I couldn't find any listing of these templates at WP:TFD but they are needed for {{10^}} and {{convert}} to work properly. I hope you reconsider your nomination but if not please list them on WP:TFD. Thanks. JЇѦρ 02:52, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I've found the listings. I'm assuming that you have withdrawn the nominations. I'll be untagging the subtemplates. JЇѦρ 07:19, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of PointyRemote

[edit]

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article PointyRemote, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Tiggerjay (talk) 20:41, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can you provide a reason why you removed the PROD template from this article. The changes you made while removing the template do not appear to make the article more notable. Tiggerjay (talk) 05:59, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:PR-screenshot.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:PR-screenshot.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. 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. Polly (Parrot) 23:08, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Good Liar Barnstar has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page. Thank you. — Eustress (talk) 02:11, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help in this process. There is a bona fide barnstar that may be kind of what you're looking for that fits within Wikipedia guidelines—check out Wikipedia:Other_awards#The Outlaw Halo Award. Best --Eustress (talk) 03:03, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
