:Welcome figurefour! Your screenshot is of ''CSI'', which is a trademarked show. Wikipedia only uses copyrighted images when its impossible to acquire a free one, in this case its pausible that someone will take a picture of Dourdan and release it ino the public domain (like it happened with [[Jorja Fox]]).

== Dourdan's real name??? ==
 
We have it listed as "Gary Dourdan" but according to MSNBC, it is Robert Gary Dourdan. Unless there is a source saying otherwise, we might want to consider moving this article.

== ''Fire''? ==
 
I noticed that Redbox is now carrying a movie called ''Fire'' starring Dourdan. Anyone have info that could be added to the article? [[User:GoingBatty|GoingBatty]] ([[User talk:GoingBatty|talk]]) 02:45, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

::Without a nation named, it can't be verified. So there is no reason to believe they fact-checked.

== Content and image removal ==
 
Based on a report at [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Edit_warring&oldid=960609151 the edit warring noticeboard] I've reverted the repeated restoration of the mug shot as primary image and the section titled "Legal issues" for the following reasons:
:*The image is a BLP violation. Per [[WP:MUG|policy]] ''"images of living persons should not be used out of context to present a person in a false or disparaging light. This is particularly important for police booking photographs (mugshots), or situations where the subject did not expect to be photographed."''
:*The section titled "Legal issues" was sourced solely to TMZ. The reliability of [[WP:TMZ|TMZ is questionable]], and therefore discussion regarding its use to support disputed content in the article should be discussed prior to the content being restored. If better sources can be found to support the inclusion of the content in a manner that is not [[WP:UNDUE]], then the information can be included.

== Another poor image ==
 
I removed [[:File:Gary Dourdan Berlin (lightened crop more).jpg]] from the article as, while free, it falls below the standard expected of images, especially for a [[WP:BLP|BLP]]. The image is blurry and the subject has their eyes closed and appears to be grimacing. Per [[MOS:LEAD]] point 1: ''"Lead images should be natural and appropriate representations of the topic; they should not only illustrate the topic specifically, but also be the type of image used for similar purposes in high-quality reference works, and therefore what our readers will expect to see."'' This image is not "the type of image used for similar purposes in high-quality reference works". In addition, [[MOS:LEAD]] point 1 states: ''"Lead images are not required, and not having a lead image may be the best solution if there is no easy representation of the topic"''. We don't need to use a substandard image just because there is one available and image use is covered by [[WP:BLP]].-- [[User:Ponyo|<span style="color: Navy;">Jezebel's '''Ponyo'''</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Ponyo|<span style="color: Navy;">''bons mots''</span>]]</sup> 16:40, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
