[edit]- File:Ted Bundy murder kit.JPG (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Vidor (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).
File:FH000036.jpg is a very clear free replacement of this image, and the discussions which ultimately decided to keep this non-free image took place before the aforementioned free file was uploaded.
For completeness, I did initially question whether the free file was just a copyvio, given the lack of metadata, weird file name, and the uploader only uploading exactly one photo. However, the username of the uploader does indeed match up with Kevin M. Sullivan, author of The Bundy Murders: A Comprehensive History. The free photo was indeed not published in the first edition of that book, and I have been unable to locate a publication before the upload at Commons. Therefore, I believe the free licensing on that image is legitimate. Based5290 :3 (talk) 02:22, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Rather odd one, but it seems legitimate. PARAKANYAA (talk) 08:28, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
- File:We got the beat 1980.png (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Hostagecat (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).
This 1980 UK/Portuguese release isn't necessary, IMO, and may have exceeded WP:NFCC#3a. Also, it's not a good substitute or replacement for the 1982 US reissue, which should reflect the song's greater notability. George Ho (talk) 18:50, 31 July 2026 (UTC)
- The song was originally released only in the UK and Portugal before being re-recorded for the wider release. "Take On Me" by a-ha is a song which has a very similar history to "We Got the Beat" in that it had an original single release which failed to chart before being re-recorded and re-released to wide success; its Wikipedia page shows the original 7" release's cover in the main infobox. In other instances where a band or artist changes an cover after release, Wikipedia tends to use the original version first (see Street Survivors, Creatures of the Night, Yesterday and Today).

Those are albums, not singles. Also, please be wary of WP:OTHERIMAGE arguments before making any more of them. Not all song articles use cover arts of original releases, e.g. I Will Remember You (Sarah McLachlan song) and Should I Stay or Should I Go. Of course, I might have exemplified the OTHERIMAGE argument by doing so. George Ho (talk) 02:32, 4 August 2026 (UTC)(see Street Survivors, Creatures of the Night, Yesterday and Today)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
