I have been informed that this picture is being considered replaceable by text/free images. Since there is now a new picture available, it isn't that important, but I feel with Lynne's iconic look he deserves multiple pictures. Beatleswhobeachboys (talk) 21:06, 17 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The dispute isn't that pictures illustrating Lynne shouldn't be used, but that as free alternatives are available we mustn't use non-free photographs. The photograph now used isn't the best quality, but it's one I found quite quickly. Hopefully as Lynne's currently touring we'll have some photographers release their images under a compatible Creative Commons licence. That said, multiple images illustrating the same thing (i.e. Jeff Lynne on stage playing a guitar and wearing sunglasses) isn't particularly helpful. matt (talk) 15:08, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
