Fair use rationale for Image:520956s.jpg
Image:520956s.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Deletion
Someone proposed to delete this page, saying that:
 * Notability concerns: Can't find reliable, secondary sources which provide coverage of this putative singer in order to demonstrate notability under WP:GNG or WP:ENT.

Sorry, that doesn't make any sense to me. Luigi *was* a very well known singer at the time, at least in much of Europe and in Israel. "Une Maman" and "Pitie" were very well known songs. See an example of his song "Une Maman" (and "proof" that he had albums and news coverage) in, and "Pitie". In you can find many of his songs in mp3 format. What more would you like as a proof of his notability? News clippings from the 60s? Sorry, I don't have those. But he's a very well known singer (even today), much more than many of the non-notable singers, sport people, politicians, and so on, which have Wikipedia articles.

I found a book source! Dictionnaire de la chanson en Wallonie et à Bruxelles By Robert Wangermée, Pascale Vandervellen, 1995, page 231. See on Google books: I hope this is more than enough evidence that this singer is, or at least was, notable. Nyh (talk) 08:59, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
