Your submission at Articles for creation: Gary Johnston (March 11)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by CommanderWaterford was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Gary Johnston and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Gary Johnston, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

DMR logo

I have noticed that the Department of Main Roads (New South Wales) logo that you uploaded in December 2020 was deleted on Commons last month. I am just wondering if you remember where you sourced it from, as I also intend to upload the DMR logo on English Wikipedia (not Commons). I just want to see if the logo you found back then will be the best logo to be reinstated on the DMR page, otherwise I will use DMR logos I can find on reports from the 1980s on Open Gov NSW. Please ping me when you respond. Marcnut1996 (talk) 04:07, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Tollway sign F3.png

A tag has been placed on File:Tollway sign F3.png 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 from a commercial source (e.g. Associated Press, Getty Images), where the file itself is not the subject of sourced commentary. If you can explain why the file can be used under the fair use guidelines, please add the appropriate fair use tag and rationale.

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 "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 deleted 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. 202.172.126.228 (talk) 15:30, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Unacceptable use of non-free content. Wikipedia's [content project page] specifically cites "A photo from a press agency or photo agency (e.g., AP or Getty Images), unless the photo itself is the subject of sourced commentary in the article." as being an unacceptable use of non-free content. In order for the photograph to fulfil the 'subject of sourced commentary' exception, text would need to be written referring specifically to the photograph itself (not the content of the photograph), which would certainly be non-encyclopaedic due to sheer lack of notability. Even if the aforementioned issue was not a factor, the uploader's current justifications for fair use are extremely vague and inappropriate. The 'purpose' justification is invalid due to the 'subject of sourced commentary' issue mentioned above (again, the photograph itself must be the subject of commentary, not the content of the photograph). The 'minimality' justification cited does not address the 'minimal use' of the image at all. The 'commercial' justification is totally invalid as the photograph is still at full resolution (cropped, but still full resolution) and NSW Roads and Maritime charges in excess of hundreds of dollars for editorial use of the image at commercial rates, therefore certainly impacting the commercial viability of the photograph. Given that several of the ten required criteria for non-free use quoted on the [content criteria page] are invalid due to the reasons mentioned above, I am requesting a speedy deletion of this image due to copyright infringement.

It should be mentioned that any further attempts to upload and link this particular image will be reported to the Administrators' noticeboard as per the repeat copyright infringement guidelines., as I have already had to do this once before with the same Getty Images photograph, only that time it was blatantly watermarked with zero fair use justification. 202.172.126.228 (talk) 15:31, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
