletion log for a template. I know that wikipedia is not a democracy, but is a meritocracy. This discussion shows support and opposition over its deletion and works out 50/50 for each. However administrator User:Happy-melon claims that "The result of the debate was Delete" even though there was no consensus from the wiki-community (see the TFD above). The real result of the discussion was no consensus for deletion. User:Happy-melon has decided to use his admin powers and delete the
template because he personally disagrees with it, not because there was a consensus from the wiki-community. If admins are going to delete things for personnel reasons instead of going by the discussion, then why have these discussions? I believe this may be User:Happy-melon using his admin powers to suit his own WP:POV, instead of using them responsibly and for the intended purposes, which he was granted with them for. He even told users to "Get over it".

The following is an archived debate of the deletion review of the article above. Please do not modify it. |
Image:Chillenden windmill blown down.jpg (edit | ] | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (restore | cache | AfD) I believe that the image should not have been deleted as it is irreplaceable and had a valid fair use rationale. Image was deleted despite discussion here in which other editors were agreeing that the images' use in the Chillenden Windmill article was justified. Mjroots (talk) 13:33, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
Comment Reason given for deletion was NFCC#2, which is - Respect for commercial opportunities. Non-free content is not used in a manner that is likely to replace the original market role of the original copyrighted media. The original market role of the original copyrighted media was to tell a news story. The purpose of the image in the article is to illustrate a part of the history of the windmill, not to tell a news story. Therefore the reason given for deletion is not a valid one in my opinion. Mjroots (talk) 19:59, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
Question If I uploaded a different image, which was not from a Press Agency, with appropriate licence and rationale, such as this one, would it get to stay in the article?
For information The image was raised at IfD on August 21 but the image was deleted before the IfD discussion had run its full course. General consensus there was to keep the image. Mjroots (talk) 08:29, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
