Image description for Flint Michigan
editI noticed in the edit history of Flint, Michigan that you had added some information to the caption on the photo of the Flint River. I would suggest that you also add that information to the description of the image on Commons. Image descriptions on Commons are a good place to save information about photographs, and you can write as much as you want there. It's good to save the info there because picture captions on Wikipedia pages are likely to be changed by subsequent editors. Also, if you have some information on the date of the picture, you can add that into the description. The date currently is unknown. The image is on Commons here. If you have not edited anything on Commons before, it's just the same as on Wikipedia, and you don't have to have an account on Commons—although I would encourage you to create an account. Thanks. ●DanMS • Talk 00:29, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of Paul Bryar
edit
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Paul Bryar, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
- Non-notable person. No evidence of notability is provided, and I am unable to find significant coverage of this person in reliable sources. This article may have been created as a campaign page to advertise his candidacy for Illinois' 5th district congressional election; however, on March 3 he failed to win the election for the Democratic nomination, meaning he is no longer a candidate.
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

- I do not object to the deletion. My belief is that any candidate for congressional office is notable by virtue of the public and civic role of that office, and that as an unbiased source of information, Wikipedia should strive to present biographic and substantive information on any and all candidates. That said, notability is defined by of coherent civic function; if Dr Paul Bryar runs for office again in the future, I do believe that he would meet Wikipedia's standards of notability. In the meantime, I don't believe that such an article is necessary. BlueSkiesFalling (talk) 16:50, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
