Replaceable fair use File:Leland Milling Company Office and Mill.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Leland Milling Company Office and Mill.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, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Minorax &laquo;&brvbar;talk&brvbar;&raquo; 03:37, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

 * I just made some edits to make the article sound more neutral. Hopefully, that can fix it and keep it from being deleted. Plaidchampion (talk) 15:36, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Neutrality is not the issue I am seeing - it's that there are insufficient third-party sources that deal with the company. See WP:GNG or WP:CORP - either of these guidelines needs to be satisfied. Which may just not be possible for some companies, depennding on what written material is out there. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:54, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I just added another reference. Thank you for your help, and let me know if you would like me to add another! Plaidchampion (talk) 23:26, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
