A tag has been placed on [[:DJ Icey]] requesting that it be [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedily deleted]] from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:Notability|see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable]]. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the [[WP:Your first article|guide to writing your first article]]. |
|||
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to the top of the article ('''just below''' the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on '''[[Talk:DJ Icey|the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines. |
|||
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria [[Wikipedia:Notability (people)|for biographies]], [[WP:WEB|for web sites]], [[WP:BAND|for bands]], or [[WP:CORP|for companies]]. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.<!-- Template:Nn-warn --> [[User:Panoptical|Panoptical]] ([[User talk:Panoptical|talk]]) 05:02, 4 November 2009 (UTC) |
Revision as of 05:02, 4 November 2009
Ninja Strike Force
I see from your user page that you don't much care for VfD. But, given the changes you've made to Ninja Strike Force, it would be a shame for that article to go away. --Myles Long 16:16, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- In response to your comments, I completely agree. I am just now becoming acquainted with VfD, and I find it to be a biased process, as you have pointed out. Your Schoolwatch programme is pretty interesting; I'll definitely have to keep it on my radar. I completely agree that most schools deserve an article...I see that what "WP:NOT" is often cited in the VfD debates. These people seem pretty sure about what Wikipedia is not, but they often seem to forget what Wikipedia is: a community project. Also, those who cite it seem to forget the first point on that page, "WP:NOT paper". Since it's not paper, it can afford to be (and should definitely be) more inclusionary than a paper encyclopedia. Sorry this reply is disjointed.
- In the interest of this project, we should organically expand and invest, not suppress. Where do we go next? I completely agree. We should expand articles. If we find a sub-par article that could have merit, why delete it? Why not add to it? Or at least request that it be added to by a more knowledgeable person?
- With regard to Ninja Strike Force, could you please vote to keep it? There's a lack of a consensus at this point, but "delete" seems to have a plurality. Is that enough to make it be deleted? Who knows? What constitutes a "win" in VfD seems to be debatable. --Myles Long 18:41, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Just so you know, GRider is prohibited to edit VfD pages and just returned from 2-week ban for violating that. Sad, but true. I accidentally had this page on watchlist and noticed that little discussion. Well, at least NSF has one more keep vote :) Grue 19:10, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Ahh, I didn't know that. Thanks for the info. It seems unfair to keep someone from participating in VfD just because s/he doesn't like it and/or always votes "Keep," but whatever, there's probably more to it than that. None of my business. --Myles Long 20:21, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- There is exist a small group of people with small penis syndrome that get theirkicks from voting delete on most everything that moves onto VfD. You just have to get used to it. The most important thing is make sure the first vote is a keep, because alot of this is herd mentality kind of thing. They see one person in their circle of trust vote delete, and they vote delete as well. C'est la vie. I might add that alot of these people have a real hard-on for GRider since before the ArbCom proceding he liked to show the absurdity of VfD, in a Dadaist manner. Klonimus 08:00, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

High Schools
This Newsweek article on The 100 Best High Schools in America is certainly food for thought in the frequent debates over the notability of high schools... certainly every one on that list should have its own article! -- BD2412 thimk 01:07, 2005 May 9 (UTC)
- P.S. - the article actually ranks over 1040 schools (although the numbers only go up to 1036, because of a many-way tie at the end). -- BD2412 thimk 01:18, 2005 May 9 (UTC)
Actres Stacy Armstrong
Hi, I'm writing because I saw that you had voted to keep an article on indpendent film actress Diane Mela. A similar article about actress Stacy Armstrong was voted on back in Feb. 2005. Well, the whole deletion is in question because the vote should have been judged no concensus. But it was deleted anyway!
So it is now being rejudged and thought you might be interested in voting on it Stacy Armstrong debate
Just thought you might like to know! Plank 18:06, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
Since you help school articles and you are involved in Schoolwatch, I thought you might want to see this comment I left on an article talk page. There has been a lot of vandalism done to a school's article and I don't know what to do. Any help you can give is excellent! Thanks. — MATHWIZ2020 TALK | CONTRIBS 23:18, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Bob Fisher, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Bob Fisher. You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

Category:Tom Green
Hi there. I noticed you had created a Category page for Tom Green, in addition to his article. I didn't think categories were supposed to be used in this way, especially when the article on Green is so detailed. I've placed a tag asking whether this should be deleted. What do you think? Thanks, Shawn in Montreal 21:42, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
Orphaned fair use image (Image:Chili finger.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Chili finger.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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).
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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Non-free use disputed for Image:Supagroup.jpg
![]() |
This file may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading Image:Supagroup.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:48, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Anna_Ayala.jpg
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/70px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Anna_Ayala.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
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 '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 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. ShakespeareFan00 21:39, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Charles in Charge title screen.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Charles in Charge title screen.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image 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 image 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 '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.

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.
Thank you.
A tag has been placed on DJ Icey requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Panoptical (talk) 05:02, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
