In 2006, this photo was uploaded under the claim that the photographer died 100 years ago. That means that if the license tag is correct, the photographer must have died in 1906 or earlier. The photo's subject was born in 1893.^[1] That means that if the photographer took the photo in 1906 or earlier, Booker must be 13 years old or younger in the photo. That does not appear to be the case.

Since we cannot know for sure the date of this image's publication, the date of the author's death, or the original source of publication, we cannot know the copyright status, and the image should be deleted. I have uploaded a verifiably free alternative, Joseph Robert Booker.png, for use if this image is deleted. ⟲ Three Sixty! ^Talk? _Work. 02:59, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: As the copyright status of image is dubious and cannot likely be confirmed with enough certainty to satisfy the requirements for use on Wikipedia, and because thanks to @Three Sixty we now have an alternative that does, I concur that this image should be deleted. -- Fhsig13 (talk) 03:45, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:RWBY Cover.jpg

Replaceable with c:File:RWBY logo.svg, c:File:Team RWBY Volume 9.png and many other screenshots in c:Category:RWBY per WP:NFCC#1. JohnCWiesenthal (talk) 04:08, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree with this nomination and fully oppose it. The replacement images you chose are not "better" as one is just a screenshot and the logo doesn't help readers as the title is the same (and it will lead to reader confusion). It has every right to remain as the image in the infobox, considering the four characters pictured ARE the protagonists. This nomination should be withdrawn immediately. Historyday01 (talk) 18:43, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Per @Historyday01, the "replacement" images suggested by the nominator are essentially derivatives of the image in question, which do not serve to adequately identify the show. As such, the original image does not fail WP:NFCC#1, as the other images would not serve the same encyclopedic purpose, if used in its' place. -- Fhsig13 (talk) 22:43, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly. You articulated it much better than I did, and I'm not sure why the image was nominated for deletion in the first place. Historyday01 (talk) 01:07, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As a rationale to support the deletion of this image has yet to be provided, obviously aside from the erroneous one provided by the nominator, I am recommending a Speedy Keep, per WP:CSK points 1 & 3. -- Fhsig13 (talk) 21:45, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I support Speedy Keep as well. The reason supplied by the nominator is clearly erroneous. Historyday01 (talk) 17:42, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

This image does not have specific and specific commentary about it in the article, so fails WP:NFCC#8. Whilst media reactions have lots of content in the article, the existence of this image there doesn't significantly enhance a reader's understanding of the topic.
