It's a matter of accuracy, not of why his look was crucial. We want articles to accurately represent people as they looked like when in power. JRG (talk) 12:40, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
"We" who? --Damiens.rf 12:54, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Users who understand the issues and who want to improve Wikipedia instead of deleting images all the time simply to annoy others and make a point that is not valid. JRG (talk) 02:17, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, living individual, still active in public, image replaceable. Accurate coverage of his political life doesn't depend on what he looked like at the time. Failing that, at a minimum, remove from the election article, where it's clearly non-essential. Fut.Perf. 07:47, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
While it doesn't depend on it, it is more accurate for the article if we include a contemporaneous picture of Hayden. He is known for being Opposition Leader in the 1980s not in 2008. We should be supporting and improving on the accuracy of the encyclopedia, not wrecking articles by deleting images for spurious reasons. JRG (talk) 02:18, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops, I meant fair use not free use. --Bduke (talk) 04:39, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well, you were mistaken, they are not generally allowed and common, it's as simple as that. You can't validly vote keep without an individual very good reason for an exception. Fut.Perf. 08:07, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Is it clear how recent this photo actually is? --Bduke (talk) 04:39, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, as per BQZip01 (in this case), and the general principle that politicians aren't notable because of their transient physical appearance at any particular age. Encyclopedic accuracy of our coverage of his political career doesn't depend on what he looked like. Fut.Perf. 07:50, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
