Proposed deletion of Voxel Tycoon

The article Voxel Tycoon has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Video games with no set release date

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

The intended release date of Voxel Tycoon is the first half of 2018. Regardless of whether this "deadline" is passed, it will release in 2018 itself. Please see, for instance, Everywhere (video game) for an article for a game that legitimately has no release date yet. DesertPipeline (talk) 13:07, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Logo of the game Voxel Tycoon with transparent background.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Logo of the game Voxel Tycoon with transparent background.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) 17:41, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

All non-free images are required to be used in at least one article per WP:NFCC#7; those which are not are considered "orphaned" and will be eventually deleted per WP:F5. Files which are deleted are not gone forever; they are only hidden from public view. So, if the file is deleted simply because it's an orphan, you can request that it be restored per WP:REFUND or by discussing things with the deleting administrator once you are ready to add the file to an article. Wikipedia is not an WP:NOTREPOSITORY, particularly for unused non-free content. Finally, fair use and Wikipedia's non-free content use policy are not exactly the same things, and the latter has been purposely made much more restrictive as explained in WP:NFC#Background. Non-free content does not require permission of the original copyright holder to be uploaded, but it does need to compy with relevant Wikipedia policy. -- Marchjuly (talk) 10:42, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
