Speedy deletion of Illinois doberman rescue edit

 

A tag has been placed on Illinois doberman rescue 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 company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance 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 companies and corporations.

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 (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. NsevsTalk 15:57, 10 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Reply to your comment on my talk page edit

While a noble and human effort, Wikipedia has notability criteria that governs inclusion into this encyclopedia. Unless there is something uniquely notable about this rescue group over most others, please provide verifiable, reliable sources which substantiate this fact. Cheers! - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 16:14, 10 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

OK, but there are many others like it. If San Francisco SPCA can have an article, why can's IDR? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_SPCA --Loudes13 (talk) 16:24, 10 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Attacks in the article Image:CynthiaBumperSticker.jpg edit

Please do not make personal attacks as you did at Image:CynthiaBumperSticker.jpg. Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks. Attack pages and images are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images, especially those in violation of our Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons policy, will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you.

Image copyright problem with Image:CynthiaMcKinney.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:CynthiaMcKinney.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by STBotI. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 19:06, 16 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

For the record, I've marked this for speedy deletion, just as I did your previous self-created political advertisement above. Inserting personal political advocacy into the encyclopedia is not acceptable under any circumstances - not only does it directly violate wikipedia's NPOV policy, but political campaigning – or even the appearance of political campaigning – for US political candidates could jeopardize the Foundation's nonprofit status. If you do so again, I will seek to have you blocked until after the election as a preventive measure. Don't do it. Gavia immer (talk) 20:45, 16 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Warning about political images edit

  This is the only warning you will receive for your disruptive uploads.
The next time you upload an inappropriate image, such as Image:CynthiaBumperSticker.jpg, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
Please do not upload political campaign images for any other reason other than as a visual aid for an article of Wikipedia (and in those cases, the appropriate images are usually not self-created). Political commentary is tolerated in certain amounts on your userpage but images that attack another living person as the aforementioned image did are not tolerated. Please also note that Wikipedia is not a webhoster for you to store your images. There are multiple free services for this, see Image hosting. Regards SoWhy 06:45, 17 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for Image:Allen skillicorn WAG ice.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Allen skillicorn WAG ice.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 04:55, 2 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for uploading File:Dr Eric Wallce.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

Speedy deletion nomination of Adam Andrzejewski edit

 

A tag has been placed on Adam Andrzejewski requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Dismas|(talk) 02:32, 24 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Additionally, the article was already deleted once back on 2 June 2009 and the content of this article is not significantly different from the previous version. Dismas|(talk) 02:32, 24 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Deletion review edit

No, having the same article posted over again would not indicate that someone is notable. After all, the reposting could be done by a single individual with a mission and a single purpose account.

At the top of the AFD discussion, it says not to modify the discussion once it is closed. The decision was to delete the Adam Andrzejewski article. If you'd like to discuss it more, you can put the article up for review at deletion review.

If you have any questions for me, after all I did put it up for deletion and had the article speedied in the past, you can reach me on my talk page. I'll be happy to answer any questions you have (if I can) about notability and such. I really have nothing against Andrzejewski or the Republicans (since you suggested that there was some bias against the party on WP), I just don't believe he's notable... yet. Dismas|(talk) 19:47, 11 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

I cannot look up who created previous versions of the article. I'm not an admin. I'm just a user like you. All I can see is what you can see here.
Just because you hear about him every day on the radio does not make him notable. If you had multiple independent sources, then he'd be notable. From what I recall, all you had to offer were local political blogs. I don't recall you trying to offer coverage in, for example, The Doings, the Sun Times or the Trib. Those could have easily satisfied the claims of notability. Did you read WP:POLITICIAN? It spells out the criteria for notability for politicians. Barring that, he might have even passed the general notability guidelines if, like I said, he had articles written about him in major publications. Note, just a mention of him attending some event doesn't count as coverage. Having an article chiefly about him would though.
And it doesn't matter if I'm not in Illinois, even though I am from Hinsdale. A local person may seem notable to a local resident but that doesn't necessarily mean that they are notable enough for inclusion in WP. The applicable policies were pointed out to you several times both on your own talk page as well as in the deletion discussion.
I went through Google News trying to find mentions of him. I found only 41 entries and none of them, as I recall, really focused on Andrzejewski. They mentioned him, surely, but there wasn't really any significant coverage. Dismas|(talk) 21:14, 11 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

File source problem with File:Husqvarna SM610.jpg edit

 
File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Husqvarna SM610.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.

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 06:09, 23 September 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 06:09, 23 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
