Speedy deletion nomination of Calvary Christian Academy


A tag has been placed on Calvary Christian Academy, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of Calvary Christian Academy and leave a note on |the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Peridon (talk) 19:22, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Old CCA logo
How did you come to have the old athletics logo for Calvary Christian Academy given to you, since you're claiming rights to it? —C.Fred (talk) 02:15, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Given that you're now claiming it to be the current logo for jerseys, I'm now very curious as to how you have the rights to this image. —C.Fred (talk) 18:55, 12 May 2010 (UTC)


 * My previous reply to you seems to have been lost. First I would like to remind you that I am new to Wiki and I am still learning the ropes. The image in question is old, older than any of the staff currently at CCA. As an editor of the schools webpage I have permission to use the schools logo. This logo has no registered copyright of any kind on it and has been used liberally by the school as a Public Domain image with in the confines of the school. I would like to reclassify the image so that it is registered to the school in some way but I am uncertain of what code to put in the license box. I did not mean to attribute the photo to myself, but I simply wished to use the strongest copyright Wiki Commons offered so that I could protect the image from improper distribution. I hope you can understand my situation. Also I was hoping to keep this logo on the page next to the athletic information. Do you know of anyway to do this?


 * Regarding placement of the image, once the article starts to fill out and there are more sections, it will sit next to the athletics section. It's pushed down to the first available spot on the right-hand side, and as short as the article is right now, that's pretty much the bottom of the article.
 * Regarding the license status of the image, you're saying contradictory things. If it's a public domain image, then it can be distributed and used in any way possible: derivative images, commercial reuse, incorporation in parody images, etc. There is no way to regulate the downstream usage of public domain images (or, for that matter, images under Creative Commons or GFDL licenses). If it's not a free image, then it can't be uploaded to Commons. It can be uploaded to Wikipedia, as the current logo is, under a non-free, "fair use" license. That notes the image is available for limited reuse only.
 * It appears, then, that the school holds the copyright to the image. The question is, what is the school's intention for the image? Do they intend for it to be released into the public domain, do they intend to license it under the very permissive Creative Commons license, or do they intend to retain rights over it, so that it's only usable in the article under a claim of fair use?
 * One other note: at the end of your messages on talk pages, please type in  as the last item of your comment. The four tildes are automatically replaced with your signature and the time of your message. That makes it easier to follow who said each comment and when it was said. Thank you, and happy editing! —C.Fred (talk) 00:26, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

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.

Clicking that button will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted.
