Re: Henwood v Municiple Tramways Trust

This case can be found in the Commonwealth Law Review, if you can get your hands on a copy. My university library has most law journals, so I suspect any major university offering law would too. This is an Australian case, and can be found via the following reference. Henwood v Municipal Tramways Trust (SA) (1938) 60 CLR 438 So H V MTT is the case name, and (SA) refers to the state in which the events took place (South Australia) or at least the branch of the company, and the year 60 CLR 438 means in the 60th volume, at page 438. If you need more help, i recommend finding a law library and asking a librarian. I know that Canada is also a common law country, so this case, while not in any way binding, is still persuasive to Canadian courts, just as any cases decided in Canada will be considered in Australian courts, at least where the binding case law is not obvious.

Thanks for your comment, Barnaby BarnabyG 07:47, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Connecticut State Library

You removed the tag off of the article stating that it's a state government agency. I know it is, I live in Connecticut. But the article was created by an account called User:Connecticut State Library and it's obviously a copy/paste of most of this, which is probably free to use, but it shouldn't be copied and pasted. It's the definition of spam: an organization making an article solely to promote itself as opposed to following our policies. The user has been blocked for having a promotional username. The speedy criterion basically covers articles that would take an extensive rewrite to become encyclopedic. Would you like me to take it to AFD instead? Leebo T/C 23:47, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Well... I've changed my mind. I stripped it down to a stub and I guess I can try to write it myself. Spam bothers me quite a lot, especially copy/paste spam. Leebo T/C 23:57, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your message, and thanks for stubifying the article. I suspected that the article was a copy/paste, but I wasn't sure from where. You might want to look at California State Library and Saxon State Library for some ideas on restructuring the article. --Eastmain 00:16, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Opinion Leader Research

Grateful for the save you made of this article. I spent some time tabulating those values! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sjgibbs (talk • contribs) 23:30, 1 April 2007 (UTC).

Esmail Zanjani

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Esmail Zanjani, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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. Herostratus 03:40, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

In my view, the references in the article adequately demonstrate notability. --Eastmain 03:54, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Joys Green

I have restored it and moved it to User:Eastmain/Joys Green. Feel free to add anything you would like and move it into article space once there is enough to survive speedy deletion. Notability was not an issue when I speedied it. The issue was that there was insufficient context for expansion - someone who has never heard of Joys Green before would not be able to tell from looking at the article what it is talking about. At any rate, it is now restored and in your userspace where you can expand it at your convenience. --BigDT 11:53, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Village

Yes, a village is notable. However the article was deleted not because it's not notable, but because it was completely useless: it did not have even the most basic info: where is the village? how many people? how old it is? what cities are close? what attractions it has? etc. If you are keen on having it on Wikipedia, please write a decent stub on it. Renata 13:31, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

There is nothing to restore. The only text was: Milkwall is a small village with a friendly local pub and a local shop. Nothing more. Renata 00:10, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Villages

Having re-read both articles, I must say that I still feel that they lack adequate notability to survive, even as stubs. You will be aware that one of them has been deleted three times on this basis. As they are so very short, the labour involved for you in re-creating them from scratch is trivial, if you choose to do so. You have the option of going to editor review if you wish.--Anthony.bradbury 00:23, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Notability of Gale International

A tag has been placed on Gale International, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems 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 Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the 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. Mhking 03:32, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[Iwatsu Electric]

This company only gets 21,400 hits on Google, but the DB-BIO tag is because the article has does not assert the importance or significance of the subject at all. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Stoic atarian (talk • contribs) 18:11, 9 April 2007 (UTC).

Logos

Hi Eastmain. I'd know the true intention of the uploader how? Telepathy? Sorry to be facetious, but if an uploader tags an image as non-commercial/Wikipedia-only, how am I to know that the permission they've asserted is wrong? They were offered many, many choices and picked one completely incompatible with Wikipedia. Can I safely conclude that I know something they don't? Are they a representative of the organisation in question and speaking for them? If I switch tags to one of my choosing, what do I say is the fair use rationale for the image? Does it go without and get slow deleted? Do I make one up, not knowing what the original uploader wants to use the image for in future?

