• Keep: Justin has nominated this as part of a series of FFDs on Black Mirror images made with no previous discussion or notification. They should have been discussed en masse first, rather than aggressively nominated in a spammy bot-like fashion. Justin is wrong to nominate the images for deletion as they satisfy NFCC#8: the captions provide critical commentary and the images are necessary for depicting either the world or the main character(s) of an episode; further justification is given on each non-free use rationale, on several talk pages and in several GA and FA reviews. Justin also attempts to supervote here by ignoring consensus established in many GA and FA reviews, where non-free rationales have been checked by each editor who passed an article. Additionally, many individual images have specific extra reasons why they are necessary to understand a feature of the episode.

  The distinct English setting was noted by reviewers, as it differs from the other series three episodes produced after the show's move to a U.S. company. I liked this image as a very clear depiction of an English setting (at least in my eyes). It is Lawther's acting, not his physical body, that garnered critical commentary (as well as Hector—maybe we could show them interacting) and a single frame chosen well is enough to portray how a character is acted. Perhaps you can suggest a better frame here. — Bilorv (talk) 19:22, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  Daveout, Where does WP:NFCC justify key aspects of stories? ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 01:43, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  @Koavf: Hi, Justin. Because a tv show (or a movie) rely heavily on visuals to tell a story. That's the heart of this type of audio-visual media. This isn't a book that relies solely on words. For that reason, I think it is important to show, visually, at least the most important character(s) or event(s) of the story. Readers could understand the gist of the story without the image? Probably. The inclusion of the image could increase the understanding of what is being described (as required by wp:nfcc)? In my opinion, YES!. Therefore it meets every criterion of wp:nfcc Daveout (talk) 02:24, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  Daveout, Including the entire episode would increase understanding, wouldn't it? ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 02:25, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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: no consensus to retain. The debate centered on WP:NFCC#1 and whether Ashby's presence in the image is an indispensable part of the encyclopedic content. Those advocating deletion contend that the same encyclopedic value could be gained from a freely licensed photo of mannequins in the same positions. Those advocating keep contend that the encyclopedic value is Ashby demonstrating the mannequins, not the mannequins themselves, and so there is a historical value that cannot be recreated.

Ultimately there is no consensus that the image satisfies the local or global non-free content policies. Usually a no consensus result defaults to the status quo which would be retention of the image. However our local policy requires a valid fair use rationale in order to retain non-free content, and so a result of no consensus defaults to delete. — Wug·a·po·des​ 04:49, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

File:Mrs Right and Mrs Wrong - Sylvia Ashby.png (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Chris.sherlock (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log). 

I am taking this to FFD because the original person who tagged this seems to believe that it has no place in the article. However, I wrote an entire part about this photo in the article Sylvia Rose Ashby. Other sources have cited this photo as well. What I wrote in the article is this:

In a later interview with Australian Women's Weekly, she showed two small wooden, jointed mannequins – one showing "Mrs. Right" and the other "Mrs. Wrong". Mrs. Right, she explained, "is erect, relaxed; the left arm (holding her bag and papers) is slightly to the rear; the right arm is forward; the head is slightly tilted – she is the epitome of confidence." Mrs. Wrong, however, "is a bundle of nerves; head downcast, bag clutched to her – the epitome of apologetic timidity." Those who displayed a lack of appropriate deportment, she maintained, would cause suspicion and sometimes hostility, and the interviewee would be unresponsive to questioning, leading to poor survey results.

