Use in Italian Americans

I apologize, but apparently I am not enough familiar with the logics behind the non free rationale to understand how to use it, therefore I would really appreciate a brief explanation about the reason why it's not a valid rationale to use it in a paragraph about Italian American stereotyping containing research specifically on the character of Don Vito Corleone. Thank you very much in advance user:FDW777. --91.142.101.229 (talk) 08:46, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

See WP:NFCC point 8. Knowing what Vito Corleone looks like fails that by a country mile, for that article anyway. FDW777 (talk) 09:23, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

Uhm thanks for answering. Basically point 8 in this interpretation is made to prevent from using film pictures in ANY article that are not strictly about that film. For instance, a picture of Mel Gibson in "Braveheart" should be IMMEDIATELY deleted from an article about the portrayal of Scottish nationalism in cinema. More than absurd, it's simply wrong and damaging, but whatever.--91.142.101.229 (talk) 06:36, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

That's not what I said. The text The portrayal of Italian mafia bosses such as Al Capone, or the fictional Don Corleone, have been crucial in shaping Italian American ethnic stereotypes does not require a photograph of Vito Corleoene in order for the reader to understand the sentence, therefore unless there's a free image then a non-free isn't used.
