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.

The file File:Tricks (1925 film).jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Redundant, better quality exists at File:Tricks (1925) - 1.jpg

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.

A tag has been placed on Totò Mignone requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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.

Thanks for uploading File:A Chronicle of the Reign of Charles IX.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:

1. 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.
2. On the file's talk 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. — Ирука¹³ 12:05, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Lord Cornwallis. I've noticed you've recently upload a number of files of old paintings like File:Cleopatra and the Peasant.jpeg locally to Wikipedia. You might want to take a look at c:Commons:When to use PD-Art because most of your uploads are probably OK for Commons. Files uploaded locally to English Wikipedia are limited technically to being used only on English Wikipedia, even when they're licensed as public domain; files uploaded to Commons, on the other hand, can be easily used by any of the various language Wikipedias or other WMF projects. So, Commons is better suited to hosting such files since its setup is global and works well with all WMF projects. As long as you're reasonably sure the the paintings are no longer eligible for copyright protection in both the US and their country of first publication, they should be fine for Commons. If you've got any doubts, you can always ask for input at c:COM:VPC.

As for the files you've already uploaded, you can relicense them as {{PD-Art}}, a local English Wikipedia version of the Commons "PD-Art" template, in combination without another license like {{PD-US-expired-abroad}} (with the parameter |pdsource=yes used to indicate the painting is also PD in its source country; for example, {{PD-Art|PD-US-expired-aborad|pdsource=yes}}.) to tweak their respective licensing to something a little more appropriate while simultaneously tagging the files for a move to Commons. The {{PD-US-expired}} license you used isn't wrong per se, but the "PD-Art" license contains additional wording to cover any possible copyright concerns about the photo of the painting (these photos almost certainly aren't as old as the painting themselves) and the "PD-US-expired-abroad" makes it clear that the painting was first published outside the US and is also PD in its source country. For reference, such photos, for the most part, are considered to be slavish reproductions (i.e. lacking sufficient creativity to establish a new separate copyright for the photo itself) under US copyright law and by Wikimedia Commons, but the "PD-Art" license just makes that a bit clearer. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:35, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
