The article Bugatti SuperVeyron has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Exploded rumour, does not merit own article

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Bugatti SuperVeyron is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bugatti SuperVeyron until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

PROD tags can be removed with an aeplanation, but once an article has been listed at AfD it has to go thru the process, so I have replaced the tag. If you want to have this article retained (as I am sure you do) you will have to put your case in the AfD discussion. Incidentally you should be aware that Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously: it looked to me as though sections of the article had been cut and pasted from the site where you found that pig-ugly illustration. (Ettore Bugatti is doubtless clocking an impressive rev count in his grave).TheLongTone (talk) 20:46, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Excuse me that illustration is not pig-ugly, it looks very good it looks futuristic and are you a wikipedia adminsitrator? Liam1274 (talk) 21:01, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Heaven forbid. I shouldn't have said that about the appearance, it's purely a matter of taste (but I do think it looks more like a transformer than a car). Btw please sign posts using four tildes (~).TheLongTone (talk) 21:04, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I will love the day Bugatti releases that. The concept is being worked but they are sure it will look like that. The problem is that the article in question houses a car that will be created, it's just that Bugatti haven't decided what to create next. Liam1274 (talk) 21:13, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well yes. The problem with the article is that as something that is very much in the future there are no really reliable sources to base an article on, just gossip.TheLongTone (talk) 21:44, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:Beinn a' Chrulaiste.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Beinn a' Chrulaiste.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 21:30, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Real Racing 3[edit]

Hi Liam, yeah, unfortunately, putting a table like that is not permitted. It's better to learn this kind of stuff now (early in your editing career) so you don't waste too much time putting content like that on other pages as well, as it will all ultimately end up being deleted, which can be very frustrating. As regards creating an article, I'm not sure. I think you might have problems with notability. To cut a long story short, that page tells you that you need a couple of reliable sources which establish the notability of a topic; i.e. proving it "deserves" a page on Wikipedia. Unfortunately the RR3 wiki wouldn't be considered a reliable source as it allows anyone to edit it. By reliable sources, we'd be talking sites like Pocket Gamer or Slide to Play, or any material published in hard copy. So what you'd need to do would be to try to find some articles in places like this that discuss or allude to the list of fully upgraded cars. If you don't, a lot of users monitor new articles pretty carefully, and there's a good chance your article would be deleted. Another option for you would be to go to WP:AFC and seek some advice on the talk page there. The people who patrol that page would be better able to advise you about a new article than I would. Hope that helps you out a bit. Give me a shout back if you want to ask anything else. Bertaut (talk) 00:13, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
