Proposed deletion of Colonel Richard T. Curry edit

 

The article Colonel Richard T. Curry has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. ttonyb (talk) 05:33, 4 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Colonel Richard T. Curry edit

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Colonel Richard T. Curry 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 person or group of people, 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. ttonyb (talk) 05:35, 4 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

File source problem with File:Ramadi Iraq .jpg edit

 

Thank you for uploading File:Ramadi Iraq .jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 20:39, 11 April 2011 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. 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 or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 20:39, 11 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

 

The article Memorial Day Remembered at Camp Buehring, Kuwait has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No indications of notability

While all 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. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Nick-D (talk) 08:40, 8 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Notability edit

Hi Bengal40, I've nominated the Memorial Day Remembered at Camp Buehring, Kuwait article you created as it does not appear to cover a notable event. The article is also problematic as it is written as a news-type story rather than an encyclopedia article. Wikipedia's overall standards of notability are explained at Wikipedia:Notability and the notability standard for notability for events is explained at Wikipedia:Notability (events). In brief, for a thing (person, event, organisation, etc) to be notable it needs to have received a substantial level of coverage in reliable sources which are independent of the subject of the article. I note that you're working on developing a new article for Colonel Richard T. Curry in your user space at User:Bengal40/Colonel Richard T. Curry. Wikipedia's notability standards for people are explained at Wikipedia:Notability (people), and I don't think that Colonel Curry meets them from what's in the draft article (particularly the lack of sources). I would suggest that you do not publish this article on Wikipedia as it is likely to be deleted. I hope that this isn't too unfriendly an introduction to Wikipedia, but you need to be aware of the relevant inclusion standards. Please let me know if you have any questions. Regards, Nick-D (talk) 08:48, 8 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
