Proposed merger - Organizations & Companies

In December I revived the discussion about merging the notability guidelines for Companies & Corporations into Organizations, with simplified text reducing the confusion of all of the special circumstances, which now reads like the US Tax Code. In mid-January I proposed that we make a decision by the end of January, and move to developing the text. The vote is now open at Talk Companies and Corporations.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:TheWickerMan USrelease Poster Warner.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:TheWickerMan USrelease Poster Warner.jpg. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Claius base pic

Hi. I noticed that you uploaded a screen cap from 2001 of the Clavius base and posted it in the Colonization of the Moon. I uploaded the same image and posted it to the same article almost a year ago. The pedia admins removed it and later deleted it from the site. Wik policy is the fair-use images can not be used in any article other than the ones they directly relate to. Just wanted you to know. Jason Palpatine 05:18, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes what one admin gets a hair up his/her ass to do one year, won't happen again. Lightning striking twice and all that. I think it IS relevant, as it represents a fictional illustration of the colonization and habitation on the moon in a very recognizable, and popular, film that the mass audience are aware of (as opposed to, say, Gerry Anderson's UFO series). We'll see. David Spalding (☎ ✉ ✍) 03:18, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)

It has been proposed that the following criteria be removed from this guideline: 1. The commercial organization is listed on ranking indices of important companies produced by well-known and independent publications.3 2. The commercial organization's share price is used to calculate one or more of the major managed stock market indices.4 Note this is not the same as simply being listed on a stock market. Nor is it the same as being included in an index that comprises the entire market. The broader or the more specialized the index, the less notability it establishes for the company.

We are close to evaluating consensus, please join with us in the discussion. --Kevin Murray 04:46, 14 February 2007 (UTC) [reply]
