Greatest ODI player

In your edit for Sachin Tendulkar you have have written that "he is the greatest ODI player" and given a citation of Wikipedia entry on ODI Records. The citation does not mention that Sachin Tendulkar is the greatest player. Meanwhile, the article on Viv Richards quotes him as the greatest with a proper citation. Please ref to the talk page on Sachin Tendulkar for the details and a discussion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajrishi1985 (talk • contribs) 16:37, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

November 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:09, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

While it's great that you rewrote the content at M N Karassery, article creators are forbidden to remove these templates. An administrator must evaluate them to determine, particularly when copyright matters are involved. In the future, please do not remove these templates yourself. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:11, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Makkada

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

This says explicitly it's not a village but three buildings; not enough of a geographic feature to be notable

While all 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 {{dated prod}} 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 {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Gopaalan! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 1,098 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

1. M N Karassery - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

File copyright problem with File:Naxal Varghese.JPG

Thank you for uploading File:Naxal Varghese.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. MaenK.A._Talk 14:53, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Kunjunnimash.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Kunjunnimash.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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Melesse (talk) 20:35, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading File:Indin registration plate.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

Speedy deletion nomination of E K Nayanar Ministry

A tag has been placed on E K Nayanar Ministry requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Talk back

Hello, Gopaalan. You have new messages at Ranjithsutari's talk page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Tomin Thachankary

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 Tomin Thachankary 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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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. --220.101 (talk) ^\Contribs 13:48, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Naxal Varghese

The article Naxal Varghese has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Article userfied

The title was protected because the article was re-created after twice being deleted after discussions at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Santhosh Pandit and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Santhosh Pandit (2nd nomination). You cannot get around the protection by using a small "p". I have "userfied" the article for you to User:Gopaalan/Santhosh Pandit where you can work on it, but if you want to put it back in the main encyclopedia you will need to convince user Reaper Eternal (talk), the admin who closed the last deletion discussion, that you have overcome the reasons for deletion. If he does not agree, you can go to WP:Deletion review. In my opinion, if his first film was released only two days ago, it is most unlikely that he meets the notability standard of WP:FILMMAKER.

Hi Gopaalan,
I have deleted an article you started, following Wikipedia's Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons policy, specifically WP:NOTPUBLICFIGURE. I ask that you email me about this.
I see you have not specified an email address for your account. There is no obligation to have an email address attached to your account. However, not having an email address attached to your account does make it difficult to address sensitive matters like this one. If you don't want to attach an email to your Wikipedia account, I will look into ways around this, just let me know on my talk page.

Proposed deletion of M. N. Karassery

The article M. N. Karassery has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Dakini (film) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Dakini (film), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