In short: can open, worms everywhere. We have to take the uploader at their word or we're asking for trouble. If it is indeed "usually done" to just swap for a {{logo}} tag, then those who are doing so need a stern slapping for doing so. If you can point examples to me, I'll do it myself.   REDVERS ↔ SЯEVDEЯ  22:21, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

You said: if the licence under which an image was uploaded doesn't permit the image to be used freely, consider whether fair use would permit the image to be used in a more limited way
We have to take the uploader at their word in these cases or we're asking for trouble. If I switch tags to one of my choosing, what do I say is the fair use rationale for the image? Does it go without a rationale and get slow deleted? Do I make one up, not knowing what the original uploader wants to use the image for in future? Can I safely conclude that I know something they don't about how the image should and shouldn't be used? Are they a representative of the organisation in question and speaking for them? Lots of questions, no answers.   REDVERS ↔ SЯEVDEЯ  22:45, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

RE: Notability of Harry Gurney

Thank you for responding to my tag!
WP:BIO states that special cases regarding athletes include: 

   * Competitors who have played in a fully professional league, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport...
   * Competitors who have played or competed at the highest level in amateur sports.

It does not appear that Harry Gurney fits into either athlete exception.
Reason: 1.) Leicestershire County Cricket Club is not a professional league.
Reason: 2.) Harry Gurney has not played or competed at the highest level in amateur sports.

However, it is personally believed that Harry Gurney adds to the significance of Leicestershire County Cricket Club and should be expanded in a timely manner. Tag removed, but I would like to see the article expanded.

Thanks for your hard work,

April 2007

This is your last warning. The next time you remove a speedy deletion notice from an article you created, as you did with Pierre Joliot, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. User:Veesicle 20:03, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Doris Downes AfD

You may want to look at the references you cited as establishing notability. 4 of them are media announcements derived from press releases from a commercial gallery (a gallery press release is not a independent 3rd person source), and the last one is NOT about the subject at all, it is about the subjects husband's auto accident and what a good wife the subject is. None of these seem to meet Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Special cases for establishing notability of an artist. Fountains of Bryn Mawr 20:53, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Michael MacKellar

Sorry, but I have no intention of making that edit. As my edit summaries stated, the edits adding those categories were made by a sockpuppet of a banned editor, who for the record is a prolific sockpuppeteer with over 230 sockpuppets identified to date. If you check the talk page of the editor in question you will see a message from administrator Riana:

As a blocked or banned user you are not entitled to edit Wikipedia. All of your edits have been reverted.

That is how bans are enforced, by reverting any edits a banned editor makes and deleting any pages they create, regardless of the merits of them. I would have no objections to you making the edit in question, and ideally adding his year of birth to the actual article as well as just a category, but due to the vast amount of time I'm spent chasing round after this editor both before and after his ban, I have no intention of implementing any edits he wants to be made, as it defeats the object of him being banned. Thanks. One Night In Hackney303 11:20, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Regarding edits to Dog n Suds

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, Eastmain! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the link you added, matching rule agilitynut\.com, is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. Please read Wikipedia's external links policy for more information. If the link was to an image, please read Wikipedia's image tutorial on how to use a more appropriate method to insert the image into an article. If your link was intended to promote a site you own, are affiliated with, or will make money from inclusion in Wikipedia, please note that inserting spam into Wikipedia is against policy. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! Shadowbot 02:38, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Please do not delete 'Speedy deletion' tag

You have removed the db-product tag from Bowbrook House School when it is clearly an advertisement from an entirely non-notable organisation. Please leave the tag in place and let an admin decide on notability. Kim dent brown 22:41, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

  • I entirely disagree that this school is notable. Every school in England receives a report similar to the one you found - do we need an article for every English school? However I will go back to the article and put the 'advertisement' tag in place of the speedy delete tag. Kim dent brown 22:58, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Kupari

In case you don't know may I remind you that you are not supposed to remove delete tags if you contest the deletion but instead place a {{hangon}} tag on top of it.

Another thing is that you haven't read the article. Plase read both Kupari and East Indians (ethnic group) thoroughly. I will post the same reply on the articles talk page. --Deepak D'Souza (talk • contribs) 13:25, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Rajat Tokas

You removed the db tag from article Rajat Tokas. Please note that speedy deletion tags shouldn't be removed outright, you should use {{hangon}} instead of removing them, and subsequently discussing the issue on the article talk page. In this case, the television series doesn't have an article of its own, hence my questioning his notability. You could place your arguments to keep the article on the article talk page.

