Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Violence against LGBTQ people in Finland

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Category:Violence against LGBTQ people in Finland indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz Read! Talk! 21:21, 14 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

File:John Tinniswood with Guinness World Records plaque in 2024.jpg

edit

Hi Sebbog. Even though the subject of File:John Tinniswood with Guinness World Records plaque in 2024.jpg is dead and a non-free image can, in priciple, be used, non-free photos sourced to news agencies like the Associated Press or Reuters, and image licensing agencies like Getty Images or Alamy are pretty much always considered to fail WP:NFCC#2 and item 7 of WP:NFC#UUI and are subject to immediate speedy deletion per WP:F7. So, you're either going to need to find another non-free image of Tinniswood to use instead or somehow find some sourced critical commentary of this particular photo in reliable sources that can be added to the article. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:40, 29 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Of course ... The article doesn't need a fair-use image then. You can delete it. - Sebbog13 (talk) 17:40, 29 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
