  • Copyvio suspect. Technically, it has a valid tag and source. I can't find the same image anywhere else. But, it seems unbeleivable to me, that a professional quality studio photo of a commercial performer is being released to the public domain, by a photographer who doesn't want any credit, beyond the login name, that they used for one-day.

  • I did some research into this one. It's clearly a copyvio of this image from Flickr, which is posted as "all rights reserved" but still allows anyone to view a large version of the image. Clearly, this user has stolen it from there. Thus, based on this research, I recommend speedy deletion of this image, and a warning and/or block for the user who uploaded it.

    • Will speedy, let's just wait a bit on the off-chance that this single-purpose fan account actually was the singer herself or somebody connected to her who owns the image. Not very likely of course. Fut.Perf. 21:17, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      I'd say the interests of the copyright holder outweigh the off-chance that this might be the photographer editing Wikipedia. Faking a PD release on an "all rights reserved" photograph is a very serious issue, not just Wikipedia-wise, but legally as well. This image needs to go, and if that off-chance happens, it's a simple matter to reupload it. Per the "all rights reserved" license on Flickr, this is open-and-shut.

  • Purely decorative screenshot of a TV episode, shows just a generic headshot of the protagonist in an indescript scene, not even specific to the episode or recognisably characteristic of it; no commentary on the image in the text, no analysis, no connection even to a recognisable plot element. Character as such is already covered (with other images) elsewhere. Fails NFCC#8+3. Fut.Perf. 20:50, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is a painfully obvious delete. To extend what FP wrote, it's even a poor quality screenshot that, even on a purely aesthetic level, adds nothing to the article. I'm sure that if it is felt that an image of Buffy is needed for this episode summary, a free one can be found. S.D.Jameson 20:54, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sorry for the correction, but "free" images of Buffy probably don't exist, as it's all from a copyrighted fictional universe. (Unless you're a vampire, you could probably take one). But legitimate fair use ones might be a possibility, if the surrounding text was right. Fut.Perf. 20:58, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      When I say "Buffy", I of course mean the actress. A decorative free image of her would probably be relatively easy to sort out, I would think, and would be a far sight better than this low-quality screenshot. S.D.Jameson 21:22, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
