Speedy deletion nomination of File:Twyman–Stokes Teammate of the Year Award with Chauncey Billups.jpg
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
A tag has been placed on File:Twyman–Stokes Teammate of the Year Award with Chauncey Billups.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria. If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the file can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{Non-free fair use}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the file. If the file has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Thanks for uploading File:Dave Rimington Trophy.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 the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:17, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi Bagumba,
Thank you for the recommendation about the preview button I have started doing that.
What do I need to do in order to prove that I have permission to post that photo of the NBA MVP? I work on Marc Mellon's website and social media, he is the sculptor of the trophy and he took the photograph I uploaded.
- Hi there. You can refer to Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries. Working for a creative artist, I hope you can understand these steps are to protect his interests, and that he does consent to allow free use. Regards.—Bagumba (talk) 19:00, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, no problem, I understand. I just wanted to know what to do. Thank you for getting back to me. I'll review the link with Marc and see what he wants to do. Best regards, Terri
