Fails WP:NFG there is no well-justified reason why this gallery is needed, the logos are not discussed in article at all and appear to be used only in a decorative way. LGA talkedits 01:33, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned, sourced to random website, while the underlying photo is likely to be public domain, the original phtoo would have been black and white so this colorized version involves creativitity and is likely copyrighted Calliopejen1 (talk) 04:23, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: deleted. Foundation:Resolution:Licensing policy says that we cannot use a fair use image "where we can reasonably expect someone to upload a freely licensed file for the same purpose". For anyone who was alive and a public figure in the digital camera age, there's a reasonable expectation that we could receive a freely licensed photo. Please see also this comment from Jimbo (He said at the time that it was not yet policy - it has since become policy.) "In general, ordinary publicity photos of celebrities should not be used in Wikipedia unless they are released under a free license. We are powerful enough now that we can insist on this, and get it, from just about any celebrity, or we can get a free photo in a number of different ways. Using fair use in such cases discourages us from creatively looking for a way to enlarge the commons." --B (talk) 18:25, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This person has been dead only a week and as a model would have countless photographs taken of her, there is a high chance one of those could be released CC-BY-SA and used as a replacement. LGA talkedits 08:25, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that "could" is the key word here. As you mention, Googling her name reveals a large number of images; however, none of them are free. Logically, any copyright owner of any photograph could give Wikipedia permission to use their image. But many don't, so we are stuck using fair use images for deceased persons.

This is meant to be a Free Encyclopedia, the key word is free, there is no indication here that an exhaustive search has been done, it can't have been only a week has passed since her death. Has her agent been contacted and asked if they have a picture that can be released, what about the model agencys she has worked for ? Until those very basic steps have been taken then there remains a high chance of a image being released. LGA talkedits 01:05, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