Copyvio plant articles

I have been trying to salvage some copyvio plant articles (which I think you originally tagged) by removing the copyvio part of each and leaving a stub with only the bare facts of its classification. If you check Category:Candidates for speedy deletion, you will find a number of plant articles that need to be fixed in this way, either by removing everything that is a copyvio or replacing the copyvio text with rewritten text. If you have the time, could you try to fix them? --Eastmain 07:05, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

I did tag them all originally. See User talk:OMGrace for a full list as well. That one editor had created so many at once and I had to go back and remove all of the copyvio text from the existing articles they had added that it seemed much easier to start over from scratch on those articles. Some of them even have incorrect information in the taxobox (a copy and paste from another article). I've been going through after each one you've corrected and fixed the style issues. What a big job this is! Well, I suppose I should get at it. Cheers, --Rkitko (talk) 07:16, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

National Life Finance Corporation

Yes, I concur. It was that the author made two similar articles, one is National Life Financial Corporation. So it looks to me like a spam, but it's okay now. — Indon (reply) — 16:16, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Re: Non-free media rationale

If the purpose of an image is only, as you say, to "illustrate", then it clearly does not meet our standards for use of non-free content. The image must be used in identification and critical commentary, and I am not going to go clean up thousands of articles to make sure that they discuss something about the image. Illustration is a synonym for decoration when the article does not make any critical reference to the image. Thus, your example of a company logo is often not permitted under our policies. This is why it is important that someone who actually knows the image's use in its respective article(s) write the rationale. (ESkog)(Talk) 19:39, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

More importantly, the blanket cut-and-paste job you are doing on the logos of TV stations is not sufficient, and will (or should) be challenged as an improper justification for fair use. In specific instances, such as discussing the history of the logo, it may be necessary, but putting a picture in the article just to have one there is not justified under the policy. (ESkog)(Talk) 19:42, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

I have opened a discussion here to get feedback from more administrators to either confirm that I am right or to correct my statements here. You are welcome to join in the discussion. (ESkog)(Talk) 19:56, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Image:Johnbracken.jpg

I wanted to respond to your tag on Image:Johnbracken.jpg. John Bracken died many years ago. I do not understand how a free image of him could be obtained. --Eastmain 23:10, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Indeed. Unfree images of dead people are usually considered not-easily replaceable. I removed the tag. --Abu badali (talk) 23:26, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Daughters of Enid Blyton

Eastmain, I see you have done some cleanup to both articles with the addition of publications. You should assert this as a comment on the AfD pages. This way, future input from editors will have the opportunity to take your rationale into consideration. the_undertow talk 04:29, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep and expand he was the police chief of Canada's largest city and on the Liquor Control Board of Ontario, one of the largest liquor retail operations in the world. Here is just a few of the 160 articles in the Toronto Star's database going back to 1985 (if someone is really ambitious they can go to a reference library and see articles from the 1970s and early 80s that pertain to him):
Why the liquor board's slicker at 60. Pat McNenly Toronto Star; Toronto Star; May 29, 1987; pg. A.20;
Quiet revolution going on at LCBO headquarters. Tony Aspler; Toronto Star; Jan 17, 1987; pg. F.6;
Undercover Jack gets a roasting Retiring police chief Marks called 'true local hero'. Walter Stefaniuk Toronto Star; Toronto Star; Aug 15, 1989; pg. A.2;
Former chief Jack Ackroyd dead at 67. Toronto Star; Sep 30, 1992; pg. A.1;
These are just examples of s simple search. He is very notable, if his death is noted on the front page of the largest circulating newspaper in Canada, the article just needs someone to fill in the details. I'm too busy doing my own projects. Jack Ackroyd is KEEPER IMHO. Abebenjoe 18:48, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Timeline AfD

