What should I do?
Don't panic; a discussion will now take place over on Commons about whether to remove the file. This gives you an opportunity to contest the deletion, although please review Commons guidelines before doing so.
If the image is
non-free then you may need to upload it to Wikipedia (Commons does not allow fair use)

fair use rationale then it cannot be uploaded or used.
This is another article related to several others that are hoaxes or have been tagged as possible hoaxes. It is not cited. They tried to be clever and cite a "source" that many people would not have ability or time to confirm. See my talk page for list of related articles that I believe are complete hoaxes. Unfortunately, some people use these to add bad info to true articles. --
