Image copyright concerns

I have initiated discussion on copyright concerns for the image at Image talk:DavidTibet.jpg. Cnwb 22:38, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:David Tibet.JPG

Image:David Tibet.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:27, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrite/Clearup needed?

It seems to me that the article as it stands at this point focuses too much on Tibet's interest in Crowley. I think, given his artistic output and interviews, that this article should be far more reflective of his Christian viewpoint than his Thelemic connections. Could someone with a deeper knowledge of Tibet maybe clear this up a bit? -Prenna 13:11, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Calling Tibet a member of NWW is a stretch at best... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.171.244.102 (talk) 09:41, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Given the wealth of biographical material available I agree that this page really needs a rewrite. I would include a section on 'personal life' as not only is this fairly standard for biographical pages but Tibet has openly talked about the influence of his childhood and more recently his divorce on his music. Also some more on his visual art and involvement in the promotion of Outsider art would be useful. Citations could be made of reviews of his show with Stapleton at the Horse Hospital in London in 2003 for example. Xaventaner (talk) 13:48, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge of Current 93 into David Tibet

There's a great deal of overlap between these pages. C93 is so personally intertwined with David that I think that's unavoidable as long as they're separate pages. It's like having separate pages for Frank Sinatra and Frank Sinatra's music career. Apocheir (talk) 01:09, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, no, absolutely not. C93 is more than Tibet despite how intertwined he is with it. Tony Wakeford and Douglas Pearce both have pages for their main projects as well as their personage, so it isn't strange that David Tibet would be the same. If a merge must happen, then DT should be merged into C93. wound theology ◈ 13:21, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Closing, given the uncontested objection and no support with stale discussion. Klbrain (talk) 20:08, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