This is literally illustrating this point, it is quite hard to see what she means without the photo. Chris.sherlock (talk) 10:00, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep – I see that the image is discussed at length in the article Sylvia Rose Ashby and is essential in illustrating a part of Ashby's methodology. I think the image meets WP:NFCI #9 and all of WP:NFCCP. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 13:43, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

So I think that it's now been several months into this discussion and there is no consensus to delete. - Chris.sherlock (talk) 11:52, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete (having followed the link from ANI). I know this isn't what you want to hear, but to me this is an absolutely clear-cut deletion. Since it's only used to illustrate the pose of the two artists mannequins, rather than the person behind them, it would be trivially easy to beg, borrow or steal two mannequins and photograph them in the same pose. As such, it doesn't meet WP:NFCC#1 {no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose)—which is WMF-mandated policy—and consequently whether or not it meets the subsidiary WP:NFCI (which is a guideline and always trumped by the policy section above it) is irrelevant. ‑ Iridescent 15:12, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • That’s not what it got tagged as. It was NFCC#8. - Chris.sherlock (talk) 06:46, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • A non-free use needs to comply with all ten of the WP:NFCCP and the use isn't considered policy compliant even if it only fails just one of the ten; so, it makes no real difference as to why a non-free file might have been originally tagged for deletion/review if another criterion is also subsequently determined not to be being met. -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:19, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • I still maintain that it complies with all ten of WP:NFCCP – there is no free equivalent image available of Ashby demonstrating her method. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 10:01, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        • As do I, and I respectfully disagree with Iridescent. In this case it is not about the mannequins solely, but the fact she used them, her opinion that she could use them to judge women based on their deportment and the fact she used them in such a way for publicity. It also highlights the prevailing views of women at the time, even from a strong, independent business woman. When they say an image is worth a thousand words, then this is a prime example of such a thing. - Chris.sherlock (talk) 11:08, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

            • Not sure who I’m responding to, but I did give a substantial argument for keeping the image, I didn’t just rest on the adage alone. - Chris.sherlock (talk) 03:46, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - I do see there being value in having Sylvia Rose Ashby in the background doing the demonstration and "essential in illustrating a part of Ashby's methodology." Having just two mannequins would not adequately replicate what is currently communicated in the picture and. Epachamo (talk) 16:20, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per WP:NFCC 1, 3, and 8. The contextually significant part of the image is the mannequins, not Ashby in the background. This part of the image can be reproduced and freely licensed. Another (non-free) image is already being used to identify Ashby. — JJMC89 (T·C) 20:08, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's not true. It is Ashby using the mannequins. She was literally demonstrating her usage of mannequins to make a point only she wanted to make. It's absolutely Ashby using the mannequins to make her point. Take Ashby out of the equation and there is no need to even mention them... so I'm not sure what "context" you are referring to! - Chris.sherlock (talk) 15:18, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep if it isn't clear, the context is Ashby using mannequins to demonstrate her opinion to The Women's Weekly that women needing proper deportment. It's ridiculous to say that you can actually replace this with a picture of mannequins without Ashby in it, the image literally shows what she was saying, in a historical context. - Chris.sherlock (talk) 15:21, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Neutral (leaning toward "(weak) delete") - As far as I see, a paragraph in Sylvia Rose Ashby#Formation of the Ashby Research Service (diff) describing the two mannequins seems to be cited by the source that also used the photo itself. I was close to voting for keep, but then I couldn't find other reliable sources in Google describing what Ashby was doing. I figure that other print sources covering this exists. As-is right now, I thought that Ashby's mannequin portrayals in the article appear overemphasized or over-detailed. "Contextual significance" is.... kinda murky to interpret at first; WP:NFC#CS clarified more, saying that undue weight and imbalance are discouraged. As said before, without other reliable sources proving the significance of the whole magazine interview, I would consider the paragraph too overly detailed. This sounds as if I would favor deletion, but then I see the image's potential. The picture was made decades ago, and seems to have been part of women's history. If more improvements proving significance associated with the photo have been made, then I would switch to "keep". George Ho (talk) 00:47, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I’m happy to improve this but I’m not clear how to do this. Did you need some commentary? - Chris.sherlock (talk) 01:38, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Besides just the magazine interview, Have you searched for available print sources, including digitally scanned ones and others unavailable online, depicting the two mannequins? George Ho (talk) 23:18, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, you mean an exact one where Ashby shows the mannequins in an almost identical interview? Well, no. But I have done extensive searches for all the newspaper and magazine articles she was ever reported in, and so far as I can see there is no such thing. I'm not sure what you are asking for here! It doesn't make much sense... besides which, Trove scanned in every publication she was ever involved in. - Chris.sherlock (talk) 13:53, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Since no other articles describing her using the two mannequins have been found as of date, I begin to see no benefit from keeping the image. Switching to, regrettably, delete. Whether the passage about her interview using the two mannequin can be left as-is or trimmed down to comply with WP:UNDUE is another issue that can be discussed at another time then. --George Ho (talk) 04:28, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I propose that the file be deleted because it doesn't meet WP:NFCC criteria #1 and #8. It is an image from The Simpsons on the article double negative used to illustrate the use of double negatives in film and television. It's not clear what makes the image from The Simpsons a particularly canonical example for this topic; it's just a single use of a double negative with no academic or critical commentary, not the first usage of its kind or a ground-breaking one. It has a free equivalent - simply describing the chalkboard gag in text - and its absence would not remove any knowledge of what double negatives are or how they are used in fiction. — Bilorv (talk) 22:19, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep An illustrative example of a real world usage that shows whimsy and humor. The iconic opening scene of Bart Simpson at the chalkboard, The Simpsons opening sequence#Chalkboard gag, is culturally relative. There is no free equivalent, so it WP:NFCC criteria #1.

