An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Alya Nuri. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alya Nuri. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:09, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- I re-created the stub at User:Viralthoughts/Sandbox. Please note that Fox News and YouTube are not reliable sources. Bearian (talk) 20:40, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:Series.gif
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Series.gif. 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 06:40, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi there. Read the content guideline as noted above. For hints, please note:
- "Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published sources, making sure that all majority and significant-minority views that have appeared in reliable, published sources are covered." That means they should be neutral or present all points of view. A source that makes only one POV, even if laudatory, is not reliable.
- "Material from mainstream news organizations is welcomed, particularly the high-quality end of the market." The New York Times, a local daily newspaper, or a PBS news show are mainstream, reliable and high-quality news sources. Weekly newsjournals, IMdB, Fox news, YouTube, MySpace, and personal websites may be used to augment such, but are not reliable, may be biased, and are not high quality. Please note that "self-published media—whether books, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, blogs, personal pages on social networking sites, Internet forum postings, or tweets—are largely not acceptable."
- Please also read Wikipedia:Existence ≠ Notability. If her book has won an award or has been reviewed, then you could use those. It is possible that, although this girl is very nice and has written a nice book, she might not be notable yet. Bearian (talk) 22:35, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Myflower.png
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Myflower.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 05:18, 19 January 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 05:18, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of File:Myflower2.png
[edit]
A tag has been placed on File:Myflower2.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.
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), 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. ww2censor (talk) 05:27, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Sourcing for Alya Nuri
[edit]Hi, sadly, there is still not a single verifiable source in the article. Please read over WP:V, WP:BLP, and WP:RS again. Every single statement in a "BLP" (biography of a living person) needs to be sourced with at least one reliable source, and the more controversial or for those relating to children, more and/or better sources need to be used. You can not use Youtube, a Fox news broadcast, local news, Wikipedia, primary sources, self-produced web pages, and the like as the only sources. The local news source is a dead link, and even if used, does not prove national notability. If you re-created it right now, it would likely be speedily deleted without debate. At this time, if you can't find anything else on this girl, then she is, therefore, just not yet notable according to our basic standards. These are fairly strict for all articles, unless you can prove inherent notability, such as for a populated place, a high school, a band that has toured or charted nationally, or an elected state or national politician, who are automatically considered notable. Wikipedia is not designed to list every important person. You may have to wait a while. Keep looking and get back to me. Bearian (talk) 15:15, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
