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?
This is well beyond copyright. I have no problem with Wikipedians sneaking cameras into concerts to take free pictures. The people who are on stage are in a public performance. Nevertheless, I would question using pictures of normally anonymous audience members.
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?
How could we do that without infringing the copyrights of the people who design and produce the tickets? ;-)