You recently commented on Timeline for the 2007 Labour Party (UK) Leadership and Deputy Leadership Races and new Prime Minister. Because the UK does not have the fixed four-year elections cycle that the United States does, the date of elections is chosen by the prime minister rather than set by law. Similarly, since there are no primaries in the U.S. sense, a party leadership races doesn't have a fixed schedule until a current leader announces his resignation. I think that the timeline article is probably useful, and I would encourage you to read a bit more about British politics and to consider withdrawing your AfD nomination for the article. --Eastmain 23:14, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Is their a reason the article is written as a list? Information like this should be written in paragraph form. Yes, I believe the article is useful, but not in its current form. For example, under the April 2007 header, it states:
Following an article in The Observer newspaper, in which he says he will vote for Gordon Brown in any leadership election, David Milliband tells the BBC he "never came close" to standing himself, I don't know how this is informative to the reader. If I decide to remove it, I think the template {{Wikify}} or {{rewrite}} would need to be added to it. Thanks! TTalk to me 23:21, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

J. R. Williams

OK, I'll remove the prod, thanks for the help. I think probably the other tags should remain though, as the article really does need to get cleaned up.

I only prodded this because someone tried to AfD it, but ended up simply adding text to one of my AfDs. It helped get someone to look at it, so great. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 05:38, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Just so you know, I've tried to clean up the article a bit - I'm not going to go looking for references, but I did tone down the self-promotion a bit and get rid of some of the stronger violations of WP:LIVING. The article creator is still around, so I'd rather they do the work to clean up the article themselves. I gave them a long list of WP criteria to read, so hopefully they try to either make the article better, or realize that Wikipedia deletes Selfcruft. I won't AfD it. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 14:25, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

OK, he's supposedly tried improving things. Hasn't done much to improve it, though. I think I improved it more with my mighty delete key. And now he's taken to writing references from a supposed professor and a supposed personal assistant. At this point, I think perhaps I should AfD the article as Selfcruft. Could you give me your opinion? AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 01:55, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Greetings! Thanks for adding that fair-use rationale to Image:Nashvilleseal.png. I was fairly dispairing as I could not locate where I originally got the seal from, and could not turn up an identical image with Google. Was rather afraid I would have to contact the city itself to resolve that. Again, thanks, and cheers! -- Huntster T • @ • C 21:13, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Re: Please slow down

No one person has to "keep up" with me - each individual uploader has a whole week to formulate the fair-use rationale required. I don't think I've ever been asked to go more slowly in cleaning up the encyclopedia before... (ESkog)(Talk) 17:44, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Improper fair-use rationales

Please don't add fair-use rationales unless they describe the way in which the image is the subject of critical commentary. Specifically, your phrasing of "This image enhances the article in which it's displayed, as it provides an immediate relevance to the reader more capably than the textual description alone" does not describe any actual use, and generic commentary such as that does not serve to explain the fair use of an image. (ESkog)(Talk) 18:21, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. I don't know how many other ways to explain to you that you are not following the policy correctly, and are disrupting Wikipedia through the addition of incomplete rationales. Is there something I can help you understand more clearly? (ESkog)(Talk) 18:40, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Re: Missing fair use rationales

I do add rationales when I feel I can. If you feel comfortable adding a rationale to an image that I did not feel comfortable rationalizing, go for it. Adding pseudo-rationales (that don't meet the criteria of the Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria policy, you are adding significant work for many people without significant gain.

There are no fair use images being deleted through this process which cannot be re-uploaded or undeleted if it is determined later that they are needed to illustrate their subject. ~ BigrTex 19:00, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Image:Bivouac.jpg

Image:Bivouac.jpg is not the image located at http://www.amazon.com/Bivouac-Jawbreaker/dp/B000001BEP. Did you consider uploading the image from Amazon so that we could have an image for which we knew the source instead of lying about where someone else got the image from?

