Gaze
I must report that the GRATEFUL DEAD: The motif of a cycle of folk tales which begin with the hero coming upon a group of people ill-treating or refusing to bury the corpse of a man who had died without paying his debts. He gives his last penny, either to pay the man's debts or to give him a decent burial. Within a few hours he meets with a travelling companion who aids him in some impossible task, gets him a fortune or saves his life. The story ends with the companion disclosing himself as the man whose corpse the hero had befriended.(Funk & Wagnall's Dictionary).......is also a band. The Gaze is a band too, but they're not as good as the grateful dead? They don't deserve mention? Is this a homophobic thing? Bergys (talk) 17:05, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, the issue is that you put the mention of the band in the wrong place. That's why Grateful dead (folklore) and The Grateful Dead are on separate pages. You don't just lump together two different topics that just happen to share the same name on the same page. Now, the answer to whether Gaze (the band) can have a separate page all to itself is complicated. Read through Wikipedia's notability policy for bands. Basically, you have to show that the band has been covered by several news articles, music reviews, books, or magazines, or that they have been very successful in sales, or that they have won major awards. If you believe that Gaze (the band) meets at least one of the twelve criteria listed in the notability policy, then you can create a separate article on them. Altamel (talk) 17:15, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Stroughbury Island, 2016.png
Thanks for uploading File:Stroughbury Island, 2016.png, which you've attributed to Google maps. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or

You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:This is a satellite image of Stroughbury Island, lake michigan.png


A tag has been placed on File:This is a satellite image of Stroughbury Island, lake michigan.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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "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. Stefan2 (talk) 09:48, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Stroughbury Island


The article Stroughbury Island has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Only one source is cited, and the island is not mentioned there. Search did not find anything that looked reliable."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing 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.
