Non-free image use
Hi Racingman11. The licensing of each image you see on Wikipedia is determined by it copyright status and not every image file you see on Wikipedia is licensed the same. Some files are licensed as public domain or licensed under a free licensed suitable for Wikipedia and these are often collectively referred to as "free images". Other files are licensed as non-free content because of their copyright status and these file are commonly referred to as "non-free images". Non-free image use is highly restricted and each use of such an an image must satisfy Wikipedia's non-free image use policy. One of these restrictions is WP:NFCC, which says that non-free content can only be used in the article namespace. For this reason and as explained in WP:UP, non-free content such as File:Bob_Dylan_Live_1966_Recordings.png, etc. cannot be used (i.e., displayed) in User:Racingman11/sandbox. Perhaps you did not notice the edit sum I left the previous time I removed the image; therefore, I'm posting this here to provide more explanation. If you have any questions about this, feel free to ask as WP:MCQ or WT:NFCC. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:51, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

The 1966 Live Recordings
This article could have been created over the redirect at The 1966 Live Recordings in the first place instead of you needing to request speedy deletion to move your AfC submission over the top of it.
