File permission problem with File:Nohomers.png

Thanks for uploading File:Nohomers.png, which you've sourced to http://www.nohomers.net. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 00:46, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of The No Homers Club

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on The No Homers Club, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here.

It appears from your username that you appear to be the owner of the site. This means you should probably stay away from editing the page, as you may have a conflict of interest. The site looks nice, but it does not appear to be notable. I suggest creating a draft in your userspace before moving it to main.

"No Homers" under any title

Hey Eric. Per the tagging noted in the message you received directly above, I saw you recreated nohomers.net, which was recently deleted after an Articles for Deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/NoHomers.net (2nd nomination), at the new title The No Homers Club. The issue is that once consensus has been reached to delete a page after discussion, it cannot be recreated with the same or similar content that does not address the deletion basis.

In practice here, this means that any page on the same topic (by any title) would have to show notability by citation to reliable, secondary sources entirely unconnected to the topic that substantively discuss it. I saw that you had spent a good deal of time doing tasks such as adding links to the page in others articles, creating redirects and uploading images, and I wanted to alert you to these issues because it's a shame when anyone's precious time is spent on matters that have little chance of not being undone.

This does not mean that Wikipedia can't ever have an article on Nohomers.net/The No Homers Club, but it does mean that simply recreating the article without citation to the necessary sources to address the deletion is not going to work, and because it appears people looked for sources that would meet notability requirements and came up short, it's likely that no article on this topic will be possible at least right now.

Hey again Eric. I've left you a message on my talk page in much more detail. Please see there, but in short, I've userfied the content to User:Ericwirtanen/The No Homers Club where you can work on it.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 16:48, 30 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
