Speedy deletion nomination of File:Brian battistone.jpg

edit
 

A tag has been placed on File:Brian battistone.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. [1], and it was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:

  • state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
  • add the relevant copyright tag.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ww2censor (talk) 15:38, 11 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Please read Wikipedia:Licensing: all images on Wikipedia must permit commercial use, so if you want to see this image stay on Wikipedia, you'll have to add a license tag that permits commercial use. You may choose any of the licenses listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags/Free licenses — just choose a license that you like and copy/paste the curly braces and the text inside them onto the image page. For example, if you want to use the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License, type "{{cc-by-3.0}}" onto the page, and it will be acceptable. Finally, please note that the image will be deleted after a few days if you don't add a license tag. Nyttend (talk) 17:07, 11 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
