**As long as those visual details are not analysed in the article, there's nothing demonstrating that they are significant. Groups of pre-teenage boys usually make funny faces when photographed. So, that's an historically significant detail here? You'll need a better explanation. All the rest (uniforms, "display of patriotism" - I suppose you mean the flag in the background - et cetera) can all obviously be covered by text. "Mere prose can't convey it" is, in 95% of all cases, just a cheap excuse for lazy writing.

  • No evidence of publication date, too hard to judge from her appearance whether this is pre-1923. Calliopejen1 (talk) 06:53, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
True, but could it meet fair use criteria? --Ipoellet (talk) 14:46, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • It appears from this that the image is from a postcard. That Flickr image is "all rights reserved", but that doesn't matter, if the underlying image is PD. I'd say then that we hold off on deleting until we can determine the date on the image. S. Dean Jameson 18:00, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • From this, it appears that the photographer G.L. Manuel (listed in the lower left corner of the Flickr image linked above) was active from ~1920-1935. So there's perhaps more of a chance that this isn't PD than that it is. S. Dean Jameson 18:06, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm still looking into this. Further investigation reveals that the photographer was chiefly active from 1911-1931(5?), per this from the Harvard University library. S. Dean Jameson 18:22, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've looked into this all I can, and I have to conclude this is slightly more likely to be in the public domain than not to be, based upon the photographs from this Stanford University page, and the auxillary pages that go with it. If I had to guess, I'd say it's from the late-10s ore early 20s), as this was the height of her fame as a silent talk star, and when she would have been most likely to be featured on postcards such as the one from which this image originated. Thus, I say we tentatively keep this image, unless it's definitively found that it was taken after 1923. S. Dean Jameson 18:37, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • I also base this opinion on the fact that the postcards released while she was with UA have a small "United Artists" imprint in the lower right corner. This one does not. She went to UA sometime after 1924, so that also lends further credence to my deduction that it was probably late teens early 20s. S. Dean Jameson 18:48, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It is highly likely this publicity shot of Norma Talmadge was taken (and published) when she was in her twenties, i.e., before 1923. Manuel would have taken this prior to her move to Hollywood in 1922.JGHowes talk - 19:21, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    The point about the move to Hollywood is a good one, and something that hadn't occurred to me. It definitely adds more weight to my research. S. Dean Jameson 19:29, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Unused, unencyclopedic. —Bkell (talk) 16:30, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Do you think that perhaps this should be speedy kept/withdrawn? I've reworked the article, and added this image to it. S. Dean Jameson 13:04, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks for clarifying this, but do we have enough information about the copyright status? Is it plausible to assume that the uploader is the copyright holder? If, as you say in the article, the photo was taken "during an interview", the copyright holder would most likely be the media publisher for which the interview was made, wouldn't it? Fut.Perf. 17:09, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • I deduced that from the tape recorder sitting there, which probably violates WP:OR. As for the provenance of the photograph, I think that based upon the quality of it, it looks like it is likely a good-faith upload. It seems to be the type of picture one might snap at a cattle call interview session when you realize, "What the hell?!? That's HANNAH TAN!" What's your take on it? S. Dean Jameson 17:17, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • A generic group photograph of a children's band does not count as a "unique historic image" (that tag is only for images like Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima). The specific event in question here (a children's group posing for a photoshot) is trivial and obviously not a subject of encyclopedic discussion; the photograph as such isn't either (of course); nothing in the article requires this image to be understood. Fails NFCC#8. Fut.Perf. 21:08, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • 'Keep This is a unique and rare photo of Japanese-American Scouts in the internment camps during WWII--such as Manzanar and Granada War Relocation Center. It depicts their life inside the camps and loyalty to America. It is in an article on the camp this photo was taken in. It does not fail NFCC#8 as it is a unique, rare, and significant representation of the personal and cultural life of the detainees. RlevseTalk 22:27, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Also, as this was taken in WWII and in the USA images from 1923 through 1977, published without a copyright notice are in the public domain, it may be PD. I've contacted the state of Colorado about this. RlevseTalk 22:47, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. NFCC#8 is very nebulous, and a terrible reason for trying to delete such an interesting and historic image. I'm not sure how to interpret "its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding", but I know we shouldn't be trying to delete images based solely on one editor's interpretation of that rationale. S. Dean Jameson 22:54, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • With only the information currently available, this image fails our requirement that the copyright holder be attributed - we have no idea where this image came from. I suggest deferring a decision until Rlevse hears back from Colorado on an actual source for the image. --B (talk) 02:52, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • According to [1], "these photographs were kindly donated to the Colorado State Archives by the Denver Central Optimists Club". That means they were probably in the private possession of that club and not published at the time of their creation. PD would be unlikely in that case. Fut.Perf. 07:41, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep per above reasons, and to stick it to the deletionists on general principle. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 07:07, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • "and to stick it to the deletionists on general principle" is not something I can find in our non-free content policy. --B (talk) 12:06, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Image of a children's theatre performance in 1943, claimed as "unique historic photograph". The event depicted is non-notable and not the object of encyclopedic discussion in the article; neither is the photograph as such. The article for which it is claimed (Girl Scouts of the USA) doesn't mention either the event nor the photograph; nothing in the article requires the image to be understood. Purely decorative, fails NFCC#8. Fut.Perf. 21:20, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • 'Keep This is a unique and rare photo of Japanese-American Scouts in the internment camps during WWII--such as Manzanar and Granada War Relocation Center.

      • According to the archival record, the image is "loaned" to the archive by the private individual who took it in 1943. That means it was most likely not published at the time of its creation, so PD probably doesn't apply. The image belongs to that lady; it becomes fair use if and when the creative work of that lady, as such, is the subject of encyclopedic analysis in our article. Which, of course, it is not. Fut.Perf. 07:48, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, per my rationale above, and Rlevse's points about the photograph's significance. S. Dean Jameson 22:57, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This might be encyclopedic for an article like Girl Scouting in the United States during World War II, but there are any number of free images that could illustrate the actual article in which it appears. Also, we don't need to see a photo of these girls to know that they existed. What do people gain from seeing this picture specifically? They look just how I imagined they might.

  • Keep per Rlevse as unique, non-reproducible historic image depicting life inside Japanese-American internment camps during WWII, thereby having encyclopedic value in and of itself. JGHowes talk - 20:17, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
