Speedy deletion nomination of Houston GLBT Community Center edit
A tag has been placed on Houston GLBT Community Center 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 an organization or company, 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 guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. mark nutley (talk) 16:18, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Your recent edits edit
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button

Trouble? edit
I can try to help you. You should first contact the deleting administrator and have him or her copy your original material to your talk page or user page. You can work on the article there before it is resubmitted. If I can see the text you had originally, I can try to see if there's some way to refashion it to meet Wikipiedia's notability goals. You might also try dropping a note to the people at WP:WikiProject Houston. — e. ripley\talk 18:52, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
Some of the references were deleted by accident when I was formatting the page. The others were not necessary, as they were trivial mentions in the calendar section of a magazine, which is information that is supplied by the Center itself (i.e. the magazine did not take it upon themselves to write an article about the Center). The type of sources that Wikipedia is looking for is outlined here: WP:RS; and to some extent here:WP:GNG. ... discospinster talk 18:54, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
- I was including all of those references in order to show the significant work being done over the past 14 years by the Center. Those references included things like this:
- Is that not necessary? We welcome independent (fair and balanced) submissions from those outside of our organization and even seek those for this page. Please let us know what else we can do to ensure that our page meets the Wikipedia guidelines.
- That might have been one of the references that was accidentally deleted during my formatting blitz. I apologize for that. ... discospinster talk 14:48, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on St. Paul United Church of Christ of Corpus Christi, Texas requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.stpaulucctx.org/our_history. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. /wiae 🎄 01:46, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
Non-free rationale for File:Shaun Cassidy 1978.jpg edit
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Shaun Cassidy 1978.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 20:04, 24 February 2020 (UTC) BBagbyGrose 12:39, 8 March 2020 (UTC)You all make me tired. It's not worth the effort to even post one of my own pictures. You don't have enough to do in your lives.BBagbyGrose 12:39, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:Shaun Cassidy 1978.jpg edit
Thanks for uploading File:Shaun Cassidy 1978.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 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. --B-bot (talk) 04:12, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
