Speedy deletion nomination of The Night Runners


A tag has been placed on The Night Runners requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. red dog six (talk) 02:55, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

Fair Use Files
Hello Mr or Mrs Dust! I wanted to let you know that there are some issues with the file you uploaded, File:The Night Runners, From Left to Right, Laz & Richard Mason.jpg. Specifically, you uploaded it under a claim of Fair Use, but it does not meet the Wikipedia Policy on non-free content. The main reason is because it is a recent picture of living people, meaning it fails Criteria #1 on that page: That no free picture exists, or can be created to illustrate the subjects. Since this appears to be a photo from 2013 by the copyright notice, a free equivalent can easily be created to illustrate the group.

Other policy criteria that this doesn't meet include #3b, minimal use, which here means among other things that the picture should be just big enough to convey the message, without the high-res versions. And lastly, the file is tagged as a digital reproduction of a historic image, which means its a picture-of-a-picture (Mona Lisa, etc). No blame here, the license tags are not particularly intuitive when it comes to which of the 20 licenses apply.

I'm happy to answer any questions you have on this - there are definitely a lot of confusing hoops to jump through when using non-free pictures. Just be aware that the picture could be deleted in 48 hours due to the above. Crow Talk  18:40, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
 * And now I see you've re-uploaded it under a CC license, so just ignore all that above! :) Crow  Talk  18:46, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:The Night Runners, from left to right, Laz & Richard Mason.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:The Night Runners, from left to right, Laz & Richard Mason.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. January ( talk ) 19:02, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

Perhaps you should read A7 in the speedy deletion section as it states: It is irrelevant whether the claim of notability within the article is not sufficient for the notability guidelines. If the claim is credible, the A7 tag can not be applied. Often what seems non-notable to a new page patroller is shown to be notable in a deletion discussion. Meaning just because you may not be familiar with the show "X Factor USA" or "The Night Runners" for that matter, does not grant you the right to request deletion of this page when substantial evidence and references have been cited to discredit your accusation of The Night Runners page being deleted.

This page should not be deleted because all references have been already previously approved. All references have been well credited from reliable sources such as IMDB, the The X Factor (U.S. season 1) Wikipedia page where The Night Runners were then known as "Illusion Confusion" while being on the show. If you google search "Illusion Confusion X Factor" and look at the images you will clearly see that they are now known as The Night Runners and are public figures. No content on this page violates any copyrights. All content is verifiable, and all terms and conditions are met with The Night Runners Wikipedia page. This page is credible due to The Night Runners being living public figures in the Entertainment industry, specifically the music industry. I kindly ask that you do not delete this page. --Iampixiedust (talk) 22:40, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
