Non-free rationale for File:Merle 1910 Biplane at HP Nielsens shop.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Merle 1910 Biplane at HP Nielsens shop.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. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:38, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

HP Nielsen
Hi FLRdorothy. I came across this article while checking on some non-free images and I'm not quite sure Nielsen meets Wikipedia's standard of notability for a stand-alone article. Most of the sources you're citing are from very old newspapers which is making kind of hard to verify whether WP:BIO is met. The few sources which are provided with links only show trivial mentions which are not really the significant coverage needed for a stand-alone article. This appears to be your first attempt at writing an article and you did not submit it for review via Wikipedia:Articles for creation, so I am wondering why you chose to create the article. Is there by chance some connection between you and Nielsen? Do you have access to all of the sources you've cited? If so, perhaps you can clarify them a bit more.

I am not trying to be accusatory, just a bit curious and trying to sort things out. Nielsen seems to have led an interesting life, but that's not necessarily a reason to write a Wikipedia article about him. FWIW, I did ask another more experienced editor about this at User talk:Cullen328 and am posting here per his suggestion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:56, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi there. Listen, it may have been the two cents I threw in, at the discussion Marchjuly mentions, that causes Marchjuly to raise the notability issue here. The fact is I was very skeptical of Nielsen's notability by Wikipedia standards, based on what I saw in the article, and said so, but I also mentioned that seeing the Tribune obituary might change my mind. Well, I've taken a look (I should have done that last night before commenting) and to my surprise I've changed my mind. It's razor close, but I think the obituary just barely, barely, puts him over the notability line. That means the article can stay (assuming other editors take my word for what I've seen) but it will have to be cut somewhat. I'll be happy to help you with that (and you may find it a little confusing -- Wikipedia is partly rules and partly art) so don't panic. Let's let things settle down a while and then you and I can proceed together, though I'm quite busy for a while so it will take some time. In the meantime, something that will really help if you have them is if you would add the page numbers for the news articles to the references. EEng 00:09, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi, I have some experience editing from years ago but this is my first article, so I appreciate the comments. After learning about Nielsen via local historians he seemed like someone who was prominent in the Bay Area during his lifetime, and seems to have left a mark even if nobody's written a book about him yet. I'm planning an article next about the Sunnyside Conservatory and William Augustus Merrals, but haven't delved into the research yet. I'll see what I can do to get the references for this article up to standards. --FLRdorothy (talk) 22:17, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
