Orphaned non-free image File:Robert George .jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Robert George .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) 18:02, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
Hey Roisterer I saw that you created and have been the biggest contributor to this article and was wondering whether you had any thoughts on whether or not it should be split. I started a discussion on the article's talk page. TripleRoryFan (talk) 07:10, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
