only have fair use images to use.
WP:NOR supports the "only accept canon depictions".
We've had this discussion in the artistic depiction thread. Making an
artistic depiction based on multiple images or real life is no
different from writing a text description based on multiple sources.
By your rationale, all Wikipedia could do would be to stitch together
quotes from outside sources and claim fair use.
