: '''Delete.''' While a fair use justification might be possible for it because it is a comparison between two images and is therefore analytical commentary, it's still unnecessary on the article where it's placed. We do not have similar comparisons between the other weapons, and they aren't really necessary because such differences can be described in text.

Categorization

It is not a screen shot; that's why that template was created in the first place IIRC.  Many images of this type have already been deleted as possible copyright violations e.g. [1] [2] [3], so it is important that they don't get lost among the legit screen shots.    Ryan W 16:48, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

VfD

I'm requesting a VfD for this image because 1) it's a ripped sprite, which raises a copyright concern, and 2) I think it's not really necessary at all in any article. --Kyano (talk) 21:42, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Delete.  I agree; it's hard to imagine a situation where separate, ordinary screen shots (or no image) would be so unworkable that this was needed.    Ryan W (talk) 23:09, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
