File talk:Eric Esmail Parnes Neo Orientalist.jpeg

Permission has been granted by the author and creator of the image in question, Eric Parnes, whose official studio I reached out to specifically for this request. I have asked them to repeat the email permitting use of this image on Wikipedia and he or his authorized representatives will email you directly. This image must not be deleted. It is necessary to the article itself. Thank you for your understanding.

Contested deletion
This file should not be speedy deleted as an obviously non-free file but which is not claimed by the uploader to be fair use, because... it in fact is a FREE USE file specified by its author at ADDRESS REMOVED. He has written directly to mailto:permissions-en@wikimedia.org with a repeated confirmation of this permission. The image is necessary for demonstrating the actual subject of the article itself. --Yenleo47 (talk) 18:13, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I have replaced the speedy deletion templates with a OTRS pending template. This would normally allow the image to stay here for a month whilst waiting for someone to read the e-mail. I have removed the e-mail address to prevent spambots from finding the address. --Stefan2 (talk) 18:34, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
