Thanks for uploading File:Elsa schiaparelli 1937.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free 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. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 17:24, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

Yeah, that's OK to delete, I see someone has located a free use image, even though it's horrible quality. So good to delete it as a low-quality free-use image will always trump a decent quality fair-use image. :) Thanks for the heads up. Mabalu (talk) 23:48, 15 July 2026 (UTC)

And indeed, there is a brilliant portrait option that has now entered the public domain - so yes, go ahead and remove the original file. Thanks again. Mabalu (talk) 23:55, 15 July 2026 (UTC)

In case you’re interested, there is a discussion as to what of the two available images we should use at Talk:Elsa Schiaparelli. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 04:16, 16 July 2026 (UTC)
