Fair-use image

[edit]

The album cover for the Met Opera Laserdisc video recording of The Ring of the Nibelungen has been removed from this article by two different editors. WP:NFCI and Wikipedia:Non-free content have been linked to explain these edits. Even after reading these linked pages, it is not clear to me why this image violates the fair-use policy. The video recording is a document of one of the singer's most import roles, which is stated in the lead, along with critical commentary on the recording itself. The image is only used in this one article. So why exactly does this situation not meet the requirements for fair use? --Robert.Allen (talk) 20:38, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I see now that the footnote for Rule No. 1 excludes usage in articles not about the album, except in cases where the critical commentary is about the image itself. Personally I think we should delete this footnote, but I'm sure that would be very controversial. --Robert.Allen (talk) 19:59, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
