Speedy deletion of Michael messenger

A tag has been placed on Michael messenger requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Speedy deletion of Michael Messenger

A tag has been placed on Michael Messenger requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Avliotes. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. NeilN ^{talk to me} 05:32, 26 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Neil. If by promotional you mean descriptions of the area and what's on offer then you're comment applies to almost every page - it strikes em you've got your own personal soapbox. Yeh, just checked your profile...

File source problem with File:Image of Victoria Nixon.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Image of Victoria Nixon.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Cirt (talk) 18:21, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion discussion at Commons

Please note Commons:Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard/User_problems#Paulwest_and_Victoria_uploads Andy Dingley (talk) 19:59, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not a "deletion discussion". — Cirt (talk) 22:41, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Of course it's a deletion discussion, you just didn't have the decency to put it in the right place or to notify the editor involved. Andy Dingley (talk) 23:16, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong. Editor was notified multiple times on their user talk page at the relevant other website about the inappropriate copyvio. All the copyvio images were then deleted as copyvio by another admin. — Cirt (talk) 02:00, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
