Hey, I was wondering about your "no consensus" close of the AfD for Tonga National Tag Team. By my count and including my nomination, there were two policy-based "delete" !votes, one policy-based "merge" !vote, and one not-very-policy-based "keep" !vote which argued more strongly against merging than against deletion. I understand why you didn't relist it, but faced with a choice between "delete" and "no consensus" I'd have gone for the former. Anyway, I don't really expect you to arrive at a different conclusion based on the above argument, but I thought I'd better take it up here before renominating. Thanks. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 18:52, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
- The problem is, Sipooti made a "keep" !vote that nobody responded to after two weeks, so the only possible conclusion that a neutral closer can make is that the opinion is valid, and against only three other !votes, it has to be a "no consensus." Feel free to renominate it. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 21:58, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Microsoft XBOX.svg)
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Microsoft XBOX.svg. 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 'file' 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 "File" 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. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:00, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
