Jeff stinson

The article Jeff stinson has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did 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. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -- Gogo Dodo 04:49, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re your message: Looking for the previously deleted revision of the article, I recommend that you do not recreate the article. Since he is only considering becoming a candidate, it is unlikely that he meets the criteria for notability for politicians for inclusion on Wikipedia. Generally, a politician must either hold an office or have significant press coverage to have an article. I recommend that you read over the notability guideline. There is a specific section on politicians there. -- Gogo Dodo 05:02, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re your message: No, probably not. Dan Branch, if you mean the Representative to the Texas House of Representatives, would be notable, but being his political advisor is not likely to meet the guideline for notability. -- Gogo Dodo 05:20, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Jstinson.PNG

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Jstinson.PNG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Kkmurray 04:59, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jeff

The point about Jeff is that he is what we call "not yet notable"; until such time as there is a substantial amount of media coverage of him, any attempts to create a page about him will come off as astroturfing. The fact that the first version of the page was created by username "Stinse" is not a good sign, for instance. DS 14:05, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Jstinson.PNG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Jstinson.PNG. 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. BetacommandBot 02:27, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
