Non-free rationale for File:Train Ride to Hollywood 1975.png


64px|left|alt=|link= ↗
Thanks for uploading or contributing to ''':File:Train Ride to Hollywood 1975.png ↗'''. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria ↗, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page ↗, and edit it to include a non-free rationale ↗.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions ↗" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion ↗ and ask for a chance to fix the problem.<!-- Template:You can request undeletion --> If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page ↗. Thank you.<!-- Template:Di-no fair use rationale-notice --> — Ирука<sup>13 ↗</sup> 00:19, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

:Did you see my non-free media explanation? I just entered it today. I would like a speedy resolution to this matter. Bruce the Terrible (talk) 07:36, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
:: The use of non-free files in drafts is not allowed (WP:NFCC ↗#9). — Ирука<sup>13 ↗</sup> 12:54, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
:::Well, then can I use this file in the article once it's approved by Wikipedia? Bruce the Terrible (talk) 14:43, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
:::: Only if the file matches all ten points of NFCC. — Ирука<sup>13 ↗</sup> 14:50, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Train Ride to Hollywood 1975.png


35px|text-top|left|⚠|link= ↗ Thanks for uploading ''':File:Train Ride to Hollywood 1975.png ↗'''. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use ↗. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media ↗).

Note that any non-free images not used in any '''articles''' will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗. Thank you.<!-- Template:Di-orphaned fair use-notice --> --B-bot (talk) 17:45, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

:I uploaded it for a draft article. However, I can upload it in the published article about the band Bloodstone. Bruce the Terrible (talk) 22:09, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

{{divbox|blue|3=At present, the existing sources do not provide enough coverage to verify notability according to Wikipedia's guidelines ↗. Reviews are good, but the two reviews are from the same person. Otherwise, Discogs ↗ is a deprecated source, and the ''HBO Guide'' provides routine coverage ↗ for the release of the related film.

:I tried rewording the background paragraph explaining the LP per Significa liberdade's recommendations, and I found a separate review of the soundtrack album in an archived weekly newspaper rather than relying on Dave Marsh's extensive comments on the record. I would have added more reviews of this LP, but I couldn't find any; I even searched ''Rolling Stone''<nowiki/>'s archives for a review of the LP and found nothing. I think I'll give up on this article, mainly because Bloodstone's ''Train Ride to Hollywood'' soundtrack album, despite being every bit as good as Marsh and Todd Everett says it is, was not a commercial success. I understand that many people would regard Bloodstone as a two-hit wonder for their inability to get more than two singles on the ''Billboard'' Hot Hundred, so perhaps notability is a requirement that can't be met here.
