Non-free use disputed for File:Lalah_Hathaway_WhereItAllBegins_.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Lalah_Hathaway_WhereItAllBegins_.jpg. Unfortunately, I think that you have not provided a proper rationale for using this image under "fair use". Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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. Note that the image description page must include the exact name or a link to each article the image is used in and a separate rationale for each one. (If a link is used, automated processes may improperly add the related tag to the image.  Please change the fair use template to refer to the exact name, if you see this warning.)

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted after seven days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 16:43, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Deb. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Thanks Deb. having it rewritten...

The article Kenneth Whalum III has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about a real person, individual animal, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki (talk) 21:59, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Kevin Whalum.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Kevin Whalum.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Peripitus (Talk) 21:43, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Kevin Whalum


The article Kevin Whalum has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. --Animalparty-- (talk) 18:52, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I have restored the article to your user space, at User:Fairwave/Kevin Whalum. Please work on it there, as it will likely be quickly deleted again if it remains in main article space. ~Amatulić (talk) 18:48, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

On a separate talk https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:APerson I got an OK to repost with the Reference links from his interview with the National Museum of African American Music. Why was the page declined now? ~
 * said it was OK to use as a source. And it's a good source of information about the subject. APerson did not say that a YouTube video confers notability. Because the video just shows Kevin Whalum talking about himself, it's what we call a primary source. A subject requires multiple sources that establish notability. The sources need to provide significant coverage as well as being reliable and independent. The YouTube video is one source. It would be considered reliable, but not independent coverage.


 * The article needs to establish exactly what criteria of WP:MUSICBIO have been met here. He needs to meet only one of them. But I am not seeing that. ~Amatulić (talk) 23:42, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
