Deletion of Image:The Escape Engine-press photo.jpg & Image:The Escape Engine-live at cmj-photo.jpg

I was hoping for some clarity on the deletion of the two above photos. My understanding according to what the text below says was that these photos were acceptable since the band is no longer together.

Pictures of people still alive, groups still active, and buildings still standing; provided that taking a new free picture as a replacement (which is almost always considered possible) would serve the same encyclopedic purpose as the non-free image. This includes non-free promotional images.

However, 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.

If not, can you please advise me where these photos should be uploaded to and what would be the appropriate justification? Thank you in advance. --NJ hardcore kid (talk) 18:07, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

The images lacked any non-free use rationales. What non-free use rationale would you give that addresses all the points in WP:NFCC? See also WP:NFURG. Stifle (talk) 18:55, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Ok, so this was completely my misunderstanding. Thank you for taking the time to clarify it for me. So, since the images are available through the original websites that I had listed in the details, I probably should have listed them as with Some Rights Reserved using Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 2.0 (cc-by-sa-2.0). Correct? If so, are you able to undelete them so I can adjust the use license is or will I have to I re-upload these and start over again? --NJ hardcore kid (talk) 18:52, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

I'll undelete them, but you must link to the exact source page (a page where the image can be seen, not just the base URL) so that we can verify that the free license applies. You uploaded the images choosing "non-free image of a living person" — if they're free, then that's not the right one. Stifle (talk) 18:57, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

First, thank you. I am use to using an internal company wiki where things obviously operate differently...some of this stuff is rather confusing to read through and determine what is the right choice. Second, I have corrected the license for the The Escape Engine-press photo.jpg and have provided a direct URL to the image where it can be seen. Hopefully, everything is correct and I can do the same for the other image. Thanks again. --NJ hardcore kid (talk) 19:56, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

So far so good. However, nothing on the Fidelity Records website verifies that the images are indeed available under the cc-by-sa-2.0 license. You need to get a statement put up on the website saying so, or have an email sent from an address ending in @fidelityrecords.net to permissions-en@wikimedia.org saying that the images are available under that license.

If you don't do this, then the images will be deleted again. Stifle (talk) 20:21, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Cool. Ok, so consider that one done. Emailed the label and they said they thought that they had already taken care of it - but would make sure they do. Now, I got another question.... so I originally found the other photo on this photographers website, which is now no longer available for some reason. But I also found it on a myspace profile as well. Can I use that as the link to reference where I got it from and would that still fall under the same cc-by-sa-2.0 license? --NJ hardcore kid (talk) 21:18, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Images only fall under the cc-by-sa-2.0 license if they explicitly say so. It's not just something you can slap on and say it'll be OK. So unless it's on the source site, it's definitely a no-go. Stifle (talk) 22:07, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Fidelity Records

A tag has been placed on Fidelity Records requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Nuttah (talk) 08:56, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
