[edit] Fair use rationale
This full-length video recording does not comply with all relevant criteria. In particular, the policy states (3b) that "an entire work is not used if a portion will suffice." In addition, the Wikipedia:Music samples guideline says that music samples should be reduced to 10% or 30 seconds, whichever is shorter.
If it is true that the same recording is made available by the producer on their own website and on YouTube, those links can be included in the articles, so the readers won't miss anything. — AdiJapan ☎ 03:38, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
- Hi. I wish to dispute the fact of the media in question being non-fair use. With regard to the policy's 3b where "an entire work is not used if a portion will suffice.", in my opinion, a portion of the whole would not suffice for the content described in the article, What I've Done, as the article heavily describes the whole music video in question, and placing the whole video gives much greater encyclopaedic value than rather using a portion of the music video, especially as the media in question is mostly non-repetitive (e.g. the images portrayed are not repeated many times throughout the video). However, instead of using a portion as described in 3b of the fair-use policy, I have reduced the quality a large amount, which is also described as an alternative, so I think, in my opinion, that the media should quality as fair-use under Wikipedia's Fair Use policy. Furthermore, I do not think that this media qualifies as a "Music Sample" (as it has audio/visual content) and therefore should not be subjected to the whole policy of Music Samples, and that the video content of the media in question represents a higher educational value when shown in full. Please also note that the rest of the Fair Use Rationale has been completed, and clearly states the source, and reason for the full-length video clip. Please delay the deletion of this media until a better decision has been made. Futhermore, I would prefer that the media in question be replaced if it is found to be necessary, rather than deleted.
- Thank you very much, and I hope that you will see my rationale for using this under fair-use. Adammw (talk) 07:23, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

- The audio sample has to be both a small fragment of the original and of lower quality. These two conditions are not alternatives, but have to be fulfilled simultaneously. It's not relevant that the video is not repetitive. Also, I don't think it is relevant that the sound track is accompanied by visual content --- why would the presence of images allow more relaxed conditions for the audio?
- As I said above, readers can view the video outside Wikipedia, so the encyclopedic value is not lost. Just add the right external links.
- The deletion can be avoided if someone uploads a small fragment of the same video. — AdiJapan ☎ 07:55, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
