File permission problem with File:Layout of Ivy Advise course dashboard.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Layout of Ivy Advise course dashboard.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for 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-en@wikimedia.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-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:YesReneau

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 Draft:YesReneau, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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 "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 deleted 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, then please contact the deleting administrator. DGG ( talk ) 05:31, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for message. I deleted your article because

• it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, as defined in the link, or they will be deleted. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the subject, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the she claims or interviewing her. Much of your text was unreferenced and two of the refs you did give were interviews with her. I couldn't access the other two, one didn't respond and the other gave a security warning, but from their titles they also appeared to be connected to her rather than independent third-party sources. I don't know if you saw these AFC comments

• Comment: Please provide WP:THREE sources up front to show notability for this YouTuber. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:16, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

• Comment: Still lacking in wide-spread media coverage, current sources point mostly to the works of the subject as opposed to dependable media outlets discussing the subject. Additionally interviews don't help denote notability as their content is from the subject not about the subject. Drewmutt (^ᴥ^) talk 02:32, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

• it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced or self-sourced claims presented as fact include: By engaging with over seven hours of video content presented by the Harvard alumna along with supplemental written materials, enrollees develop a clear plan for how to become students of most selective universities, but the whole thing is to promote her and her site
• If you have a conflict of interest when editing this article, you must declare it. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that she is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Wikipedia:Requested articles for the article to be created. See also guidance for editors with conflicts of interest and writing about yourself.
• If you work directly or indirectly for her or an affiliated organisation, or otherwise are acting on her behalf, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. If you are paid directly or indirectly by the organisation you are writing about, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:L8 ManeValidus. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=L8 ManeValidus|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, orit will not survive. Also check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. You must also reply to the COI request above

Jimfbleak - talk to me? 05:43, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for the feedback.

Regarding COI: I have no memory of taking a penny for it and wouldn't accept a payment for a Wikipedia edit unless something convinced me to fundamentally rewrite my value system. Have tried hard in writing the article to maintain a NPOV, but if you made me choose one person of all humanity to commemorate for whatever comes next it would be her (then Marvin Minsky). Does that make a COI? I'll make request at Wikipedia:Requested articles as advised then.

Regarding sourcing: Still finding it hard to agree that the two sources and a recently added third don't constitute notability considering many published biographies of living people on Wikipedia are being sourced from the same article outlets as sources I found. Some of the biographies are even dangling out there with one reference. (Raised this issue already here Taylor Reneau AfD although I’m glad to notice that it seems to have gotten much better since then.)
