Speedy deletion???[edit]

This article is marked as a "candidate for speedy deletion". I don't know who wrote that, but if a Nobel prize winner is not entitled to have his/her own wikipedia page, I think there is a problem. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.81.9.177 (talk) 11:19, 7 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any traces of this article having been nominated for deletion, speedy or otherwise. Any attempt to get it deleted would certainly be doomed. Favonian (talk) 11:25, 7 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The photo was nominated for speedy deletion. I replaced it with another photo I downloaded from a press kit. Someone with more experience, please check to make sure I did it correctly. Thanks. USchick (talk) 15:08, 7 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thats untrue. On Commons, where you uploaded your second version, fair use is strictly forbidden.