Did it spark academic commentary, subsequent cultural allusions to it or widespread cultural recognition (the rationale describes it as "iconic" with no evidence provided)? Or is it just one of a million frames from a million different TV shows that we could screengrab? The "free equivalent" is describing the image if it's received widespread secondary source coverage, or describing actual long-term significant uses of double negatives in fiction if not. — Bilorv (talk) 11:06, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - I copied the chalkboard gag quote from "Hello Gutter, Hello Fadder" just to improve the text's conveyance of the gag itself in "double negative" article. Either the gag itself can be conveyed in computerized text alone, or the readers can go the episode link to see the gag in case that the quote is removed. We can trust most readers, including casual readers, to already grasp what the info says about The Simpsons episode. In other words, the screenshot neither adds anything new nor is necessary to illustrate words that already are grasped by readers. If an image is needed, then a freely licensed image should do. Even then, I don't think an image is needed. George Ho (talk) 02:05, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - You just strengthened the case for keeping it, thank you.--evrik ^(talk) 01:28, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  I think you misinterpret. Criterion #8 requires the screenshot to convey what the double negatives are mainly about, making deletion harmful to understanding what the article's main subject is about. WP:NFC#CS requires a file to comply with WP:DUE and WP:BALANCE, both part of WP:NPOV, even when an accompanying text is well sourced. However, the screenshot of one of Bart's chalkboard gags doesn't add anything new or valuable to understanding what double negatives are, and an image is not needed for the already-understood "In film and TV" section. The image is just showing Bart doing his (frequent?) penalty, which is already adequately explained at The Simpsons opening sequence#Chalkboard gag, making any screenshot of a chalkboard gag unneeded and unnecessary. Furthermore, the double negative itself is the article subject, not usage of the term "double negative" in pop culture, already made into a section. Also, the gag screenshot doesn't explain what the double negative generally is but rather an example already conveyed by a text without any non-free content.

File:Shocking blue venus Dutch vinyl.png (delete | talk | history | links | logs)

I uploaded the cover art of the Dutch single as replacement of the other image in 2015. Then I replaced the JPEG version with the PNG recently. Somehow, I found out that the Dutch cover art was replaced with the French cover art (eBay), using better image quality as rationale. Fortunately, I was able to reinsert the Dutch cover art before it would have been tagged as orphaned. I have wondered whether using both cover arts is compliant with WP:NFCC, especially "minimal number of items" and "contextual significance" criteria, MOS:MUSIC#Images and notation, and Template:Infobox album#Template:Extra album cover.

