Speedy deletion nomination of File:St. John Coltrane.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:St. John Coltrane.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

John Coltrane

Fix the image problem here. You forgot to add .jpg Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 17:47, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Am I correct in guessing from your username that you are the artist? And if so, did you retain copyright on the icon? If so, you should consider following the procedure at WP:IOWN. That way you could release the image under a free license and wouldn’t have to mess with a fair use rationale. —teb728 t c 19:47, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
