Apologies, it was a Carrie Underwood image we've had this exact same discussion about. They were politely told to go fuck off, which is what I would suggest our friends at Commons do right about now.

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:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/Image:Kell y-clarkson-live-in-geelong.JPG
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? -- == Dan == Dan's Mail Format Site: http://mailformat.dan.info/ Dan's Web Tips: http://webtips.dan.info/ Dan's Domain Site: http://domains.dan.info/
