- No if person is alive, yes if person is dead. Bawolff ☺☻ 23:17, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry, but can you clarify please. Which person needs to be alive? a) Photographer b) Subject of photo (which in this case is a wax figure of a living person, Shah Rukh Khan), or c) Madame Tussauds (which is the copyright owner and a company named after a dead but real person, Marie Tussaud)? --SVTCobra 23:35, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- oh that makes things more complicated. It would be the subject, but I don't know about a wax figure. My instict would say yes[its okay], but I'm not sure. Bawolff ☺☻ 23:42, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- It seems OK to me. Thunderhead ► 23:43, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- I don't think the picture is of the wax figure. However, it would be very hard (cough impossible) to get a free photo that is equivelent in context of photo (him being measurred), so I think it'd be okay. Bawolff ☺☻ 23:45, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- We could of course, contact them. Thunderhead ► 23:47, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, it is of the wax figure here is a whole series (which is where the photo came from) that shows them working on the figure. --SVTCobra 23:49, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- PS I am not the one who uploaded it. I actually suspect it is a violation of the new policies. Not sure if that was clear. I am not sure how to tag images for review (other than this talk page). --SVTCobra 23:53, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- PPS I will submit that these are pictures of "King Khan" being measured for the figure, rather than them working on the wax figure, but I figure the same copyright applies to the image either way. (wow these full size .bmp files take forever to load). --SVTCobra 00:20, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- If it is not used in an article or has no intentions of being used in one, it should be deleted. DragonFire1024 23:56, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- It is used in Bollywood star unveiled at Madame Tussauds and I have also addressed the image in that talk page (almost 11 hours ago). --SVTCobra 23:58, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

I feel like I am being a huge pain in the ass because of the length of this discussion. All I am looking for is: a) is this type of image ok under fair-use (considering the new policies) and b) how should I efficiently address such images (flags or tags) if I encounter problem images in the future. --SVTCobra 00:03, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- I don't know...Personally I think that the policy id destroying Wikinews just like so. I mean if we go through this with every new image, then there won't be any left. But i still don't have a clear answer.... DragonFire1024 00:05, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
