Kirven's
Hey. I've deleted your article on Kirven's Department Store, because (from how you described it), it didn't seem to meet the basic standards of notability. Kessler's is notable because it was a chain, but Kirven's was just one store (or so I gathered). If you have more information on Kirven's, feel free to re-create the article. DS 15:08, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

At one time, Kirven's had three stores. They were in Downtown Columbus, the Columbus Square Mall, and West Georgia Commons Mall in nearby LaGrange Georgia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.252.152.214 (talk) 04:51, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Rich's


This article is looking increasingly better, and just wanted to thank you for your work! I hope I can make the Goldsmith's article as good one day. — ArkansasTraveler 15:00, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Riverbend Mall
Dear GRW, Just want you to be aware: there is a lively discussion going on about a potential deletion of your article, and I think it would really benefit from your opinion. My goal in nominating your article for AfD was not to negate your effort, but rather to clarify the situation as to the inclusion of malls and shopping centers in general, which I think is a problematic area on WP. Perhaps you could argue why it is that individual malls deserve WP articles of their own. Sincerely, the.crazy.russian (T) (C) (E) 21:13, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Northgate Mall (Tullahoma)
I've added the "prod" template to the article Northgate Mall (Tullahoma), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Northgate Mall (Tullahoma). You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

A tag has been placed on Mount Berry Square, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) 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 confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Butseriouslyfolks 04:59, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Image:Richs northpointmall3.jpg
Hi. When you uploaded Image:Richs northpointmall3.jpg, you did not specify complete source and copyright information. Another user subsequently tagged it with GFDL-presumed and, for some time, it has existed on Wikipedia under the assumption that you created the image and you agreed to license it under the GFDL. This assumption, however well-meaning, is not legally sufficient and the tag is being phased out. Images using it are being deleted.

This image has been tagged for deletion and will be deleted in one week if adequate copyright information is not provided.

If you, personally, are the author of this content, meaning that you took the photograph yourself or you created the chart yourself (and it does not use any clipart that you did not create), please retag the image with a free image copyright tag that correctly describes your licensing intentions, usually GFDL-self or PD-self. Please also make sure if you have not already done so that you write a good description of what the image depicts, when you took the photo, and other important details. This will allow Wikipedia to continue using the image.

If you did not create the image or if it is derived from the copyrighted works of others, please keep in mind that most images on the internet are copyrighted and are not suitable for use on Wikipedia. Wikipedia respects the copyrights of others and does not use images unless we know that they have been freely licensed. Any creative work is automatically copyrighted, even if it lacks a copyright notice. Unless the copyright holder has specifically disclaimed their rights to the image and released it under the GFDL or another compatible license, we cannot use it. If you did not create the image, and cannot make the image compliant with Non-free content, simply do nothing and it will be deleted in a week. All other non-free images must follow these rules.

Please feel free to contact me on my talk page or leave a message at Media copyright questions with any questions you may have. Thank you. Aksibot 07:29, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Kessler's
A tag has been placed on Kessler's requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.
