Benny Leonard
Hey, was just curious why the previous infobox photo of Leonard failed NFCC? GOAT Bones231012 (talk) 17:18, 19 September 2025 (UTC)
- Never mind I see why now. What do you think of this photo of Leonard instead though? (Portrait du boxeur américain) Benny Leonard (Pacific) - btv1b53176192q.jpg GOAT Bones231012 (talk) 17:47, 19 September 2025 (UTC)
- If you like it go ahead, I think it is not too..flattering.. Interestingly Bibliothèque nationale de France sources it to Agence Rol and dated 1927. but I found several copies of this photo stamped with New York, 1923.. [1], [2] REAL 💬 ⬆ 19:40, 19 September 2025 (UTC)
- Let’s just keep yours then. It would also save us the potential mistake of dating it wrong. GOAT Bones231012 (talk) 19:46, 19 September 2025 (UTC)

What is the rule you follow, please.
Greetings, 999real. You seem to be on a mission to delete fair use images. I got three notices of deletion before I could even ask you about them. Several questions. Your rationale is the image is from a commercial source (Associated Press or Getty Images) that is not discussed in the article. Where did you get this rule? What's so different about these sources compared to a fair use image obtained from any other commercial source? Where else would a fair use image come from if not a commercial source? Why are you citing this rule now, after many years? -SusanLesch (talk) 03:55, 28 December 2025 (UTC)

- Don't tag stuff on the basis of "was from Alamy". Alamy rehosts public domain content (and then watermarks it and claims to sell access). DS (talk) 20:14, 5 January 2026 (UTC)
- I know that I fix the license if I found some reason for it to be public domain photos from PA or other sources outside US after 1931 usually are not PD REAL 💬 ⬆ 20:22, 5 January 2026 (UTC)
