User talk:Dirtydog

Hello! I'm glad you are interested in contributing to Wikipedia. We welcome new articles about subjects of encyclopedic significance. The article you created, Greg Ashton, appears to be primarily about yourself, people you know, or your own ideas. As such it has been marked for deletion. If I've misunderstood the article, please go to the article and follow the instructions in the banner to respond. For a quick overview of Wikipedia's policies, see the five pillars of Wikipedia. You can still create other articles about encyclopedic subjects. If you can't think of a subject, you can check the recent requests or improve an existing article. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 22:16, 18 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Do not modify deletion tags on articles. Follow the instructions to discuss the deletion. As your article is now AfD listed, you can discuss why it should not be deleted here. Consider putting the article on your user page instead. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 22:33, 18 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I see that you removed the template requesting deletion of Greg Ashton. I have applied another template requesting deletion, and have also suggested that perhaps you might like to move the text of the article to your user page, so that it may be retained in some form. You may not wish to, of course. Please be advised that as the article currently stands, it does not meet Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. Consumed Crustacean suggests some relevant links re this above.

While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, a non-profit website, this is in fact not the case. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions on them, because content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial.

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license GFDL-self-no-disclaimers to license it under the GFDL, or cc-by-sa-2.5 to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use PD-self to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file.

License tagging for Image:Wikipedia Insert 070412.pdf
Thanks for uploading Image:Wikipedia Insert 070412.pdf. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 19:14, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Bill Ashton (cartoonist)


The article Bill Ashton (cartoonist) has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Tried my best to find sources, all I can find is a book called 'https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Companion_to_South_African_Cartoonists/bscYAAAAYAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=%22Bill%20Ashton%22%20%22cartoon%22&kptab=getbook' that is unaccessible by me. Not sure if this article meet the notability guideline."

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.
