An article you started, Cosmic Cantina, has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt that this restaurant was not particularly notable and that the article served mostly as an advertisement. Please review WP:NOT and Wikipedia:Importance to see why Wikipedia rejects certain kinds of articles.
If no one objects to the article's deletion within a five day span by removing the {{prod}} template, it may be deleted without further discussion. If the tag is removed but the concerns are not addressed, the article may still face deletion through debate at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. NickelShoe 01:17, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Nimbo_livi_adult_male_01.gif
editThanks for uploading Image:Nimbo_livi_adult_male_01.gif. 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 06:39, 29 January 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Shyam (T/C) 06:39, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

As a copyright violation, Friday Center appears to qualify for deletion under the speedy deletion criteria. Friday Center has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message. For text material, please consider rewriting the content and citing the source, provided that it is credible.
If you believe that the article or image is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:

Arthur Gordon
editHi. I rolled back edits that you recently made to Arthur Gordon as they were about an 'arthur gordon' other than the one that is the topic of that particular article. I would encourage you to create a new article about this particular 'arthur gordon' with a different title, such as Arthur Gordon (chef) or something like that and then disambiguate them. Best wishes. -Gwguffey (talk) 17:43, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of Carolina Business Institute
editA tag has been placed on Carolina Business Institute 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 important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles 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 that has been nominated for deletion (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 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

File copyright problem with File:Bi_jia_shan_at_high_tide.JPG
editThank you for uploading File:Bi_jia_shan_at_high_tide.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.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Chris G Bot (talk) 00:22, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
