Proposed deletion of Duplicate metadata records
edit
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Duplicate metadata records, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
- Reads like an ad for NES, which may be unsurprising based on the edit history of the primary contributor. While there are sources, this seems to tread on WP:SYN and many passages aren't sourced & appear to be original research.
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.

Problems with upload of File:Nisc export.png
edit
Thanks for uploading File:Nisc export.png. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or what the copyright status is. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.
To add this information, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

The article Zoecracy has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- This appears to be made-up; either original research, or possibly a hoax. The two references stated are available online, and neither mentions 'zoe' - [1] [2]. To avoid deletion, demonstrate notability, through reliable sources.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Chzz ► 12:32, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
Articles for deletion nomination of Zoecracy
edit
I have nominated Zoecracy, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zoecracy. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Schuhpuppe (talk) 10:17, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Zoecracy, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://meaningism.org/governance.asp.
It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.
If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

Speedy deletion nomination of Zoecracy
edit
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Zoecracy requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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.

A tag has been placed on Zoecracy, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion".

If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. SupernovaExplosion (talk) 13:17, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
Note
editHi. I see you are the original creator of the article, so I thought I should inform you of my rationale for deleting. The article appears almost word-for-word the same as the version discussed at Articles for Deletion, and the new sources do not appear to actually mention anything called 'zoeocracy' (at least, the term gets 0 results at Google Books and Google Scholar). This is not to mention the copyright concerns.
In order to get the article created at this stage, you would need to go to Deletion Review. It Is Me Here t / c 13:47, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

- OK, let me start with the positive. I am glad that you have now provided a source for this, and therefore that it is not just something you made up. Having said which:
- The article did not reflect the nature of what Zoecracy is. Note that your source (whence I quote in this sentence) is a 'proposal' put forward in the 'opinion' section of a student magazine. Your article does not indicate in any way that "Zoecracy" was the subject of an op-ed written by some undergraduates, but rather discussed it as if it were a well-established political-scientific term like democracy or monarchy. If this is the only source that currently covers "Zoecracy" then a neutral, objective encyclopedic article on the subject really ought to begin something like: "Zoecracy is a hypothetical form of government first proposed in The Cape Town Globalist in 2011 ...".
- Having said which, if that is all that Zoecracy is (again: note that it has attracted no academic interest, from what I can tell) then it may well fail Wikipedia's notability criteria.
- There are also copyright concerns regarding the body of the article itself.
- All in all, your best course of action is to (a) gather more independent, third-party sources on this subject if you can and then (b) submit a case at Wikipedia:DELREV, seeking community consensus to recreate the article. Also, as a procedural matter, please bring up issues/post comments in one place only (i.e. there was no need to (re)create Talk:Zoecracy). Hope that helps. It Is Me Here t / c 15:40, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
Please stop recreating this talkpage for a non-existent article. Yunshui 雲水 14:38, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
Zoecracy
editThis article was deleted as a result of the deletion debate at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zoecracy. That means you cannot just put it in again. You have first to convince user Cirt (talk), who closed the deletion discussion, that you can overcome the reasons for deletion; if he does not agree, you can go to WP:Deletion review. I see you have a new userspace draft at User:Nscwikiedt/Zoecracy, which you can point to.
But a single reference in the Cape Town Globalist which shows that somebody has invented this word will not be enough for a Wikipedia article: the WP:Notability requirement is to show "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." The test is, have people independent of the subject thought it significant enough to write substantial comment about? See WP:42.
See also:
- the policy Wikipedia:No original research which includes: "If no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article about it. If you discover something new, Wikipedia is not the place to premiere such a discovery"
- WP:Wikipedia is not a dictionary#Neologisms
- WP:Wikipedia is not for things made up one day - written mainly for people who have invented a "joke" religion or a new drinking game, but the advice it contains is still relevant for a serious, but new, idea like this.
Orphaned non-free image File:Nisc export.png
edit
Thanks for uploading File:Nisc export.png. 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 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).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:27, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
