There are many policies on Wikipedia, and I also joined with my own policies.
One is, if a legitimate content I upload to Wikipedia is deleted by someone or something at the other end of the world, I dont and won't contest for its undeletion. Never!
OK, that's up to you but you can not complain then that people don't listen to your point of view.
I received these images listed here that has been marked for deletion ( see close to bottom of page) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Nkansahrexford#File:

explicitly from either the celeb herself or from her manager.
They are nominated for deletion.
An article about Ashesi University's found that has seen about 200,000 views since it was started has been nominated for deletion on grounds that make no sense.
"Patrick Awuah, Jr." on @Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Awuah%2C_Jr.
Just saying.
Contributions from well meaning individuals go to fix the imbalance whatever of africa we all preach about, and IP addresses delete them without any substantive reasons. And no one cares. Feels to me machines do those deletions instead of humans.
Are machines taking over editing on Wikipedia? Or because of these weird activities, humans are no longer contributing their time, and rather bots and machines are taking over?
They were asked to be deleted by a real user: Yann, who is a more than 10 years old Wikimedian. If a few of the inserts on your talk page are made by an IP, it's probably a computer error, Yann is behind this.
I'm in flames here!
I understand, but the solution is to talk to him. You have done it two hours ago and you will get an answer in the next days. But, as a reminder: the owner of the copyright of a photography is the "photograph", not the subject who is photographed.