If such use complies with neither, and if only one image should be used, then I think the Dutch cover art (the one with the reddish background) should be kept and the other ditched out. Also, the band is Dutch, and the record label where the song was recorded is Dutch. Moreover, even though the song was successful worldwide, especially in the Netherlands, France, and the US, the single had different, various artworks. Even the US single used neither artwork but a different one. Using the Dutch cover art illustrates how the single was manufactured, marketed and targeted at the time of release and how to represent the band well, hopefully, without offending the band (or anyone else). The cover also conveys a meaning of the song title (probably just for the fun of it?). I can't be certain whether having an alternative cover is necessary. Furthermore, showing the image of the band was already done by a free image of the band, used in the article, so I don't know why else, besides image readability and quality and reducing quantity, the French cover art should be used in lieu of the Dutch cover art and the free band photo. George Ho (talk) 10:41, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A second image, while not necessary, is certainly permissible, especially for an original rendition of a major hit song, particularly when there is valid rationale for using either. - JGabbard (talk) 17:57, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Retain It's not going to break the encyclopedia to list both images. While I don't have examples to immediately share it's not like there aren't other worldwide hit singles with multiple covers. As to the ordering of them, that's an editorial matter. It is a Dutch band and as such the Dutch cover makes sense if only one can be there, but again that's an editorial question for consensus at the local article and Deletion is the wrong forum for that argument. 98.215.82.138 (talk) 21:55, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

File:Body 10 and Body 13.jpg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Gourami Watcher (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log). 

Fails NFCC criteria 3a (minimal number of items) and criteria 8 (contextual significance). There are two different collages of reconstructions in the article. Both depicted victims are also included in File:Gacy victims.jpg. There is no discussion about these two victims that would warrant a separate image. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 09:03, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, this image should remain. Not least because active efforts are underway to identify the remaining six decedents, and these two (more advanced) reconstructions were only released to the media in 2018. Definitely not a failure of the criteria of NFCC8. The removal of this image "would be detrimental" for that fact.--Kieronoldham (talk) 20:09, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The full text of NFCC criteria 8 is "Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the article topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding." (bolding mine). So while you're correct that leaving the images would likely be in the public good, they are not vital to the understanding of the subject of the article, John Wayne Gacy. The best case scenario would be for the producers of the reconstructions to release the images under a free license, so that they can be more readily disseminated. However, unless that is done, we can't use those images in this article.

One thing to consider is that if you think that there are enough sources to justify an article on the victims of John Wayne Gacy, or on the unidentified victims specifically, then you could create an article on that topic, and this image would likely be justifiable for that article. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 23:15, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm well aware of this, and the boundaries. It is just my opinion, which I am sure, is at least invited here.--Kieronoldham (talk) 23:22, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As much as I'd like this file to stay, I can see why there is some concern that it does not specifically pertain to Gacy himself. Although people here tend to say the "other stuff exists" argument is invalid, I do feel it's worth pointing out that non-free victim images frequently appear in other serial killer's articles. Otherwise, there is potential that a page (or pages) could be written solely about these two victims.--GouramiWatcher^Talk 01:54, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your concern, but there's another reconstruction image right next to the one I nominated for deletion. Justifying non-free content per criteria 3A becomes exponentially harder the more non-free images there are in an article. I just don't see how you can justify two reconstruction images, though I would not be opposed to this one staying and the other one being removed, if the editors that work with that article prefer this one over the other. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 00:32, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Personally, I would rather keep file Body 10 and Body 13.jpg, if users such as Gourami Watcher and MisterCake agree. The reason is, they are more advanced and recent reconstructions than the image of the array released to the media in 1980 (three of whom have since been identified and that array also including earlier reconstructions of these two images).--Kieronoldham (talk) 23:27, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I too would rather keep those. The older picture contains some already identified and is of limited use compared to the more modern reconstructions. One would be hard pressed to tell one from the other of the older reconstructions. Cake (talk) 04:42, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
