This file has a non-free use rationale that is disputed because of the following concern: Non-free image being used for identification in a section. Image is not the subject of significant sourced critical commentary. Fails WP:NFCC#8..

Unless this concern is addressed by correcting any shortcomings in the non-free use rationale (templates such as Template:Non-free use rationale can assist in this), the file will be deleted or removed from some uses after Friday, 27 December 2024. Please remove this template if you have successfully addressed the concern.

Note that if you disagree with the shortcomings of the non-free use rationale as described above, please discuss the matter on the talk page, but do not remove this notice from files you have uploaded.

Administrators: Check the image talk page for comments before deleting this file.

It is disputed whether this file violates our non-free content criteria. The reason given is: Nominator asserts that NFC used for identification in a section needs to be the subject significant sourced critical commentary of the image. But that is not a requirement set out in the WP:NFCC, nor WP:NFCI #1, nor indeed anywhere on the WP:NFC page.

Examples where such cover images are used where there is not sourced critical commentary of the image are widespread across Wikipedia, including eg the cover image of the Target novelisation of pretty much every classic Doctor Who serial -- suggesting that what the nominator suggests is not the established rule.

I am therefore restoring the image to the article, as satisfying WP:NFCI #1, and have opened a thread at Talk:The Computer Programme as to why inclusion of the image should be considered to add something significant to reader's understanding of the topic of the article. Closing administrator: if the decision is to Keep the file please put {{Old replaceable non-free use}} on the file description page. If the decision is to Delete please archive the discussion on the talk page between {{subst:Archive top}} and {{subst:Archive bottom}} and delete the file page.
