Proposed deletion of From Sydney with Love

 

The article From Sydney with Love has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Article based on claims about a movie proposed for the future. Unsourced. Notability not demonstrated and impossible to demonstrate because it is merely proposed for the future.

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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Articles for Bulgarian tennis players

Hi,

Thanks for reviewing my article about the Bulgarian tennis player Todor Enev. I see you need more references, so I put one to the player's profile on ATP's website (you can see his rankings there), two for his playing activity - singles and doubles (you can see his results over the years and the finals he played), one for his rankings history (you can see his ranking places over the years and in what place he was at the end of each year) and one for his profile on ITF's website :) I hope that will be enough :)

I also made 4 more articles about other Bulgarian tennis players - Tihomir Grozdanov, Dimitar Kuzmanov, Alexander Lazov and Valentin Dimov :) I put similar references in those articles too, so you can check them all and hopefully there won't be any new problems!

Thanks for the help! kr1s71an :)

Undid RfA nomination

I undid your RfA transclusion because you did not follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Nominate. That being said, I highly suggest you do not proceed with a nomination. Your account is far too young and the incorrect transclusion will certainly work against you. I would suggest waiting until at least February (when you have been editing for a year). Ryan Vesey 21:36, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

  • By all means, you have every right to run for admin whenever you choose, but I agree with Ryan that it is usually best to wait until you have been here at least 1 year. Most people have no problem giving the admin bit to someone if they have been here a year of regular contributions, but I can't remember the last time someone passed RfA who had been here less than one year. That said, we are certainly glad to have you here helping out, doing good work, and enthusiastic enough to consider a run. Dennis Brown - © Join WER 21:48, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
Dennis Brown is right.It may fail now.Make sure you continue your good work so that you can go for one soon(February) Cheers TheStrikeΣagle 02:07, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi Stausifr. I have checked all your work so far and I'm impressed with what I see, especially the articles you have created. I think that if you keep up the same amoount of work over another 12 months, you would stand a good chance of being an admin. However, you will need to get more experience in some admin related areas, and I recommend that you read WP:NPP and WP:Deletion and then help out on page patrolling - it should teach you most of what you need to know about deletions. Consider also reading WP:Advice for RfA candidates. Happy editing! Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:55, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

... and important to note: completing the "application" properly next time is usually a pretty good idea :-) dangerouspanda 19:40, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

AFC reviews

Please, check Holographic Interference Microscopy and Todor Enev (your last two acceptances at the AFC project) and their talk pages: Check the last revisions of these four pages, especially what I have done. Keep that in mind and do the same for the next submission please: Tag with projects, clean the pages up (and if unsure, or if you don't know how, then tag it with maintain boxes) and do other small stuff! mabdul 22:33, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Moreover this page: Janaadhar Constructions: external links, refs with multiple content within the same ref name tag, headline cleanup, refs after dots/commas, etc. So, gn8, will check the others tomorrow: the big good news: I saw no submission until now which shouldn't have been declined/accepted as you did it. So keep up doing good work. ;-) mabdul 22:54, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

The last thing, for you as a reviewer:

Speedy deletion nomination of Zai shui yi fang (1975 album)

 

A tag has been placed on Zai shui yi fang (1975 album) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a musical recording which does not indicate why its subject is important or significant, and where the artist's article has never existed, has been deleted or is eligible for deletion itself. 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 music.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. mabdul 23:02, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

AFC Backlog

Articles for Creation urgently needs YOUR help!
 

Articles for Creation is desperately short of reviewers! We are looking for urgent help, from experienced editors, in reviewing submissions in the pending submissions queue. Currently there are 2549 submissions waiting to be reviewed and many help requests at our Help Desk.

Do you have what it takes?
  1. Are you familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines?
  2. Do you know what Wikipedia is and is not?
  3. Do you have a working knowledge of the Manual of Style, particularly article naming conventions?
  4. Are you autoconfirmed?
  5. Can you review submissions based on their individual merits?

If the answer to these questions is yes, then please read the reviewing instructions and donate a little of your time to helping tackle the backlog. You might wish to add {{AFC status}} or {{AfC Defcon}} to your userpage, which will alert you to the number of open submissions.

PS: we have a great AFC helper script at User:Timotheus Canens/afchelper4.js which helps in reviewing in just few edits easily!

We would greatly appreciate your help. Currently, only a small handful of users are reviewing articles. Any help, even if it's just 2 or 3 reviews, it would be extremely beneficial.

