Replaceable fair use File:God Street Wine 2018 Publicity Photo.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:God Street Wine 2018 Publicity Photo.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text  below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:30, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:God Street Wine $1.99 Romances Cover.jpg


The file File:God Street Wine $1.99 Romances Cover.jpg has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Non-free album cover being used in a decorative manner in God Street Wine. Non-free album cover art is generally allowed to be used for primary identification purposes in stand-alone articles about albums, 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."

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) 06:15, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
 * The above also applies to File:God Street Wine This Fine Town.jpg, File:Cover art for God Street Wine's unreleased 1998 album Hot! Sweet! and Juicy.jpg and File:God Street Wine Bag.jpg. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:19, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

Conflict of interest editing
Hello, Gabesasso. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page God Street Wine, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the COI guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:24, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

Hello @Marchjuly I have no affiliation with the subject other than being a fan Gabesasso (talk) 12:37, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi Gabesasso. Thanks for clarifying. For the record, Wikipedia doesn't explicitly prohibit COI editing, but it does highly discourage it. Often times when a new account shows up and focuses on a single article in particular, it can give others the impression that there might be some connection beyond a mere casual one. Plus the fact, that you uploaded a press photo of the band apparently after receiving permission from the copyright holder to do so, also made it seem that you were somehow connected to the band or its representatives.There are other issues with the article, however, unrelated to any COI concerns that are going to need to eventually be sorted out. The first thing to try and understand is that the article is written about the band, not for the band; this means the article content is not controlled by the band or its representatives and needs to be in accordance with Wikipedia's various policies and guidelines. So, anything seen as promoting the band like lists of upcoming tour dates, or gratuitous social media quotes, etc. is not going to be OK. What is needed is content supported by sources other than the band itself or any fans so to speak which critically discusses the band and its music. Simply namechecking various other artists is most likely going to be considered fluff and removed. An administrator named removed some promotional sounding content; so, perhaps she can provide you with some more suggestions on improving the article, but try looking at WP:YFA, WP:42, WP:NPOV and WP:V for some more general advice. -- Marchjuly (talk) 12:59, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
