  • File:VinesauceJoel.jpgEndorse. There's some question about which specific WP:CSD was the correct one, but there's clear agreement that the file should have been deleted. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:26, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Well the F9 deletion isn't technically valid because there was a fair use rationale, but it clearly wasn't a valid rationale. The subject is a living person and that alone is usually taken to mean that the image is replaceable (because it is possible to take a picture of him and release it under a free licence). You said on the deleting admin's talk page that "he seldom shows his face", this isn't typically considered sufficient. Also the image was only being used in one page, Draft:Vinesauce, and we don't allow fair use images to be used outside mainspace so it shouldn't have been in the draft. We do also delete fair use images which aren't being used in articles so it would have been deleted for that reason anyway. Hut 8.5 23:01, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • This would be an F4, too, give or take the week-long timeout; the source given (https://vinesauce.fandom.com/wiki/File:FabulousJoel.jpg) is plainly invalid. —Cryptic 02:23, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