I appreciate that you are working very hard to 'save' these images from deletion. I don't understand why these images are so important to you. As you said, these album covers are easily replaced from Amazon or any of a dozen websites online who don't hold the original copyright. Why is it so important that we keep the ones that someone uploaded who didn't take the time to provide the required information? ~ BigrTex 23:28, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for clarifying. You're right, it is the same image. I apologize for accusing you of lying.
Thank you for the effort you are putting in on the images. I just want to make sure that the effort you are putting in is being put to good use.
I can't tell a good rationale from a bad one, nor can most people - ESkog seems to be about the only one I've seen with a firm grasp on that. I would like to advise you to work with him to determine where to best put your efforts (album images on the album articles - as opposed to artist and discography articles; and logos are probably good) and to fine-tune your rationales as needed so that they will pass muster.
Finally, I want to make sure that you understand that these images aren't really going anywhere. I didn't understand that until I got my WP:MOP a couple of weeks ago. An admin can bring back any of these fair use images that are being deleted, they are still there, they just aren't visible. We are going through a strong push now because the new WP:CSD for rationales came out recently and because a couple of users have been using assistance programs to review fair use images. I expect the number of {{no rationale}} tags to go down soon. If you can bookmark images that you think should be saved, then as things cool off you can create the rationales for them and go through deletion review. Since the images are being deleted for not having rationale, providing a rationale should be enough to create consensus for undeletion.
Again, I apologize for how I behaved earlier. ~ BigrTex 03:19, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority Police

I have deleted the article again because it makes no claims about notability. Wikipedia is NOT a directory and not every police department is notable. The sources listed in the article prove that the department it exists (which was not in doubt; surely every airport has a police force) but say nothing about the department's notability. Please do not recreate the article again without substantial sourcing as to why wikipedia needs an article about this police force. —Ocatecir Talk 07:15, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Music by Cavelight

Bleeding For China!

A "{{prod}}" template has been added to the article Bleeding For China!, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but yours may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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. -- MisterHand 22:51, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

fair use rationale is redundant

thanks for the examples on "rationale". i will not include them. from all the examples you sent me they are a mere repost of what the licensing already states as the reason's for fair-use and so it is absurd to add this extra bureaucratic piece of info. if some one else wants to go on this trip, be my guest. i think it's useless and it's wikipedia's loss if the pictures are deleted. if there is any obscure reason why you'd want them twice and separated, run a bot that adds all these fair-use tags according to what is covered by the licensing bit. --JoaoCastro 15:24, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Non-free content

I see you doing a lot of work providing rationale for non-free content, which I think is a great thing. I was wondering if you could look at the Led Zeppelin page history? You will find a number of images that I took down because they had no fair use rationale. I kind of hate to do that. Since you seem to understand how to provide rationale for fair use, I was wondering if you could look over those images? Thanks in advance. —Gaff ταλκ 05:53, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

  • I think the rule is that images from concert films can be used to illustrate the article about the DVD, but not the article about the band itself. Album covers can probably be used in the article about the band, but there is disagreement about this as well, since some editors feel that album covers should only be used in articles about a specific album. In short, I don't think the concert images are fair use in the context of the article about the band itself, and I would say that you acted correctly in removing them. There is a public domain image of Jimmy Page Image:Jimmy Page b&w.jpg that appears in the Jimmy Page article. As it is public domain, it can be used anywhere in Wikipedia, so you may want to add it to the Led Zeppelin article. --Eastmain 06:09, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Please restore Constant Star

Please consider restoring the article Constant Star. Some of the following references seem to establish notability for Constant Star:

If you agree that these references establish notability, could you please restore the article and add these references to it? I didn't see the original article before it was deleted, so I don't know if any of these references were cited in the earlier version. --Eastmain 05:34, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi Eastmain, how are you?
For now I've redirected to page to Ida B. Wells, as the content in Constant Star was no more than the relevant section in Ida B. Well's page- an extra page for it is not needed. However, as the play becomes more well known, and perhaps more information and sources are given about it, in the future it could be a different case.

  • You may be correct. Perhaps there are too many images on that page. I would encourage you to begin a discussion on the article's talk page and let the editors who added these images know that you have done so. Perhaps there will be a consensus to remove some of the images, but I would be reluctant to delete images without having had a discussion on the talk page. --Eastmain 04:42, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi. No mistake, I don't think. Look at this editor's other uploads (and history of uploading). I've left the very few images that I feel he might just possibly have taken himself.

