  • Speedy Delete - already deleted this image under different filenames from another user 3 times now if not mistaken, unremarkable unnotable non-free screencap, not discussed in particular in article and nothin that cant be described without words, just the artists pretty much, nothing notable. 74.204.40.46 (talk) 06:46, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Fails NFCC8. Non-free rationale does not suffice for the inclusion of image in the article. meco (talk) 09:09, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This is a historically significant cover that is non-replaceable and is appropriate in several articles about the history of leveraged buyouts and private equity |► ϋrbanяenewaℓTALK ◄| 04:29, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. A non-free magazine covers can be used only to illustrate the publication of the issues of the magazine in question. It might be an acceptable non-free use for that. But is is being used here to illustrate the subject of the cover story. —teb728 t c 09:06, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment This was originally more than two years ago. As per WP:Non-free_content#Images a magazine cover is not acceptable to illustrate the article on the person whose photograph is on the cover. However, if the cover itself is the subject of sourced discussion in the article, and if the cover does not have its own article, it may be appropriate. This is the case in the history of private equity articles and as such is appropriate. |► ϋrbanяenewaℓTALK ◄| 16:14, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I agree with Urbanrenewal. From all that I can tell, it is acceptable under WP:Non-free_content#Images. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JakeH07 (talkcontribs) 23:56, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - It illustrates that the subject of the article was on the cover of Time, in part to show today's reader what a "big deal" Pickens' takeovers were back in the mid-1980s. Racepacket (talk) 03:15, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete - Doesnt signifcantly increase understanding of the topic WP:NFCC#8 143.117.161.54 (talk) 06:46, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It is a rare and very idiomatic picture, showing the essense of corporate raiding and special situation investments. Lamro (talk) 06:48, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The image is undiscussed in the article text and does not significantly increase understanding of the subject (NFCC 8). The image could be replaced with the text Time magazine featured him on the cover playing poker under the heading "The Takeover Game" (NFCC 1) CIreland (talk) 18:55, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment (Keep). Having reviewed the comments here (as well as the comments relating to Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion/2008 September 9#Image:MilkenPredatorsFall.jpg]] which is very similar to this discussion), I really would like either meco or teb728, who seem to have exactly the same opinion on this and the other discussions to justify the existence of any of the Category:Fair use TIME magazine covers. The fair use rationale for this picture in several articles relating to private equity history is far more compelling than the use of the other covers in that category. My only question is if this cover is not acceptable, why wouldn't the policy simply state no magazine covers, ever, period because I find it hard to think of a situation that will satisfy these two users. |► ϋrbanяenewaℓTALK ◄| 18:23, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Image seems purely decorative. It is used to illustrate a section on the awards the film received, which doesn't mention anything about the image. All the image really shows is that there is an apparently cross-dressing boy and mice. There is already a poster in the infobox, and the article doesn't really discuss anything that warrants another non-free image. J Milburn (talk) 09:35, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Per WP:NFCC#5; image does not add any substantial content to the article and is entirely decorative. seicer | talk | contribs 13:17, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Ya, agreed. Also seems to fail WP:NFCC#8, as it does not enhance the understanding of the subject (a movie about people that turn yellow). A perhaps irrelevant aside: the image is in black and white, so one is unable to discern if the boy is yellow. Lazulilasher (talk) 01:47, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This image is not accurately described as "decorative", since a decorative image is one which is used only for aesthetic purposes, and does not relate to, nor add information to the article. In this case, the image illustrates the article about the film "The Boy Who Turned Yellow", which is a film which had a limited release, and which very few people have seen. The image is of the central characacter in the film, and is a screenshot which shows the character in costumes, and in situ. This, of course, conveys a great deal of information about the film, especially since it is such an obscure one.

    The placement of the image next to the awards section is irrelevant, incidentally, since images do not illustrate sections of articles they illustrate the article as a whole, and anyone who has dealt with any kind of layout for publication knows that there are many instances where physical restrictions or visual balance force an image to go somewhere other that right next to the text it relates to. Books, for instance, have their photos in centralised areas because of production problems, and magazines will frequently show a photo on another page from where the text appears, because of space limitations, advertising, etc. Here, the photo is occupying the first available space on the right beloew the infobox, a good place for an image to go in a short article. But the image relates to the entire article, and the idea that a screenshot of a central character of a movie is not an appropriate illustrative use of an image is strange, to say the lease.

    Incidentally, the article does not have a multitude of images. Aside from the image nominated, there is only the film poster in the infobox, and nothing else. This image conveys a sense of film, and helps to close the gap between film, a visual medium, and text. Ed Fitzgerald t / c 02:39, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Non-free image of an actor in role used to decorate a cast-list section. There is no commentary, image is purely decorative and the article already features other images. If an image is desired for the cast list, a free image of one of the actors would suffice. J Milburn (talk) 09:43, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Per WP:NFCC#5; image does not add any substantial content to the article and is entirely decorative. seicer | talk | contribs 13:18, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Image and caption have been improved to integrate into article.-Cbradshaw (talk) 02:09, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The image is not in any respect "decorative", since a decorative image is one which is used only for its aesthetic value and is not related to the article nor does not in any respect add to the article. In this case, a picture of a cast member -- in fact, one of the three stars of the movie -- provides a great deal of information. Not all pictures of actors are interchangeable, and a picture of the actor in costume and in situ in the film, provides the reader with a visceral sense of what the film looks like and how the director has approached the subject. In this case, the photo illustrates welll the fact that Powell and Pressburger did not deal with the Germans as fiends or monsters, but as human beings who were on the other side of the war. This is dealt with in the text of the article.

    The placement of the image is irrelevant, incidentally, since images do not illustrate sections of articles they illustrate the article as a whole, and anyone who has dealt with any kind of layout for publication knows that there are many instances where physical restrictions or visual balance force an image to go somewhere other that right next to the text it relates to. Books, for instance, have their photos in centralised areas because of production problems, and magazines will frequently show a photo on another page from where the text appears, because of space limitations, advertising, etc. Here, the photo is occupying some space that would otherwise be whitespace, a good place for an image to go. But the image relates to the entire article, and the idea that a screenshot of a star of a movie is not an appropriate illustrative use of an image is strange, to say the lease.

    the impression is also given that the article has a multitude of images, but this is not the case. Aside from the image nominated, there is only the film poster in the infobox, and one other screenshot showing the other stars of the film. Ed Fitzgerald t / c 02:31, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • There are already two other non-free promotional images in the article, and the DVD is not mentioned at all apart from in the caption of this image. J Milburn (talk) 09:50, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedily deleted under csd-g7. It was previously used in the infobox, and two better images have been added since. Tacking the image at the end of the article adds no value to it. Since I originally uploaded it, there isn't much sense in prolonging this discussion. - Bobet 10:37, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
