Speedy deletion nomination of File:Screen Shot 2017-01-24 at 1.48.19 PM.png


A tag has been placed on File:Screen Shot 2017-01-24 at 1.48.19 PM.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted content borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

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 "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.

 * Hello TucanKing! I unfortunately had to tag File:Screen Shot 2017-01-24 at 1.48.19 PM.png for deletion. I noticed that you requested help when you uploaded the file, so I hope I can explain why. As far as Wikipedia is concerned, content falls into one of two buckets: free, or non-free. By default, anything under copyright is non-free, unless the copyright holder has specifically said otherwise. This includes pictures you find on the internet, and pictures published by the subject of the image. In most cases, we prefer to use free content wherever possible, as it can be reproduced easily along with the article content.
 * When it is impossible to use free content, the English Wikipedia makes an exceptinon to that guideline, allowing non-free content to be used when it meets the WP:non-free content criteria. Non-free images of a living person (such as File:Screen Shot 2017-01-24 at 1.48.19 PM.png) meet the criteria because someone could create a freely-licensed photo, and can not be used on Wikipedia. If you have any questions about this, please ask me, or ask at the WP:Media copyright questions page. --AntiCompositeNumber (Leave a message) 22:07, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
