I understand your desire for consistency, but how does preferring non-free cover art over PD advertisements and labels of music releases comply withWP:NFCC#1?
Delete – The German cover art's "irreplaceability" isn't my concern but rather itscontextual significance to the song recorded by the Mamas and the Papas, an American band. Well, the American single release (45cat) didn't use a picture sleeve when initially released. However, I'm unconvinced that deleting this German cover art would affect how the song is understood when reading the article.George Ho (talk)23:55, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – If it weren't obvious, given the arguments I make below for the Elton John "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" sleeve.Template:Non-free album cover applies to single picture sleeves as clearly as it does album covers. This is an established practice for picture sleeves, album covers, posters, book covers, and so on. Arguing against that consensus is beyond the scope of this individual image discussion.Tkbrett (✉)03:35, 2 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Arguing against that consensus is beyond the scope of this individual image discussion. We can't be certain for sure. Other FFD discussions have resulted in deletion, sometimes. Even other deletion templates were unchallenged.George Ho (talk)21:42, 2 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus among a limited group of editors (eg. a back-and-forth of two users with a couple others chiming in), at one place and time (eg. within 21 hours), cannot override community consensus on a wider scale. For instance, unless they can convince the broader community that such action is right, participants in a WikiProject (eg. WikiProject Songs)cannot decide that some generally accepted policy or guideline (eg. the non-free content criteria)does not apply to articles within its scope.

Template:Non-free album cover is already understood to apply to album covers, but you have done nothing to show that single cover art is any different. The template's page even specifies that "this template should be used for covers from all types of audio recording releases, not just albums, despite the name of the template." This is because single cover art, or even EP cover art, is no different from an album cover as far as this discussion is concerned. In that discussion, JG66 makes a convincing rebuttal to what you are doing here.Tkbrett (✉)11:37, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete I wouldn't say I agree fully with John... or Tkbrett here. Well, the cover art itself might be irreplaceable by a free image of the singer who rendered this Beatles song, but my main concern is itscontextual significance to one of the Beatles' songs. To one, words may not suffice alone. However, the readers would already know that the song is one of the Beatles' songs ever made and that others have covered it numerous times. How the cover art is perceived to improve such understanding to the point where omitting this cover art would impact such understanding is beyond me.George Ho (talk)23:15, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete It is the exact same image with slightly different text so you can edit it and use the high quality version
