Church of Saint Joseph

I noticed in your contributions that you had recently created the article Church of Saint Joseph, and I am curious if you went to the school. I went there for nine years and graduated in 2005. Also just to let you know I also recently created a Saint Joe's article about the school. Maybe we should combine the two articles. Well, I'll be glad to hear from you, just leave a message on my talk page. --Smarterthanu91 23:37, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect of Duane Lee Chapman, II

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Duane Lee Chapman, II, by Closedmouth (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Duane Lee Chapman, II is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Duane Lee Chapman, II, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 02:44, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wayne Hattaway

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Wayne Hattaway, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article 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. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. Hammer1980·^talk 19:34, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. The page you would want to use is WP:AIV, not the abuse report. I have given him a final warning and reverted one vandalism. Watch the user contribs and if theres another vandalism, then report to AIV. Ğavin Ťing 15:17, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:PBL Logo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:PBL Logo.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 17:09, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Notability of Bachman's

A tag has been placed on Bachman's requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), 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 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. Accounting4Taste:talk 18:07, 13 August 2008 (UTC) I wanted to explain that I nominated this article because it didn't seem to contain or assert any notability for the company itself, per se, and because it seemed to be a coatrack for material about the death of the company's principal. This, although sad and regrettable, doesn't seem to confer sufficient personal notablity to the individual to bolster an article about him. I welcome your comments, if any.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Cousins Subs Logo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Cousins Subs Logo.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).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 06:03, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of St. John the Baptist (New Brighton, MN)

The article St. John the Baptist (New Brighton, MN) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Article makes no claim of notability for this church, and the consensus on elementary schools is that they need a special claim of notability.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Gnosbush! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to this article, it would greatly help us with the current 339 article backlog.

Proposed deletion of Jeff Juday

The article Jeff Juday has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Completely unsourced actor BLP article, and has been since article's creation in 2006. A quick look at the IMDb entry shows only "bit" parts, so subject is a complete WP:NACTOR fail. In short, no notability demonstrated, and subject doesn't merit an encyclopedia entry.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 17:19, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
