I uploaded the picture of Treanna on the english wikipedia. It was the picture he had on his user page. A bad image, but the only one we had for him. Certainly an image which will never be reused by anyone. But an image of Treanna.
I've tagged the photo as fair use and delisted it from IfD.
You could at least *try* to explain why the image should be allowed to stay as such even though it's blatantly against policy. Such as trying to invode the "comunity consensus" exception clause in item #9 of the fair use policy.
With the current explanation probided that image will most likely get shot on sight the next time a "copyright patroller" who are not aware of this debate notice the image.
I still say it would be better to just ask his family to re-release the image with a more free license.
