File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Sruli Recht.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too.

If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. feydey (talk) 09:24, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

csd advice

The article in all versions seems to have been promotional, and I deleted it accordingly. If you want to try again.

Omit all adjectives of praise
Do not use pull quotes with selective quotations praising your work
reference all statements explicitly to reliable 3rd party sources, not blogs.
the more concise the article, the more likely it is to be seen as non-promotional. just make sure you have enough sourcing to clearly meet the GNG. DGG ( talk ) 19:07, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hasty Deletion of Sruli Recht

To DGG , Deleting the page of this notable person was hasty and rather hostile. Instead of opening a dialogue to discuss changes, you deleted the additions of many different people who are interested in this person. This is a notable designer, and a simple google search can present you with enough data on this. It would have been more professional to discuss these concerns and suggest the adjustments and amendments so that the page could be developed instead of this approach. This article was part of developing the Icelandic wiki project and has had various people contribute to it.

Please reinstate the article so the factual data that you claim is promotional does not have to be resourced, and the page does not have to be restarted from scratch.

Updated

Page has been updated with all information cited by thrid party sources. Please suggest further corrections if needed.Sawwater (talk) 13:23, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Every single point comes directly from a reputable source. There are 93,300 google hits on the subject, as well as published books, including the Gestalten publishing book on Icelandic fashion design, which has a Sruli Recht photograph as the cover. This designer has been noted in some of these articles as the best known designer from Iceland.
For comparison, I suggest to look at the page of Gudmundur Jorundsson which references the subjects own webpage bio, and is written by and signed by the subject, and also uses quotes referring to other people.
Other very well known fashion designers pages are similarly "unreliable" by your standards, even though Sruli Recht is very well known in the fashion business world. It is possible that the general wiki editor's field of interest are various and rarely fashion oriented, which makes the subjects less covered/ edited by those knowledgeable, and more scrutinized by editors such as yourself.
Please see the following pages for reference - all very well known international fashion designers: Rick Owens, Antipodium, Yigal_Azrouël Akira_Isogawa It would be good to have an editor who's field of interest is fashion and design weigh in come to think of it.
Recht is mentioned in Time magazine, Fashion Business times, Huffington post, has a dedicated segment on TYT, the worlds biggest online news... the list goes on. We could find and add a heavy amount of references from printed fashion journals if necessary, but there would be more references than text in the article.
I would appreciate help in knowing how to improve this article based on your criteria, as the article is clearly relevant to any reader researching fashion design. Wikipedia is here to educate those not knowledgable on a subject, by those who are.
The only doubt about the notability of the subject is the suggestion of deletion at the top of the page. Otherwise, if the lack of notability of Sruli Recht can't be proved then I propose immediate removal of the deletion suggestion.Sawwater (talk) 16:10, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
