AfD nomination of Elizabeth Blackwell (disambiguation)

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Elizabeth Blackwell (disambiguation). We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Elizabeth Blackwell (disambiguation). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:17, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:Making Money Promo Notes.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Making Money Promo Notes.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 12:19, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Gclubemblem.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Gclubemblem.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:17, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: German Club, Port Elizabeth (November 4)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Drmies was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Not like this: the sourcing just isn't there. Also, the lead needs to be rewritten, and the topic needs to be defined. "There were a number of German Clubs (Liedertafel) in Southern Africa..." might be a way to do it, because it is highly unlikely that one single iteration of the cultural phenomenon is notable. And here is another one, in Namibia--so perhaps there is a topic there, but this is not yet it. Again, sourcing is key: Google Books can help.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

Thank you for reviewing my draft article. With regards to your comment on notability - there are other wikipedia articles about single german clubs such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Club,_Sydney and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Club,_Adelaide and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonie_German_Club and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German-American_Club_of_Tampa. All of these clubs follow a similar history to the german club port elizabeth with the exception that the German club PE was re-established and remains in existence. The early club was historically significant (as the oldest german club in south africa) and was mentioned in the encyclopedia britannica 1911. I'm happy to redraft it and add in more references if that would help. I think an overaching article about all the german clubs in south africa is possible (as all the info is in my main reference Hellberg 1954 PhD thesis) but this will be much longer and less focussed.
