Image:One drop rule.jpg (delete | talk | history | logs) - uploaded by Muntuwandi (notify | contribs).
No agenda, it is just a collage of an African woman, a caucasian woman and a multiracial woman. Nothing else is implied. I believe this is a bad faith nomination Muntuwandi 05:12, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete It's difficult to say what the collage depicts. And which woman is caucasian and which is multiracial? Both the lighter women look multiracial to me. -- fourdee ᛇᚹᛟ 05:21, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep My first reaction was to delete, as the images seemed stupid. But in the context of the white folk article, the images actually work. No reason to delete. --Knulclunk 21:24, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Deleting a picture because one dislikes one possible interpretation of it is not a legitimate motive, as the picture in and of itself isn't objectionable. Possible inclusion of this picture is currently being debated at Talk:White people, so it can't be deleted on the grounds of being orphaned either.--Ramdrake 23:00, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    • Comment: I don't see anywhere in the picture or in the caption that purports that Angelina Jolie is "100% White" (whatever this might mean) or that surgery might have altered anything of importance here.--Ramdrake 01:09, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • Comment Ramdrake, the purpose of the picture is to show the one drop rule. Having 3 non-whites is not showing it at all, as both Angelina and Mariah aren't white, and what is that black lady? --Phral 01:13, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
        • Comment: Yes and you can illustrate the one-drop rule by placing side by side somebody who'd be widely acknowledged as black (the lady on the left), somebody who'd be widely acknowledged as white (Angelina Jolie is widely acknowledged as white), and the picture of Mariah Carey in the middle, who would be determined as black according to the one-drop rule in the middle for comparison purposes. The info is all factual, and the reader is free to draw his or her own conclusions.--Ramdrake 01:20, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • The image is complete OR and is again being used by Muntuwandi to push his Afrocentric POV. The image has been completely thrown out by editors on Talk:White People. It is unscientific, there is no reliable source that defines light skin by comparing deeply tanned John Kerry with an albino देसीफ्राल 05:15, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • This image does not meet the first criterion required for claiming Fair Use. As listed on the policy page (Wikipedia:Non-free_content#Policy), number one says: "Non-free content is used only where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose." The product in the picture exists and can be bought, which means a free equivalent could be created in little time. I've left two messages on related pages (Image talk and Uploader talk) with no response. ALTON .ıl 07:30, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    • The source is very clearly listed on the page as coming from the National Archives and Records Adminsitration in College Park. Someone could probably write them and verify this. (National Archives at College Park, 8601 Adelphi Road College Park, MD 20740-6001). Also, someone should REALLY block the user who made a blatant personal attack on the talk page of the image [1] and followed it up with quasi-legal statements about accusing another user of being a "high priced lawyer" [2]. The user was not blocked in any way. -71.11.149.144 15:34, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • And yet another personal attack discovered where the same user called an unregistered account "Dear Dickhead" [3]. Someone should really block this person. -71.11.149.144 15:44, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This one's awfully hard to follow. NARA seems to claim it is in the public domain, but another party sells the image (apparently, all links to this are dead), making some question whether it's actually PD. I can't see any reason to doubt that it's in the public domain. If any new evidence exists, feel free to renominate. – Quadell (talk) (random) 01:34, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Surely copyvio, a lot of files by this uploader were deleted in the past. Polarlys 15:45, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not deleted. I don't see any evidence of a copyvio. Yes, this user has had some (not many) images deleted, but those were ones he tagged as "fair use". He seems to understand the difference, and doesn't claim PD on many images. So I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, unless evidence of a violation is found. – Quadell (talk) (random) 01:53, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    • Keep. This is not a minor role. John Cleese as Q (a famous and popular character) is a big deal and it shows the actor in question as the character. Nothing is wrong with this image. There is no better substitute for an image like this. It's being used correctly under fair use and cannot be replaced except by another screenshot from the same movie.

Marked as promotional with a source by "self" and while that may be true, it does not show the actor on screen as the character in question. The image is clearly being used to show what the character looked like as played by that actor. There is nothing wrong with this image. K1Bond007 22:52, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted. The free replacement image is used in the article with the caption "Desmond Llewelyn as Q". I think it's fair to say the image depicts Desmond Llewelyn as Q, and thus it would adequately replace the non-free image. Also, I see no evidence that the free image is a copyvio.

  • Keep. The information is verified right on the source page that is linked to from the article. The author is listed as "anonymous or pseudonymous". That is, the image was published with no author name and with a copyright 1936 pseudonymously listed as the Nobel Organization, so it's public domain in the EU at minimum. And, a search of the copyright office records does not reflect any copyright renewal as would be required to extend copyright in the US beyond the year 1964, so it's in the public domain in the US. ...

  • Keep Enough with this nonsense. Learn about copyright law before you nom every damned picture on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jim62sch (talk • contribs)
  • Comment: The Nobel Foundation is not anonymous or pseudonymous. They claim copyright on this image, and (since it was taken after 1923) it's very plausible that they still hold the copyright. All they would have had to do is renew it, and the searches above can not comprehensively show that copyright was not renewed. I think we should believe the Nobel Foundation, that they hold the copyright. That said, it seems to me that the use of this image could pass all our NFCC, if a rationale were written. – Quadell (talk) (random) 15:30, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I will not turn a public domain work into NFC, especially given the vicious opposition that attends to that designation in WP at present. Quoting my statement above: "... a search of the copyright office records does not reflect any copyright renewal as would be required to extend copyright in the US beyond the year 1964, so it's in the public domain in the US." In the EU, a calculation of "p.m.a. plus 70 years" requires a natural person as the author, otherwise it's anonymous or pseudonymous, and the copyright expires after 70 years from first publication. ... Kenosis 18:30, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • There's no good evidence that it's PD. (Many renewed copyrights are not listed in the links you give.) If you don't want to tag it as NFC, it will have to be deleted. – Quadell (talk) (random) 01:58, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Look see, I happen to be in Washington, DC frequently, and there are virtually no photographs renewed, period. Quadell knows as well as I do that this photograph was never renewed, yet Quadell just overrided the consunsus here to impose a unilateral decision against the evidence. And, even lacking 100% concrete proof that there is no renewal, e.g., a statement from the Nobel Foundation that they never renewed copyrights in the US, it's still demonstrably public domain in the EU. Did Quadell forget that? We just discussed it two paragraphs above. ... Kenosis 16:05, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • If you think my actions were inappropriate, you're free to bring this up at WP:DRV, WP:ANI, or wherever you think the appropriate forum is. I stand by my closing decision. (By the way, our servers are located in the U.S., so if the U.S. considers an image to be copyrighted then we can't consider it free, even if it's PD elsewhere.) – Quadell (talk) (random) 02:29, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
