File:JC Pressac - Auschwitz- Technique and operation of the gas chambers (1989).jpg

File was prodded for deletion by me as WP:DECORATIVE non-free cover art because I think its use in Jean-Claude Pressac fails WP:NFC#cite_note-3 and WP:NFCC#8 by me here, but it was deprodded by Liz here stating: The article where this image is used is not a biography despite the page title, it's all about this book. The file seems illustrative, not decoration. The page should be retitled to focus on the book. I tried to follow up on that at User talk:Liz#File:JC Pressac - Auschwitz- Technique and operation of the gas chambers (1989).jpg, but didn't receive a response. That's fine, but I still think this file's non-free use needs assessing because there are multiple NFCC issues associated with it.

I'm not so sure the main focus of the Pressac article is about the book as the deprod statement claimed; that, however, isn't really a discussion for FFD per se. If someone wants to move the article to "Auschwitz: Technique and operation of the gas chambers" and try to justify the file's use in that article, then that's up to them. Doing so, however, doesn't resolve all the NFCC issues with the file's non-free use, at least not in my opinion.

This file actually appears to be a user-generated collage of multiple non-free images related to the book: the book's cover front and back, and some of the book's inner pages. This is a problem because even in an articles about books, generally on the front cover is allowed to be used for primary identification purposes. In this case, the same non-free use rationale and copyright license is being used to try and justify not only the cover but also the interior pages, and this seems to be wrong not only because of WP:NFCC#8 but also WP:NFCC#3 and WP:NFCC#10c. If anything, the interior pages should've been uploaded as a separate file with a separate, specific non-free use rationale their use. The file does have two non-free use rationales for its use in the Pressac article and perhaps this was an attempt by the uploader to justify both parts of the file; however, one of the non-free use rationales appears just to be boilerplate text, and the other states For visual identification of one of the achievements of the person in question, at the top of his/her biographical article, which is pretty much never considered a valid justification for using book cover art in articles about book authors per WP:NFC#cite_note-3.

I personally don't see how this file's non-free use satisfies WP:NFCC given the way it's currently be used. Perhaps the cover itself could be kept if used in an stand-alone article about the book, one that's either newly created or by moving the Pressace article. Even in that case, though, i don't think inner page part of the file can be justified per WP:NFCC and they should either be cropped out and the file's non-free use rationale updated with a new source for the cover image. If the letter from 1943 shown on one of the inner pages is no longer eligible for copyright protection per c:COM:Germany or some other reason, then perhaps it should be reuploaded to Commons as a separate file. The other inner page written by Pressac, however, fails WP:FREER and MOS:TEXTASIMAGES since it seems easily replaceable by either a quote from the book supported by a citation or simply by summarizing the page supported by a citation. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:49, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Subject is still living, so the image (evidently a mug shot) fails criteria (1) of WP:NFC#UUI. Muzilon (talk) 10:56, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
