Speedy deletion of PalmerSport
[edit]A tag has been placed on PalmerSport, 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 blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
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 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

Palmer Sport
[edit]I'd suggest creating the article in userspace first, in User:Stremayne/sandbox, then moving it to article space when you're satisfied. Keep the requirements of WP:CORP in mind: i.e., be sure to assert and back up the organization's notability, using independent references in third-party media. Acroterion (talk) 17:45, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
- It's better, but the lead paragraph reads more like a press release than an encyclopedia article. You should avoid using subjective words like "best", and "largest" should be used only when it really is the largest, not one of the larger ones, and it should be backed up with a reference. You should study WP:CORP for the requirements for corporate notability, as the article asserts but does not really substantiate notability. I'll have a try at rewriting the article in your userspace in the next couple of days, with your permission. Acroterion (talk) 12:33, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
- I've edited it down a little bit: it's generally a good idea to keep the superlative adjectives to a minimum. It appears to me to be notable because of its association with Palmer and his organization, but it would be nice to find a couple of additional references in more mainstream media. Surely some member of the general press has participated there and written an article? Acroterion (talk) 12:34, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
Image copyright problem with File:Formula Palmer Audi 2008 logo.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Formula Palmer Audi 2008 logo.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check
- That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
- That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Orphaned non-free media (File:MSV logo.JPEG)
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:MSV logo.JPEG. 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) 05:12, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

File:British Superbike Championship Logo.png needs authorship information.
[edit]The media file you uploaded as File:British Superbike Championship Logo.png appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source), or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image.
It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.
Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided),authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).
- If you created this media yourself, please consider explicitly including your user name, for which:{{subst:usernameexpand|Stremayne}} will produce an appropriate expansion,
or use the {{own}} template.
- If this is an old image, for which the authorship is unknown or impossible to determine, please indicate this on the file description page.
