A tag has been placed on William M. Ryland requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, 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 assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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 page (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. Caknuck 01:12, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Websense blockage.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Websense blockage.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 18:45, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Fuck Quest

I apologise for the speedy deletion of the article as a G1, I should've checked around first and saw the game did exist, however after doing some searching I have realised the game is not by Sierra and is just a parody game of non-notability. If you can find evidence of notability you are free to re-create the article with sources, however until then the article probably won't exist. –– Lid^(Talk) 03:09, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

November 2007

Please stop. If you continue to introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, such as Health Ranger, you will be blocked. — Coren ^(talk) 16:18, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, it's a question of making a claim of importance— and I can't see one in that article. If you'd rather I restore it and AfD it, however, I have no significant objection. — Coren ^(talk) 16:24, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Allright, but please remember to make sure you have some reliable sources in there— otherwise it won't survive the AfD. In particular, sources independent from the topic of the article. — Coren ^(talk) 16:31, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Controversies regarding the use of ARM or Intel architectures in mobile computers

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Controversies regarding the use of ARM or Intel architectures in mobile computers, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. 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.

Your nomination against Range voting

Shame on you for wanting to (and being the only person to) get the article on range voting deleted. Please be more tolerant, and thoughtful in the future with regards to nominations for deletion. You're obviously a disruptive user. --AB (talk) 22:24, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of New York 2008

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on New York 2008 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an 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.

Proposed deletion of New York 2008

The article New York 2008 has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

fails WP:GNG and WP:WEB; no sources found

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. VernoWhitney (talk) 13:00, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
