Dieter Shirley moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Dieter Shirley. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. GSS ^💬 14:10, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

I was bored and

did you a solid; I cleaned up the references in the ERC article.

The cleanup should make readers less likely to get the impression that your references are deliberately, obfuscatorily padded. It also makes it easier for you to keep track of what’s already being cited and what’s still missing in terms of establishing notability. It would become even easier if you lost the content improperly duplicated over from the main article, which isn’t going to get to stay in any case.

I believe the article now has a decent chance of surviving if you go ahead and make it a little bit tighter and more focused. In particular, you should probably lose in-text attributions like Arcenegui et al points out and so on. Firstly, in-text attributions of this sort are discouraged by WP:CS. Secondly, cargo-cult academia will only serve to make the article look insecure in an AfD discussion. Make the article show confidence by owning the fact that it’s ultimately just pretty basic computer programming; don’t make it larp as particle physics or something.

Replaceable non-free use File:William Entriken speaking with a microphone at NFT.NYC conference.png

Thanks for uploading File:William Entriken speaking with a microphone at NFT.NYC conference.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file's talk page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. TheGreatestLuvofAll (talk) 13:26, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Okay, understood. Done Codeconjurer777 (talk) 20:52, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Ok. I already know about this statement "For some retired or disbanded groups, or retired individuals whose notability rests in large part on their earlier visual appearance, a new picture may not serve the same purpose as an image taken during their career, in which case the use would be acceptable.", which I have read before. However, if it is a single person who is living, it may be replaceable, because Wikipedia’s policy on non-free content does not require images of a single person who is living, shown at WP:NFC#UUI, and is under unacceptable fair use. That is why I nominated the file for deletion. Thank you. TheGreatestLuvofAll (talk) 22:17, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for the reply. You haven't actually addressed the spirit of the exemption I am citing and applying here, only that you read it and are familiar with it. The exemption indicates a spirited use case for images of 'living persons' that serve an irreplaceable function and encyclopedic purpose; I have attempted to explain such an applicability of this exemption whereby the image chosen may be acceptable as fair use despite the general rules you cite of being unacceptable under fair use (hence the purpose of an exemption to rules). Codeconjurer777 (talk) 22:27, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

I only used that statement from your reason why you don’t think the image is replaceable. The subject is living and may be retired, in what you said. I know it's main purpose is for visual identification of the subject. There can be a free alternative image of the person if you performed a research that there is free images of the subject, a free one can still be created, or may still be covered by text alone adequately. For example, if you go to Special:Upload, and for licensing, if it is a living person, if you choose "Fair use image of a living person", the template Di-replaceable non-free use will show up and it will be up for deletion. TheGreatestLuvofAll (talk) 22:49, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

you still haven't addressed why this specific image is not irreplaceable given it's specific historical significance in subject's career. That is my point, that it is not replaceable by a newer image based on its distinct significance to the subject's career and notability. Codeconjurer777 (talk) 22:59, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

I am confused by what you mean by career and notability. My point is that it is not irreplaceable because it illustrates a living subject, that’s what I meant when I put the tag on the image. Please see the reason why on the image and see my reasoning. TheGreatestLuvofAll (talk) 23:27, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:William Entriken speaking with a microphone at NFT.NYC conference.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:William Entriken speaking with a microphone at NFT.NYC conference.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:47, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
