Orphaned non-free image (Image:PointParkLogo.jpg)[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:PointParkLogo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 08:50, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The {{db}} template says quite clearly "do not remove this notice from pages that you have created yourself". What makes you think it does not apply to you? -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 09:46, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • No need to be rude. However, I'm not sure what you're talking about having removed or to what extent you've messed with my contributions ... I can see by [your user talk] page that you're a rather incorrigible type, so I don't care to press the matter. My apologies if I putzed up a template or the like. Happy hunting. abbajabanana (talk) 05:05, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What is rude about my message and surely it is perfectly clear? I applied a {{db-web}} tag to the article. That tag includes a "do not remove …" message. Five minutes later you removed the tag. It is possible you removed it by way of uploading a new version from an edit box on your computer. But in that case you should have received an "edit conflict" message which you did not investigate. You do not need to be unsure of the extent to which I have messed messed up your contributions: my contributions history is available to see. The only edits of yours which have been deleted are those to 20DC. Happy editing. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 09:47, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Fair use rationale for Image:AMClogo.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:AMClogo.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 19:08, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on The Globe student newspaper requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Phlegm Rooster (talk) 08:07, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of The Globe student newspaper[edit]

A tag has been placed on The Globe student newspaper requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a club, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guidelines for people and for organizations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. MrOllie (talk) 18:45, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of The Globe (student newspaper)[edit]

The article The Globe (student newspaper) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

NN student newspaper at small university, completely unsourced for SEVEN YEARS. Student newspapers are not inherently notable, and no evidence that the paper is discussed in "significant detail" in multiple independent, reliable sources, as the GNG requires. Article unimproved and all but unchanged in the eight years since it was created.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