Hello, I need your help. I want to improve my article Holographic interference microscopy, and put some pictures into it. But I failed to do it. Ttishko (Ttishko (talk) 18:52, 24 August 2012 (UTC))

Dear Stausifr, thank you for the remark. Of course, this is the article about digital interference microscopy, and I want to improve it. I'd like to put the image of an interferogram of a micro-object(blood erythrocyte) just for readers to imagine how it looks, and the 3D image of the human blood smear reconstructed from its interferogram. I am very thankful to you for your wish to help with the task. How can I provide you with the pictures?

Multiscreen video submission

Thank you for reviewing my submission on multiscreen video. Can you expand on the reasons for declining the submission? I understand the concern about notability and researched multiple published secondary sources. The cited rejection references lack of notability for a person. There are two criteria listed that seem to apply:

1) the subject of multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.

I've listed 13 references including The New York Times, The Washington Post, Electrical Engineering Times (aka EE Times), AdWeek, and Advertising Age. Is this a question of more citations or more notable secondary sources?

2) All biographies of living individuals must comply with the policy on biographies of living individuals, being supported by sufficient reliable independent sources to ensure neutrality.

I'm not sure how this applies since this is not a biography of a person. This is a specific term and industry publishers such as Broadcast Engineering, GigaOM, Streaming Media, and EE Times tend to use it more frequently. However, the term is used in both advertising and engineering journals as well as newspaper articles about the topic.

Originally, I noticed the definition in the topic H.264/MPEG-4 AVC where it seems uncited in the Hardware-based encoding and decoding section. Would it be better to add a sentence within this topic instead of a stand alone topic? Thank you for your help. Fighuhldz (talk) 16:16, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Born Gold, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Electronic and Indie (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Speedy deletion nomination of Propel Consult

 

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 Propel Consult 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.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. AllyD (talk) 17:03, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Propel Consult logo.jpg)

  Thanks for uploading File:Propel Consult logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:36, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

Deletion nomination

Hello,

The advertising agency (Rizkgroup Communications) just like the Memac Ogilvy, Tbwa, Havas, etc. companies was very influential in the advertising sector in the Middle East since the 1960s and especially in Lebanon. It is one of the first agencies in lebanon and the founder was the one who introduced advertising into the most important advertising university in that region (ALBA - The Lebanese academy for fine arts) - the agency is highly influential in this part of the world with clients like Starbucks, Pepsico, Hyundai, Galaxy chocolate, MTN communication, IBQ, Sony, etc.

I highly appreciate if you review the nomination,

Awaiting your feedback, Best, Mayalynn

I am a first-time writer and very much need help on my article submission. I have read the relevant pages but do not see why the sources are not as 'verifiable' as they should be. They are from established newspapers that are over a century old and I have a list of at least 20 from these two papers.

Proposed deletion of Şahika Koldemir

 

The article Şahika Koldemir has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the 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. -- Patchy1 00:58, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Propel Consult logo.jpg

 

Thanks for uploading File:Propel Consult logo.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. mabdul 21:50, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

Articles for creation is desperately short of reviewers! We are looking for urgent help, from experienced editors, in reviewing submissions in the pending submissions queue. Currently there are 2549 submissions waiting to be reviewed and many help requests at our help desk.

Do you have what it takes?
  1. Are you familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines?
  2. Do you know what Wikipedia is and is not?
  3. Do you have a working knowledge of the Manual of Style, particularly article naming conventions?
  4. Can you review submissions based on their individual merits?

If the answer to these questions is yes, then please read the reviewing instructions and donate a little of your time to helping tackle the backlog. You might wish to add {{AFC status}} or {{AfC Defcon}} to your userpage, which will alert you to the number of open submissions. Plus, reviewing is easy when you use our new semi-automated reviewing script!
Thanks in advance, Nathan2055talk - contribs

Proposed deletion of Superman: The Legend

 

The article Superman: The Legend has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable article topic- WP:WEB and WP:GNG.

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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Orphaned non-free media (File:GVK Bio logo.png)

  Thanks for uploading File:GVK Bio logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 05:01, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Shannon sutherland.jpg

 

A tag has been placed on File:Shannon sutherland.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

File permission problem with File:Michael Goldstein stun media.jpg

 

Thanks for uploading File:Michael Goldstein stun media.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. LGA talkedits 01:43, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
