A tag has been placed on File:Photo of Wim A. Naudé, Dean-Director of the Maastricht School of Management.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

File permission problem with File:Profile picture Dean Director MSM Professor Wim A. Naudé.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Profile picture Dean Director MSM Professor Wim A. Naudé.jpg, which you've attributed to See the source field. 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 are the copyright holder for 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.

Image without license

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Profile picture Wim Naudé 2018.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 MifterBot. 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. --MifterBot (TalkContribsOwner) 09:45, 5 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

Replaceable fair use File:Profile picture Wim Naudé 2018.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Profile picture Wim Naudé 2018.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:34, 15 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

Nomination of Wim Naudé for deletion

edit
 

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Wim Naudé is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wim Naudé until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. IagoQnsi (talk) 04:59, 12 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hey there, I see you tagged the page for speedy deletion per user request. Unfortunately, that speedy deletion criterion can only be applied to user pages (not encyclopedia articles), so I have removed it. If you would like the page to be deleted, please instead leave a comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wim Naudé. Thanks, IagoQnsi (talk) 15:49, 12 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Maastricht School of Management

edit

Hello! You asked me how you can get this article deleted. You already tried using the “user request” method, but that wasn't possible; that can only be requested by the article’s author, and this article has been on Wikipedia since 2006 and has been edited by many different people. There actually is a discussion going on right now about whether to delete it. That discussion is at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Maastricht School of Management. The discussion was started on April 8, so it will expire and a keep-or-delete decision will be made on April 15. You can post at that discussion and say what you told me, making it clear where the request is coming from. Or if you prefer, I can post there and say what you told me in email. But please understand that Wikipedia keeps or removes articles according to its own criteria, and we don’t necessarily remove an article just because the subject wants us to. If you have questions you can ask here; I will see it. --MelanieN (talk) 16:10, 13 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

I have posted a message at the discussion. --MelanieN (talk) 22:16, 13 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hello! The decision at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Maastricht School of Management was that the school meets our criteria for having an article, and it was kept. I hope you are OK with that. The current article is informative without being promotional, and does not contain any negative information. It has a couple of attractive pictures and a link to the school’s website. It does not have a history of vandalism or edit warring. As a final check, I have put the page on my watchlist and if I see any problems there I will deal with them. One of the editors at the deletion discussion had additional advice for you, if you want to make changes in the article or do things like add the school’s logo. And you can always contact me at my talk page if you have a concern. --MelanieN (talk) 20:41, 1 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
