Thanks for uploading File:Portrait 2 of.Barbara Stauffacher Solomon.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free 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 non-free 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 {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file's talk 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. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:22, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reaching out regarding the images I've uploaded. May I ask why you think there are free alternatives for each image? I was unable to find free alternatives which is why they are uploaded as non-free use with the copyright holder named (some of which are no longer living). Legally, in the US, images of public persons can be used for educational use as long as they are NOT published with the intent of commercial applications.

I don't know if this will interest you at all, but I like to add a lead image if possible, and have in some cases managed to do so... when the person is not L: Marian Ewurama Addy, Mercedes Richards, Santo Trafficante Sr., Sylvia Lefkovitz etc.

Rarely but it happens, I've encountered the article subject on WP, asked them to provide an image, and they did. Some will probably balk when they read the "not just for WP" terms. I think some Wikipedians have successfully reached out to article subjects off-WP, asking for an image, but I've never tried that. In some cases, like Nicôle Lecky, it was possible to get a pic from a YT-video that was uploaded with a free license. Maybe this helps some. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:09, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Brilliant idea, and very helpful. Thank you. Will reach out to the subjects. If the subject provides you with an image, it still has copyright though, yes? How is it then uploaded / added to the system? Slacker13 (talk) 14:08, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This should help: Wikipedia:A picture of you. Basically, you can upload a selfie of yourself on Commons[1], so can anybody else. You can also upload pictures you have taken yourself with your own camera, so can anybody else. You can also upload such pictures on your private website, marking them with a Commons-acceptable license then anyone can upload them on Commons. It's possible for copyright holders (usually the photographer) to license pics to Commons via mail contact, more on that here:[2]. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 10:46, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Slacker13. You proposed deletion for a lot of articles in a short amount of time with a generic rationale (does not meet notability requirements) and no evidence that you have looked for sources as required by

Thanks for the prod. Just going through the visual artists stub category one by one so this is what it looks like I'm doing significant tags in a short period of time. As I go through the stubs list there are so so many, well stubs or orphans and many lack "significant coverage" and this last part I guess I'm taking rather literally. For historical or deceased persons it's more difficult to find coverage, but for living persons -- please note that I actually am doing searches to check for viability and coverage in articles and books and most fall far far shorter than WP notability requirements of "significant coverage" which I understand to mean more than one or two articles. I agree, I might have missed the mark on Jack Brogan, but I think that was a personal opinion issue. Is the fabricator of other people's works notable? That's a rhetorical question for myself. Thank you for your time and your comments are heard. Slacker13 (talk) 13:54, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I took a look at a few of your noms. I agree with Jfire here,

WP:BEFORE is usually not the best way to deal with articles that the level of sourcing here. After doing a search, if you're still unable to find any coverage I'd suggest you open AfDs for these instead. One thing to keep in mind is to look in places you would expect sources to be (for example, a 1920's era police chief is not gonna get any online news hits, but they might have a ton of newspaper entries in their city paper, a researcher might not have news hits but may have many, well cited, papers), if you can't find them after looking there, mention it in the deletion rationale (which will strengthen your case). Source: I've learned this the hard way. Hope I can help a fellow AfDer out. Allan Nonymous (talk) 04:43, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply
