Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Dottie Dartland Zicklin 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, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, 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.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

August 2015

Hello, I'm 2601:188:0:ABE6:5D65:637D:D70A:E45F. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Geeks & Greeks because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. 2601:188:0:ABE6:5D65:637D:D70A:E45F (talk) 19:02, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This includes the editing you've done on the biography, as well, which merits overview from objective editors. If WP:COI is relevant, it's important to divulge an association with the subjects. Thank you, 2601:188:0:ABE6:5D65:637D:D70A:E45F (talk) 19:02, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Geeks & Greeks

The article Geeks & Greeks has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Little evidence of notability, other than having raised a lot of money on Kickstarter. Few objective reliable sources supporting the significance of this, pre-publication. WP:COI concerns, as well.

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. 2601:188:0:ABE6:5D65:637D:D70A:E45F (talk) 23:09, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I just wanted to clarify it was just the blanking of the page I was referring too. Don't let the notability tag get you down. RingofSauron (talk) 23:58, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Us weekly fashion police.png

Thank you for uploading File:Us weekly fashion police.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Cirt (talk) 01:00, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
