Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Kamal Youcef-Toumi.png

Thank you for uploading File:Kamal Youcef-Toumi.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. RachelTensions (talk) 06:48, 19 July 2025 (UTC)

Hi @RachelTensions, thanks for the feedback. I believe the current fair use rationale already addresses the replaceability concern under WP:NFCC#1. No free image of Kamal Youcef-Toumi is available, and creating one would require access and permission that are not reasonably obtainable. The image is low-res, used only once in the article, and follows the minimal use requirement.
Unless there's a specific point that needs adjustment, I believe the file meets the non-free content policy. Let me know what exactly needs to be improved.
Thanks again! -- Cipher Nox (talk) 07:23, 19 July 2025 (UTC)
Hi Rachel, just following up to close the loop. I've removed the dispute and let the deletion tag stand, per admin feedback at WP:MCQ (link). While I still believe the original rationale was policy-compliant under WP:NFC, I understand this isn't the consensus interpretation.
Thanks for your time. -- Cipher Nox (talk) 12:36, 19 July 2025 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: National identity card (Algeria) (November 25)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by ChrysGalley was:
This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:
Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
 The comment the reviewer left was:
This article needs a bit more sourcing to establish notability. It should not prove too difficult - some newspaper coverage should be possible. See the Ghana Card as an example where there are more sources, though only a few more are needed here, it does not have to be a lot of referencing. Primary source - government publications - can't be used to establish notability and the Thales article is not independent. These sources are good for establishing points within the article, but not for the overall notability requirement. There are other ID cards which only use primary sources, but within the AFC process we need reliable secondary sources.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

On ECR restriction

Hi Chiper Nox. I would like to remind you that per the extended confirmed restriction, Non-extended-confirmed editors may use the "Talk:" namespace only to make edit requests related to articles within the topic area, provided they are not disruptive. 45dogs (they/them) (talk page) 17:41, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

I would also remind you that as WP:PIA is broadly construed, your continued involvement was plainly in violation of the extended confirmed restriction. Please refrain from violating it again. 45dogs (they/them) (talk page) 17:48, 2 December 2025 (UTC)
Honestly, this closure makes no sense. I did not discuss ANYTHING related to the Arab-Israeli conflict. My request is strictly about the article title for the USS Liberty, which clearly involves the US not the Arabs. Nothing in my request touches the broader conflict. Closing it under that rule feels like gatekeeping and that's it. ـ ـ Cipher Nox (talk) 17:49, 2 December 2025 (UTC)
Yes, you didn't mention anything related to the Arab-Israeli conflict directly. However, the article is under the PIA restrictions. As the topic area is broadly interpreted, the discussion would appear to fall within the topic. I understand it feels like gatekeeping, but we have these restrictions in place in order to prevent disruption within the topic area, even if it means they have to be enforced against well meaning editors. I can ask for further clarification from an admin if needed, but I'm fairly certain this falls within the broadly interpreted category. 45dogs (they/them) (talk page) 17:55, 2 December 2025 (UTC)
The Liberty was attacked during the conflict by a party to the conflict. 331dot (talk) 18:01, 2 December 2025 (UTC)
