AfD nomination of The Signal (Film)

edit

An editor has nominated The Signal (Film), an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Signal (Film) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.

Deleted page

edit

If you would like to tell me the name of the article I deleted, I will review it and get back to you.--Anthony.bradbury 18:04, 24 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

OK. Now I still think that the article does not adequately show notability. But I have restored it to give you a chance to bring it up to speed. I will now leave it alone, but, fair warning, it might well be deleted by another admin unless it is brought more closely in line with wiki guidelines. Happy wikying.--Anthony.bradbury 18:13, 24 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

No, you are not a nuisance, and I am always happy to help, if I can. To achieve notability, as a film maker or as an island dweller or as anything else, the trick is to show how your subject is different to other film makers, island dwellers, etc. If he has published anything then yes, put it in. Was there anything special about being on Kwajalein, which was both an American weapons test site and the site of serious world war 2 fighting? Did he do anything which other people did not/could not do? While there, did he relate to or belong to any intrinsically notable organisations or groups? Best of luck.--Anthony.bradbury 18:29, 24 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
I feel that the article is now good. Not great, but good. I have removed the deletion templates. Do not forget that in wiki no-one owns anything, so someone else may yet come along and tag it again. But I hope not.--Anthony.bradbury 21:23, 24 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Welcome

edit

You'll be fine. We all have to feel our way into this project. While, as it happens, I did not have any articles deleted, I made some awful mistakes initially, for which luckily friendly admins were on hand to help with. I notice that no-one has sent you our standard welcome package, which I enclose below. This gives you a great deal of staggeringly useful information, and I commend it to you in the strongest possible terms. Happy wikying.

Welcome!

Hello, JoeyC5, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Signal dvdcover.jpg)

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Signal dvdcover.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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. (ESkog)(Talk) 13:21, 8 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

AfD

edit

Hello Joey, I presume you're taking about CJ Johnson? I AfD'd the article mainly because it was a recreation of a previously deleted article and I couldn't see a massive amount of notability in it. Don't worry, if it's been looked at by other experienced users and they think it's OK, then it'll be kept. One thing to remember is that AfD isn't just a way of deleting articles (we use Proposed Deletion for that), but of making sure that articles are notable. That's why the AfD says "does this article have enough?" rather than "delete it now!" :)

(A quick tip - see if you can find some more external links apart from IMDB and MySpace - they don't count as reliable sources because people can update them themselves). Good luck! EliminatorJR Talk 00:21, 21 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Andre Boyer

edit

Since this was deleted in a previous AFD, you might want to head to Wikipedia:Deletion review to contest the deletion. Next time, don't recreate articles that were deleted in such a manner, just go straight to deletion review, or else it might get deleted in the same manner. bibliomaniac15 01:08, 21 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Here is a link to get you to the directions. Deletion review analyzes whether deleted pages should be restored or not. bibliomaniac15 02:42, 21 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Re: Quick Question

edit

Generally, if the new article contains substantially more than the old one, or corrects the problems which led to its deletion, it should not be re-deleted. However, admins have a lot of backlogs to wade through, and may not always pick up on the finer points of that. If you let me know what the article was, I can take a look at it and see if I think it's different enough that it should be subject to a fresh look. (ESkog)(Talk) 02:47, 21 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

I have restored the page, since it is, in my view, substantially different from the page which was examined and deleted by the previous AFD consensus. I don't really know if it meets my bar for what is "notable", but it's certainly reasonable that it gets a fair shake. (ESkog)(Talk) 02:54, 21 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
Honestly, what you did is exactly right. You don't need to go through a full Deletion Review process for another admin to take a second look at a G4 deletion (deletions of content which was previously deleted). Not necessary for this one, but it might help to put a note on the article talk page that explains how the article is different from the deleted version. (ESkog)(Talk) 02:58, 21 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
It's been restored. You may, however, want to find other sources besides IMDB. bibliomaniac15 04:30, 21 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Quick answer

edit

No, I'm not. — Indon (reply) — 07:09, 21 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

re:Quick question II

edit

I declined your requests because there is no justification for them to be protected (the policy to look at is protection policy). Admins can also edit and delete any article, whether they are semiprotected or even fully protected. Semiprotection is also not preemptive. Also, most editors who know how to use the AFD process can edit semiprotected paged (you only need to have an account over 4 days old to edit those). -Royalguard11(Talk·Review Me!) 18:14, 21 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

AFD tags can't be removed while the process is ongoing. They are to be kept on until the process is finished (5 days). And it can't be deleted until then either. -Royalguard11(Talk·Review Me!) 18:23, 21 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
After five days an admin will go and look at the discussion (the AFD). If he sees a consensus to keep, the AFD tag will be removed. If he sees a consensus to delete, the article will be deleted. -Royalguard11(Talk·Review Me!) 18:26, 21 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

AfD on CJ Johnson

edit

I have listed my thoughts on the article along with my vote on the article for deletion page. I see that you have now voted twice to keep the article. Typically editors only get one vote. It will probably take about 5 days to decide whether or not the article will be kept. This can be a difficult process for the editor who submitted the article, especially if it is their first contribution. In the mean time, finding other ways to make a contribution to wikipedia may help your cause. Good luck.Gaff ταλκ 18:55, 21 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

In order to keep this conversation from becoming fragmented, I will reply to you on my talk page. Again, all of this is just procedure. Nobody is going to get "delete happy" and delete your article. Gaff ταλκ 19:25, 21 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hi Joey, I've seen your work about CJ Johnson and Andre Boyer. I'm having difficulty evaluating the situation because I can't verify a lot of the information, especially about CJ. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like CJ has received a lot of attention. (He's still a young guy!) In order to verify the information it'd be good to see some stories that are about CJ (not stories by him, but stories about him). If there aren't any stories then maybe it's best to wait until CJ has been written about a little bit more. But please don't be discouraged! Wikipedia takes a long time to get used to (I've been here for over a year and I still learn new stuff all the time), and the more you edit the more you learn! --JayHenry 19:58, 21 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

You have been accused of sockpuppetry. Please refer to Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/JoeyC5 for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with notes for the suspect before editing the evidence page.

  • Here's the thing: I know first hand that it sucks to have an article that you worked hard on get deleted. If you read my user page, you will see that is how I was introduced to WP. I have nothing against you for wanting to make your contribution or against CJ Johnson. Its not even up to me whether it stays or goes. Again, I have looked at the article with WP:Bio in mind and do not think it measures up. As a side note, running around to other editors asking them to vote on your AfD is generally frowned upon. You would know this if you read the introductody material about AfD. I will post this message on my talk page and your's. Gaff ταλκ 20:35, 21 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Non-free use disputed for Image:Wanna Come In II.jpg

edit
  This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Wanna Come In II.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted after seven days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:40, 14 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Unspecified source for Image:Wanna.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Wanna.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, then 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, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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:Fair use, 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 uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 19:03, 26 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ElinorD (talk) 19:03, 26 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:Wanna.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Wanna.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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 'image' 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 "Image" 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. ElinorD (talk) 19:03, 26 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
