Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria/Amendment 2

This is a failed proposal.

Consensus for its implementation was not established within a reasonable period of time. If you want to revive discussion, please use the talk page or initiate a thread at the village pump.

This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference.
Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump.

I propose an amendment to point 8 of WP:FUC, which currently reads:

"The material must contribute significantly to the article (e.g. identify the subject of an article, or specifically illustrate relevant points or sections within the text) and must not serve a purely decorative purpose."

that it should be clarified by appending:

"Specifically, content must be essential information that can't be conveyed with text, and itself subject of significant discussion. Any other use is considered decorative."
