The file File:India Today, Cover Image, May 2023.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-free magazine cover being used in a WP:DECORATIVE manner in Supriyo v. Union of India#Commentary which fails WP:NFCC#8. Non-free magazine covers are generally allowed to be used for primary identification purposes in stand-alone articles about the magazines or the magazine issues they represent, but their use in other articles or in othre ways is generally only allowed when the cover itself is the subject of sourced critical commentary as explained in WP:NFC#cite_note-3 and the context for non-free use. There is no such commentary for this particular cover anywhere in the article, and the only mention of it or the two persons appearing on it is in the caption provided for the image; so, there's no significant loss of encyclopedic value to the reader of the "Commentary" section suffered by not seeing this particular magazine cover.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:56, 17 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Marchjuly, I agree with on the issues you have raised. However, I would appreciate further clarification. The magazine cover is believed to be the first instance of magazine using photograph of a same-sex couple in their cover page in India. I concede that I was unable to find the source to support the claim it is the first instance. I believed this was relevant because the mainstream media discussing queer relationships increased exponential during the case, and this image would be illustrative of queer relationships being part of public discourse in an unprecedented manner. Given this reasoning, due to think the use of magazine cover would be appropriate? If yes, what information or citation should be added to support its use?

Per WP:VNT, all claims (particularly anything that might possibly seen as contentious and inteerpretative) needs to be supported by a citation to reliable sources for it to not otherwise be considered WP:NOR. Any attempt to self-interpret the significance of the cover is unlikely to be seen as acceptable for Wikipedia's purposes, even in the case of only textual content. So, if you can find some reliable sources that discussed the cover and its significance in some detail and add corresponding content to article, then a case for non-free use could possibly be made; otherwise, I think it will be fairly hard to establish a consensus in favor of the cover's use at WP:FFD, You may of course disagree with this assessment and WP:DEPROD the file; however, (once again) without any sourced critical commentary to support any claims about the cover and its significance, I think the file is almost certainly going to end up deleted via FFD. If you'd like some additional opinions before deciding what to do, you can seek them at either WT:NFCC or WP:MCQ. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:38, 17 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
