Proposed deletion of File:Laird Bell.jpeg

The file File:Laird Bell.jpeg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

'Unable to verify whether publication is allowed by source website.'

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Also:

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Edwin Pauley, Wang-Shih-chieh, and General Chu Shih-ming during the U.S. Reparations tour.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Edwin Pauley, Wang-Shih-chieh, and General Chu Shih-ming during the U.S. Reparations tour.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:08, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

Rockefeller family

Thank you for your additions to Rockefeller family. I have a few concerns.

First, you have added non-notable names and companies to the embedded lists, such at Thomas M. Debevoise. My concern is that by doing this, the list is now wide open for the addition of anyone ever associated with the family (such as their auto mechanics and butlers). If it is crucial that non-notable names be listed, perhaps a short text can be included explaining why this person needs mentioning.

Second, please do not add external links to the body of the article, per WP:EL. An example would be "Arbor Acre Farms Inc.".

Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 09:34, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

Magnolia677 I'll be sure to remove the external links from the article's body. By "non-notable names", I assume you're referring to people who don't have their own article on wikipedia. If that's the case, I have no problem excluding them if I cannot show how they played a significant role in advancing the family's interests. However, things get a bit murkier when applying this rationale to companies. There are a large number of well-capitalized businesses with a national/global market for their products or services which (for whatever reason) don't have their own articles. As long as the Rockefeller family owned them in whole or in part over a substantial period of time, I don't see why they should not be listed. Emiya1980 (talk) 10:32, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. I agree companies are more complicated, and should be included. Perhaps just a note explaining the connection to the family. Thank you again for your hard work. Magnolia677 (talk) 10:39, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

Replaceable non-free use File:Andrei Pavlovich Kirilenko.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Andrei Pavlovich Kirilenko.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:

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.
On the file discussion 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.

AI upscaled images

Heads up per your "better quality image of subject" update of the Yuri Andropov article that the Wikipedia manual of style is presently against the use of AI to add detail to historical images - the original if slightly blurry photo from the 1980s is considered to be more useful here. (See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Images#Editing images.) Belbury (talk) 08:44, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
