Spa-Francorchamps

"Fastest lap" refers to fastest race lap - the Schumacher time you substituted was a qualifying lap. It was also set on the circuit before the revision of the Bus Stop section. Raikkonen's is the fastest race lap on the current circuit. -- Ian Dalziel 13:16, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Margaret.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Margaret.png. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

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

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 22:06, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination for Bristol UWE HC B

A tag has been placed on Bristol UWE HC B 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. Lame Name (talk) 16:27, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reasons for deletion

Hi Covkid, I was just replying on the article's talk page when it was deleted beneath me. I was saying...

The criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia is notability. This university "B" hockey team appears to have no notability. According to the article "They have never won a major trophy" and "officially have no fans or mascot". Wikipedia is an encyclopedia this article is not encyclopedic.

Coventry City

The difference between the two teams is that Coventry has notability. Lame Name (talk) 17:20, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

In general notability exists - "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article."

The guidelines for Non Commercial Organisations say: Organizations are usually notable if they meet both of the following standards: 1. The scope of their activities is national or international in scale. 2. Information about the organization and its activities can be verified by third-party, independent, reliable sources.

So - no; a website and Facebook group would not suffice. Lame Name (talk) 17:58, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
