Non-free rationale for File:Warrior King.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Warrior King.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 15:08, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Cover of Zviuya Zviri Mberi, a Shona-language novel by Joyce Simango published in 1974.jpg


The file File:Cover of Zviuya Zviri Mberi, a Shona-language novel by Joyce Simango published in 1974.jpg has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Non-free book cover being used in a WP:DECORATIVE manner in the main infobox of Joyce Simango. Non-free book cover art is generally allowed to be used for primary identification purposes in the main infoboxes or at the top of stand-alone articles about books, but its use in other articles is generally only allowed when the cover art itself is the subject of sourced critical commentary as explained in WP:NFC and the context for non-free use required by WP:NFCC is evident. There is no such commentary for this particular book cover which means there's no real justification for using in anywhere (even outside of the main infobox) in the article the books author."

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

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

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:33, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

Undefined sfn reference in Parmenas Githendu Mockerie
