Rfc on Infobox Image

The following discussion is an archived record of a request for comment. Please do not modify it. No further edits should be made to this discussion. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

WP:NFCCP#1 applies and is not open to discussion: an RfC is completely inappropriate.

This Rfc is being opened to determine which image should be used in the infobox. The images up for review are as follows:

Image A is a non-free image whose use on Wikipedia is governed by fair use. Conversely, Image B is a copyright-free image with no conditions on its usage. Emiya1980 (talk) 19:10, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed the images to links per WP:NFCCP#9. I shall terminate this RfC shortly. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:20, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Emiya1980: You don't need a full-blown thirty-day formal WP:RFC for this. WP:NFCCP#1 is clear: non-free content is used only where no free equivalent is available that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose. You have shown that there is a free equivalent, so the current image cannot stay. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:28, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A as per my edit summary. GreatLeader1945 ^TALK 14:36, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Redrose64: GreatLeader1945 just reverted your edit. See what I'm dealing with here? Emiya1980 (talk) 18:33, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Withdraw Agree with Redrose64. Nemov (talk) 23:34, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
B since it's a free image, and an actual photograph of him and not a drawing. Some1 (talk) 00:13, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note that File:Cernenko (upscale).jpg is not "an actual photograph" of Chernenko, it's an AI upscaled version of a much grainier image at File:Černěnko.jpg, where the AI has made a guess at what his eyes, nose and mouth might have looked like at a higher resolution. Per MOS:IMAGES I've replaced the image with the original historical photograph. --Belbury (talk) 11:53, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
