Hello, would appreciate some input on the FUR for the above image, currently being used to illustrate the infobox at "Those Old Scientists". I have been reverted when I removed it, citing the poor fair use rationale (the animated characters depicted are not discussed in the production or reception sections, and neither is the scene/gag itself) so would appreciate feedback.

:The rationale on the file page could be a bit stronger, but the fact that the body of the article does talk of this scene, and how its unique for SNW, seems to otherwise get there for NFCC#8. Masem (t) 14:37, 2 May 2025 (UTC)

I'm curious what others think about :File:Album cover of Nephi the Polynesian man.jpg and the way it's being used in :Nephi Hannemann in terms of :WP:NFC#cite_note-3 and item 9 of :WP:NFC#UUI. There are actual photos of Hannemann (like [https://obits.staradvertiser.com/2018/04/22/nephi-hannemann/ this] and [https://www.discogs.com/artist/2294117-Nephi-Hannemann this] that seem better encyclopedically, even if they need to be licensed as non-free. The use of the album cover seems a bit much here, particularly if the main reason for using it as stated in non-free use rationale to benefit Hannemann's estate. UUI#9 doesn't specifically mention album covers, but the same reasoning would seem to be applicable. -- Marchjuly (talk) 09:57, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

:Yes, unless for some reason the album cover is known as the most iconic photo of a deceased person, this is not appropriate use for album covers, barring existence of any other photo of that person. Masem (t) 14:55, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

An ongoing discussion at FFD has made wonder whether it would it might be a good idea to create a new copyright license for events (natural or otherwise) given that {{tlx|Non-free historic image}} seems to be being used in many cases even when the photo itself isn't really "historic" per :WP:ITSHISTORIC. Even though the license {{tlx|Non-free fair use}} already exists and could possibly work, perhaps something a little more specific (i.e., Non-free event) would be better, particularly for photos taken by third-parties that might end up appearing on social media or in media organization reports on the event. -- Marchjuly (talk) 15:24, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
