Replaceable fair use File:Deana Martin from "Volare" CD.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Deana Martin from "Volare" CD.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair 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 fair 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 fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion 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 (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. January (talk) 08:33, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

April 2018

Hello, I'm TJRC. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, Jingle Bell Rock, and several other song-related articles. However, you didn't provide reliable sources so they have been removed and archived in the page history for now. Also, please note that including cover versions of a song must meet the Wikipedia guideline WP:COVERSONG. If you can document how the recording meets this guideline and can include a citation, please feel free to re-add it! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. TJRC (talk) 22:17, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Bye Bye Blackbird, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. You're continuing to make edits like this even after having been warned, above. TJRC (talk) 22:52, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

Destination Moon (song) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Destination Moon (song), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the confirms on the Articles for Creation template atop the page.

Disambiguation link notification for April 7

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Deana Martin, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Destination Moon and Bellissima (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Help with Deana Martin and related pages

I have been helping Deana Martin update her wiki page, because of the links we put in from songs she has recorded to descriptions of those songs keep getting deleted. Also, the photo of the book cover she had uploaded (book is about her father) was deleted. After they were deleted the first time I went in and put connections to articles that showed she had recorded those song, but after a couple weeks those links disappeared again. Someone named Walter Gorilitz is the person deleting the links between songs. We don't know who he is or why he is deleting the links. Can you help me understand what is going on please/

Please help me with...

Step 1 - moved help me request to user's own talk page. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 01:05, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

Step 2 - It appears you have been making changes to the pages in question without properly citing sources, which is one reason another editor may have reverted your changes. The place to discuss this is on the talk page of the article.

Step 3 - I do not see that you have declared your conflict-of-interest relationship to the changes you are making. If you are "helping Deana Martin", whether as a paid editor or just a generous friend, you do appear to have a conflict of interest and must adhere to WP's policies regarding disclosure. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 01:11, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

If you mean these edits, "Destination Moon" links to a disambiguation page which doesn't have any further information on song or album, while "Bellissima" links to a disambiguation page that doesn't even mention the song. Those are not helpful links for our readers. Walter Görlitz may have additional comments. Huon (talk) 01:13, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the ping. I deleted the links to the subject's biography because the covers are not discussed by a reliable source and her cover versions do not meet the notability requirement at WP:NSONGS. That's what WP:SONGCOVER expects for inclusion of any cover song. I think explained that with each delete. Feel free to check the edit summary in the history of the articles. If I failed to do so on any deletion, please accept my apology. I also deleted many other cover versions that fail to meet the criteria at the same time. A general policy here is that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. We could easily allow people to add lists of songs like this, but we do need to have a minimum threshold of importance. The efforts of another WP:SPA who has a keen interest in the subject helped me discover that none of her albums are particularly notable. I asked the community, and they agreed so the album articles have been deleted as well. I have nothing against the subject. I am simply part of the music project and am trying to keep it clean.

I echo the conflict of interest comments made above. Wikipedia should not be used to help Ms. Martin promote her music. If reliable sources comment on her music career, it would be useful to see that content added to her article, but be sure to add the sources. Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:33, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
