Currently used in Music of Final Fantasy I and II. More about identifying merely two tracks than about identifying the context of the music of two Final Fantasy video games. Deleting the sample wouldn't affect the understanding of the music as a whole. May fail "contextual significance" criterion. George Ho (talk) 08:11, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

No freedom of panorama for 2D graphic works in the United States. Uploader says they own the business, but there is no proof of this. Image is not used anywhere. Ixfd64 (talk) 18:08, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: Textbook WP:NFCC#8 (and WP:NFCC#1) violation. As always, no prejudice to restoration if the article is significantly expanded to explicitly discuss this image in-depth -FASTILY 01:28, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
Image de-PRODded, so I'm listing it here. The freer side label of the US single is uploaded and then used. This listed image is a cover art used for German and Dutch single releases. Furthermore, I'm unsure whether it identifies the song in context, whether it serves a purpose different from as the other (side label) image does, and whether it is irreplaceable. I'll provide more soon. George Ho (talk) 23:59, 23 December 2021 (UTC); edited, 00:44, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
Well, the cover art looks similar to that of Pearl (Janis Joplin album), but that shouldn't be the only reason to delete it. Indeed, identical artworks of American Pie (song) and American Pie (Don McLean album) are used; the one in the song article turns out to be that of the US single release. I'll provide more examples if necessary.
The "contextual significance" criterion (WP:NFCC#8 and WP:NFC#CS) demands this cover art, which I'm listing here, to identify and improve understanding of the song (and its single release(s)) in context, and to be too relevant and significant for deletion. Links prove the artwork to be that of the Dutch single: discogs, 45cat, ebay (1), ebay (2). (German single uses different layout but same artwork.)
Displaying the artist and song title(s) isn't part of the context of critical commentary about the song (and single releases) and shouldn't be the main reason to save the image from deletion. Furthermore, readers would still understand the song, especially as one of Kris Kristofferson's songs covered by multiple artists like Joplin, even without the cover art. Moreover, the US side label, even when not a picture sleeve, may provide the same purpose as the Dutch cover: identifying a single release associated with one of the recordings. The US side label is also free to distribute and use, even when it looks boring and doesn't show the artist (or any elements) and the song title physically.
BTW, I'm unsure why the same uploader has let the cover arts of overseas releases of Aretha Franklin's "I Say a Little Prayer" cover recording and O'Jays' "Love Train" be deleted but then contested my PRODding on the Dutch cover art of Joplin's "Me and Bobby McGee" cover recording. Furthermore, I don't see why this nomination should be (treated as) any different from other two cases. George Ho (talk) 00:44, 24 December 2021 (UTC); edited, 02:37, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
