Daniel,
It's an ongoing farce where the idiot in question is trying to have this
free image replaced by a supposedly better non free image he found on the
internet. I seem to recall having this problem already, can't recall if it
was locally on en.wiki or on commons, but it's not the first time his has
happened.

I just noticed an attempt going on to delete a freely licensed Kelly
Clarkson concert picture:

The alleged grounds is "no permission from artist, label, or manager
for use, picture was taken at a concert, which may not be used for
such purposes without proper permission".
The deletion seems to be failing though.
Is this yet another hoop some want to toss up in front of image
uploaders, that there not only be a free license on the image
copyright itself, but that proper licenses be obtained from the venue
at which the picture was taken, and all people depicted in the image,
and the promoters of whatever event the picture was taken during?
Will it be necessary to include copies of the fine print in a concert
or other event ticket or program to prove whether photography was
allowed?
