Proposed deletion of Paul Heeren

The article Paul Heeren has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails the general notability guideline - not the subject of significant coverage in reliable secondary sources. Also fails the secondary criteria of WP:ARTIST - not routinely cited by his peers, no enduring body of work, not the developer of a new technique or means of expression ("swooping guitar" is a descriptor not a new technique, and the sentence is in any case unsourced).

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Orphaned non-free image File:The Times Astradome, April 1992.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:The Times Astradome, April 1992.jpg. 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) 18:06, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:The Times April 1992.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:The Times April 1992.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. Whpq (talk) 11:53, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Help me!

Please help me with...

Added an image to a page having been granted permission to use by the photographer, but it was removed as it was a non-free image. The photographer has subsequently sent an email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org using the template text to agree to publish the work under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International.

What happens now - he hasn't had a response and the image doesn't appear to be available for use?

Please note that Wikimedia Commons is a separate, though related, project from English Wikipedia. If the photographer has released the photo under a CC license, the photo can be uploaded there and used here. If you're not sure what's going on, I suggest starting with c:Commons:First Steps. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 07:54, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
