This non-free image is being used in two articles with the same rationale that it is for primary visual identification. It is indeed being used for that purpose for Kuantan, and I recommend we keep that usage. However, its use in List of cities in Malaysia is entirely decorative and is certainly not identifying the topic of the article which is the list and recommend to remove the usage in the list as it fails WP:NFCC#8.

Stated rationale says it’s used to illustrate subject of biographical article, when in fact the article is about an event and not a person. ꧁ Zanahary꧂ 05:32, 8 July 2024 (UTC) reply

Keep. The event sort of doubles as a biography, involving the victim's life and how it ended, etc. An image is as necessary to understand the event as it is for any biography of a person. Nearly all GA and FA class articles of this type use this same rationale - while OTHERSTUFFEXISTS doesn't mean anything, FA articles using it generally is a sign it is accepted practice. See Murder of Joanna Yeates, Murder of Dwayne Jones, Disappearance of Natalee Holloway, all FA class event based articles with fair use victim images.

In fact, I can't find a single FA class article of this type that doesn't have an image of the victim. This is standard practice. To remove images would effect hundreds of pages on every single article of this type and requires much wider discussion. PARAKANYAA ( talk) 04:47, 9 July 2024 (UTC) reply

Where should that discussion take place? ꧁ Zanahary꧂ 00:44, 13 July 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Zanahary WP:Village pump (policy) probably. Considering this is established consensus I don't see any particular reason to change it, but oh well. PARAKANYAA ( talk) 03:45, 13 July 2024 (UTC) reply

• Keep since the file is used in the article about the person that was murdered to illustrate the person thereby passing WP:NFCC. Aspects ( talk) 01:05, 10 July 2024 (UTC) reply

  This article is not about the person that was murdered—it's about the murder. ꧁ Zanahary꧂ 00:44, 13 July 2024 (UTC) reply

  A notable murder case almost always involves why a person was murdered and their background. It is necessary for the same reasons to identify the murder victim as a biography article, as they are the key focus of the event, therefore fulfilling the same reasons a dead person's biography allows a non free image of them - for identification. Your interpretation is overly literal. PARAKANYAA ( talk) 03:47, 13 July 2024 (UTC) reply

Keep, per others, and per WP:NFCC. jp× g 🗯️ 06:02, 14 July 2024 (UTC) reply
