The lineup in the photo represents the group during a fairly weak period in their career. It is a rather silly and lame posed shot, too.

Silly and lame and posed, perhaps, but then so were most of the 80's. It does represent the longevity of the band and the different visual styles they adopted as well over the course of their career. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.111.93.44 (talk) 01:18, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is that there are so few free images of the band and, frankly, I think it is necessary to show them at as many points in their career as possible, considering both the longevity of the band and their changes in style over the years. The picture in question illustrates how they appeared later on in their career... a picture from 1975 or 2006 can't effectively do that. Furthermore, the idea that we could use a picture of Kenney Jones from 2007 is absurd and not a reflection of his time in the band. In fact a similar image is used for this same purpose on The Rolling Stones page, and I imagine it is a common practice. -- MichiganCharms (talk) 09:05, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, from what I understand, the band does still perform, but not in the original incarnation, and the article describes the band as the photograph presents them, in 1983. I think the mage should thus stay. Jimsteele9999 (talk) 01:40, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Jim, thank you for your thoughts on this topic. I understand that the band was at the height of their popularity with the line-up in 1983- However that line-up is not a seperate entity from the group as it exists today. Regardless of what the ideal picture of the group may be if a free-use image of the group "Flock of Seagulls" described in the article at any point in its existence can plausibly be found the current image's fair-use rationale will not hold up on grounds of replacability and its existence on wikipedia is in violation of copyright law. Solid State Survivor (talk) 02:22, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Your reasoning sounds reasonable to me. I was wondering if that policy pertains to album cover's. For instance, does a re-release that changes the original image void due to replacability?Jimsteele9999 (talk) 02:45, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hi again. To answer your question the whole issue of replacability has to do with the fair-use rationale on copyrighted images. If it is plausible that the copyrighted image depciting a subject could be replaced by a free-use (non-copyrighted) image depicting that same subject then it is not considered fair-use and its presence on wikipedia violates copyright law. In the instance of album artwork - those image are by nature always copyrighted (being the art on a commercial product) and so its really never possible for a free-use image to replace them. In general that makes album art acceptable for fair-use on wikipedia. When a reissue happens with different art both it and the prior are copyrighted so the subject of replacability (being one of copyrighted vs free-use media) does not apply. Solid State Survivor (talk) 08:30, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
In that case I think it best a more appropriate image is found before this one is deleted. I think the article would lose a lot if there weren't any image of the band at all, seeing how they were an 80s band known as much for their image as their music...Jimsteele9999 (talk) 18:33, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately the criterion for replacability in the fair-use rationale is not "is a free-use image readily available?" but rather "could a free-use image be created?". Since we have established that another photo of the group can be created in the future this one must be removed.Solid State Survivor (talk) 04:59, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, a quick search on Google image (following appropriate protocol for a FUI) has yielded at least three more images. As you said initially, it is not only conceivable that an image can be produced, it is reality. Please allow me time to upload. I am not as proficient with this process as you are. I apologize in advance for delay in this. Thanks. Jimsteele9999 (talk) 21:31, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I don't usually deal much with pictures, so if my arguments are off-base, I apologize. That being said, I disagree. They may be off hiatus, but shouldn't we wait until there is actually a better image before we go to delete this one? Especially since, this band in particular, isn't the typical type of band that poses for lots of pictures, and they often play in relatively unlit areas for concerts. I could be wrong, but couple it with the fact that the band is no longer on a major record label, and I don't think there's really going to be that many band pictures popping up. Sergecross73 msg me 12:48, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for contributing to the discussion Serge. Unfortunately the criterion for replacability in the fair-use rationale is not "is a free-use image available?" but rather "could a free-use image be created?". That means that is a free-use picture of the group can plausibly be created the image being used here violates copyright law and must be removed. Seeing as how this band has not broken up it seems plausible to me that a free-use photograph of the group playing at a future concert could easily be created by anyone in attendance. Solid State Survivor (talk) 03:33, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well alright then. I figured there was some type of policy that I didn't understand on it (I don't usually mess around with contributing pictures here.) But I just thought I'd offer my two cents. I guess if the picture is to be saved, it'll have to be on different grounds...Sergecross73 msg me 12:46, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
