File:Birmingham campaign water hoses.jpg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Carcharoth (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log). 

Note: I am only disputing this image's use in Birmingham campaign.

This photo is only discussed in the caption rather than the body of the article. c:Category:Birmingham campaign shows several high quality PD images of the Birmingham campaign, including an image also showing a group of protesters being hosed at close range. I think a much stronger reason (for example, an entire paragraph dedicated to the fair use image which is DUE and secondarily sourced in the body) is needed to continue using the nominated image on the article for the Birmingham campaign.

File:Secondary structural probability map of the flavodoxin protein.png (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Ericasherman39 (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log). 

Unsure whether this image is PD or freely licensed or not and/or whether any free alternatives exist. thejiujiangdragon talk/contribs 00:29, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

• Remain as non-free. The journal article says Copyright © 1993 The Protein Society, and the figure/diagram has been part of it. Also, the diagram looks complicated and might be original enough for copyright protection under the US law, even if the idea of the diagram may be "unoriginal". --George Ho (talk) 05:05, 7 May 2026 (UTC)
• Delete I cannot see why a free image would not be a suitable replacement. Traumnovelle (talk) 03:53, 27 May 2026 (UTC)

File:Dark Money.jpg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by JGabbard (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log). 

The file is a political advertisement and comic against dark money. The uploader claims that [b]ecause "dark money" is an abstract concept, it is difficult to illustrate. Yet the file is equally abstract, only depicting "dark money is harmful to political integrity", and serves little purpose on improving the readers' understanding on "what is dark money and how does it work". A flow chart that depicts how corrupt politicians could benefit from dark money, for example, would provide clearer illustration on the subject, and would also be free content. The file therefore violates WP:NFCC#1 and WP:NFCC#8, and should be deleted. 廣九直通車 (talk) 08:47, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

File:Viliami Moala.webp (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by WikiOriginal-9 (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log). 

This image fails the free-use criteria in that is replaceable and has been replaced by this public domain photo. Dennis C. Abrams (talk) 17:20, 29 April 2026 (UTC)
