Hello, I am confused regarding the insertion of a specific rock band promotional photo. The photo was created for specific use in the media and has been published repeatedly in the past in articles, on posters and was created specifically for publicity purposes.I have reviewed the revised rules regarding such publicity photos and it seems that these may be speedily deleted for a number of reasons. While I am certain that if needed I can get the copyright holder's permission for use on Wikipedia, I would guess that the copyright user will not grant complete free use for commercial purposes which seems to be what is requested. From my basic reading it appears that Wikipedia does not allow contracts or permission granted from the copyright holder for only use on Wikipedia. The group in question is no longer together and there are no free license photos that I can find. The photo in question was previously published on the article 1313 Mockingbird Lane but deleted. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Kendall869 (talk) 16:50, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Given the lack of free alternatives, you should be able to use it as fair use. Look at WP:NFCC and see if your image satisfies the "policy" section.  If so, follow the guidelines in the tenth list item to mark as such.  Make sure to use a complete fair use rationale, or it will be "pseudo-speedy deleted" (i.e. you get a five day warning).  I hope that answers your question (if not, repair/replace the helpme).  -- Thin  boy  00  @775, i.e. 17:36, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello Again, Thank you for your help. I am not sure if I used the correct copyright template. I used the template associated with promotional photos. Apparently, the image was deleted for lack of fair use rational.I would really appreciate it if you could take a peek at the page prior to the deletion of the image and let me know if there is any other correction that I might add. Image page would read : Summary 1313 Mockingbird Lane resized from promotional photo for fair use Source http://upload.wikipdia.org......etc

I would most likely add the following for fair use rational:

Fair Use For 1313 Mockingbird Lane: Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by US fair use laws because: 1.The image is a low resolution sample of a promotional photo The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article topic. 2. The image is a promotional image specifically intended for mass distibution 3. The image does not limit or interfere with the copyright owners rights to sell their products or images. 4. Since the group in question disbanded it is impossible to replace the image with a new free alternative.

Thank you again, Kendall869 (talk) 03:25, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I beleive the rational you need is Template:Non-free use rationale. I'm not good at these things so if my idea doesn't work, feel free to readd the as you have done above.--Sunny910910 (talk 03:53, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
