  • Not clear who holds the copyright. The uploader was a one-edit wonder and cannot be contacted. The image may be a copyvio. There are others of this person, and it's also orphaned, so it's not essential that we keep it (see search results; I will create a Commons category for Khan soon). Should this be deleted or moved to Commons? Richard001 (talk) 03:45, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as a copyright violation of this [1]. So please no transfer to commons with this image. --Kanonkas :  Talk  13:24, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Copyrighted picture of a living Australian. Damiens.rf 16:00, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Fails the Non-free Content Criteria because he's still living. —Mizu onna sango15Hello! 04:42, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I do not understand that argument. I thought free use images of the article's subject were both allowed and common on articles about living people. So keep. --Bduke (talk) 01:11, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • No, they're not, it's as simple as that. This vote has no substance. Fut.Perf. 08:05, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per my argument in above image. This person's image was important to their career. The image of a politician changes over time and after three decades, the image portrayed by a current photo would not necessarily serve the same purpose. The difference in 3 decades (photo date to present) warrants such an image. — BQZip01 — talk 03:50, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't understand why is it important to show how a given politician looked like at every point of his career. The article, for instance, does not address the point of how his look was crucial to his life achievements. --Damiens.rf 17:12, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's a matter of accuracy, not of why his look was crucial. We want articles to accurately represent people as they looked like when in power. JRG (talk) 12:40, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
"We" who? --Damiens.rf 12:54, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Users who understand the issues and who want to improve Wikipedia instead of deleting images all the time simply to annoy others and make a point that is not valid. JRG (talk) 02:17, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, living individual, still active in public, image replaceable. Accurate coverage of his political life doesn't depend on what he looked like at the time. Failing that, at a minimum, remove from the election article, where it's clearly non-essential. Fut.Perf. 07:47, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
While it doesn't depend on it, it is more accurate for the article if we include a contemporaneous picture of Hayden. He is known for being Opposition Leader in the 1980s not in 2008. We should be supporting and improving on the accuracy of the encyclopedia, not wrecking articles by deleting images for spurious reasons. JRG (talk) 02:18, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    This isn't a free image, it is copyrighted. — BQZip01 — talk 03:52, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Whoops, I meant fair use not free use. --Bduke (talk) 04:39, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well, you were mistaken, they are not generally allowed and common, it's as simple as that. You can't validly vote keep without an individual very good reason for an exception. Fut.Perf. 08:07, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Image is of the current individual's appearance. As he is alive, a current free photo can be taken, ergo, it is replaceable. Please note the distinction here with the last two images. — BQZip01 — talk 03:52, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Is it clear how recent this photo actually is? --Bduke (talk) 04:39, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, as per BQZip01 (in this case), and the general principle that politicians aren't notable because of their transient physical appearance at any particular age. Encyclopedic accuracy of our coverage of his political career doesn't depend on what he looked like. Fut.Perf. 07:50, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
