Replaceable non-free use File:Rolandcr78.jpg

Thanks for uploadingFile:Rolandcr78.jpg.I noticed that this file is being used under a claim ofnon-free use.However, I think that the way it is being used fails thefirst non-free content criterion.This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may haveno free equivalent;in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go tothe file description pageand add the text{{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}}belowthe original replaceable non-free use template, replacing<your reason>with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. Onthe file's talk page,write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject,requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license,or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking onthis link.Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per thenon-free content policy.If you have any questions, please ask them at theMedia copyright questions page.Thank you. — Ирука¹³16:11, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

I agree, sort of. However, theRoland CR-78is now a very old drum machine. I don't own one and unless you could find someone who did, and they allowed you to take a photo of it, then it would not be possible to replace it with a free equivalent.--♦IanMacM♦^{(talk to me)}16:55, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

I don't think NFC works like that.) — Ирука¹³17:03, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
