Re: Jon Sutton
Welcome to Wikipedia.

The article which you created, Jon Sutton is subject to deletion because it is an article about a person, group of people, band, club, company or website that does not assert the importance or significance of the subject. In addition, the image which you provided does not meet the Wikipedia image requirements, and is also subject to deletion for licensing reasons.

If possible, please address the above concerns immediately to avoid deletion. Otherwise, feel free to contact me if you require assistance.

Dear Jackk, this was my first attempt at writing an article from scratch, and I was having some trouble with it, especially with the image which is not under copyright but somehow got that tag. Go ahead and delete it. If I do choose to rewrite, I will do so addressing the concerns you raised from the start. --Nicolo Machiavelli 12:29, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Artifact screenshot.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Artifact screenshot.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 06:13, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Problems with upload of File:Album cover of The Path of the Clouds by Marissa Nadler.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Album cover of The Path of the Clouds by Marissa Nadler.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or what the copyright status is. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Media copyright questions.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 15:31, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Album cover of The Path of the Clouds by Marissa Nadler.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Album cover of The Path of the Clouds by Marissa Nadler.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. Salavat (talk) 00:21, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Album cover of The Path of the Clouds by Marissa Nadler.jpg


The file File:Album cover of The Path of the Clouds by Marissa Nadler.jpg has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Non-free album cover being used in a WP:DECORATIVE manner in Marissa Nadler. 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. There is no such commentary for this particular album cover anywhere in the Nadler article, which means there's no real justification for it's use and no real loss of encyclopedic information suffered by readers of the article by not seeing the cover art."

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) 07:38, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