Norman Bettison

I say this in accordance to the message I received from you about the article Norman Bettison. In your message, you infomred me that you believed that Bettison was a notable man in the police force and that you'd found several paper articles about him. As of now, the article appears to be of useful material to Wikipedia. If you look at the article's History, you'll see that this was not always true. When I tagged the article, it was only two lines of confusing words put together. At that time, the article seemed nothing but a bio of this Norman Bettison. If the article were to provide information showing why Bettison was/is so relevant, the article would be useful for Wikipedia. TheInfinityZero 01:06, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

June 2007

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Neotone Records, to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. You really should read the notability guidelines. Your article discusses a company without explaining why it is notable enough to be in an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is not a directory, and it's important that, if the company is notable, the article explains why that is the case. Coren 00:50, 18 June 2007 (UTC) Coren 00:50, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Neotone Records

I really don't see how this goes anywhere WP:CORP. The "references" do not qualify as reliable sources, and are little more than announcements and a critique. I don't understand how that qualifies as notabiliy: press releases, announcements and trivial coverage being specifically excluded from the guidelines.

Besides, the article itself doesn't even try to make a claim to notability. Coren 01:00, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

You know, it's actually very simple: ask yourself "why is this particular label notable amongst the gazillion other small labels?" Answer that question in the article and, preferably, source and reference that claim. As far as I can tell, they have no major artists signed up, they are relatively small and new and they are not well known even in the industry. How does that make them notable?

Image Deletion

The Oaks Mall, Florida

Where does the mere existence of a mall, as indicated by a non-referenced size, no longer immediately assume notability? 900,000 square feet? 500,000? 2? Corvus cornix 03:51, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

You remember the Bruce Haslingden article from back in April and how it was saved. I may need your help again on another article: Thomas M. Jacobs, who also competed at the 1952 Winter Olympics in cross-country skiing and nordic combined. If the Jacobs article goes to AfD, I may need your assistance again if needed. Thanking you in advance. Chris 21:41, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your help on saving the Thomas M. Jacobs article from deletion. I really appreciate it. Chris 12:54, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Geico Logo 20070523.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Geico Logo 20070523.gif. 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).

My apologies. It is in the article. However, the quote is way too POV to include in the article. As a general rule, quotes should not be included as a part of the reference. Atrian (talk) 23:06, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I've added new comments on the discussion in the debate about this article's deletion and would like very much to hear what you have to say on the subject. To me the simply unsourced mention of a "newspaper headline" does not serve as evidence for such a serious claim as the one that article does. Regards, Rsazevedo msg 15:44, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

CSSE

Could you please take another look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/CSSE? I changed CSSE into a disambiguation page with the organizations you mentioned. They're all redlinks, but are potentially notable enough to have articles write about them. --Eastmain (talk) 01:19, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Re:Notability of politicians

According to that same page, "conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included." However with the improvements I am now happy with the page. In the future it is simpler to leave that note on the AFD and show it to everyone rather than just me on my talk page, though, as I will watch AFDs. Reywas92Talk 15:37, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Template:Geolinks-CanadaMore-cityscale requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude>).

Thanks. --MZMcBride (talk) 05:38, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm concerned by your decline reason of "Multiple credits seem to demonstrate notability". Please note that CSD A7 applies to "content that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant. This is distinct from questions of notability..." Notability and importance are distinctly different; the key in this article is that "appearing in" is quite subordinate to "starring in". ЭLСОВВОLД talk 01:44, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from pages that you have created yourself, as you did with St. Lucie West Centennial High School. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, then please place {{hangon}} on the page (please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag) and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. <3 bunny 04:45, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Anyone other than the article's creator is permitted to remove a speedy tag. See Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion, which states: "Any editor who is not the creator of a page may remove a speedy tag from it. The creator may not do this. A creator who disagrees with the speedy deletion should instead add {{hangon}} to the page, and explain the rationale on the page's discussion page." Please restore my latest version of the article. --Eastmain (talk) 04:50, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi! I don't remember editing this, unless it started out as a nanostub/vanity piece. Thanks for alerting me to it, though. BTW, I'd like to borrow your message header if you don't mind. Nice, clean and easy. Have a nice weekend! --PMDrive1061 (talk) 17:52, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Michael L. Vincent

Hello Eastmain. My first article on wikipedia seems to be up for deletion again for notability. I don't mind much, but after reading the requirements, I believe he is, and feel that this article is an relevant addition to the encyclopedia. As requested I have provided 4 newspaper articles discussing a major project he was involved in (Triaspora- he composed the first and last movements) which I think pretty well establishes his notability. Also there is also a link I found on a 3rd party opera database containing his opera. Could you please take another look at it, and voice your opinion. Many Thanks.Gregg Potts (talk) 22:55, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
