Speedy deletion nomination of Gregoris Valkanas

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Gregoris Valkanas, to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon 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. 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.

Your recent edit

Hi! Welcome to en Wikipedia. It seems to me that you do not know how to edit. You have to edit properly with sources and the style. Please ask for help at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Greece or someone in this list before editing. Thank you. Oda Mari (talk) 15:28, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Well Allright but could we have a conversation via a Direct Messenger software?

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with this edit to Gregoris Valkanas. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you. Turgan ^Talk 15:32, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

I have already.. Sorry I just didnt knew..

We can talk on this page or articles' talk page. If you want to talk privately, you can e-mail me. Regards. Oda Mari (talk) 15:45, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

On Gregoris Valkanas ...

• I think the key with your article and claim of the first "kamikaze attack" will be to differentiate between "suicide" attack verses "kamikaze" attack/mission. Was it planned one way trip? Did he take off with the intention of not coming back or was it a decision made in the heat of battle? There is a HUGE difference here. As with others, I do not think it is a hoax and do not doubt that the event occured as portrayed. I also suspect that with digging there are earlier such events. I do not see the notability of the subject (Gregoris Valkanas), however, with regards to having a separate encyclopedia article. What sets him apart from The millions of others who have given thier lives and performed heroic deeds in battle? That needs to be established with reliable references to justify keeping the article.

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Valkanas.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Valkanas.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, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. 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:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 19:27, 15 May 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 19:27, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Valkanas.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Valkanas.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use 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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:21, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Valkanas.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Valkanas.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).

PLEASE NOTE:

• I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
• I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
• If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
• To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=DASHBot}} to your talk page.
• If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.

Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 05:39, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
