Speedy deletion of Gary Lucas
A tag has been placed on Gary Lucas, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

G12 - copyvio from http://www.garylucas.com/home2.shtml

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page 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. &mdash;Moondyne 23:41, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Just the one?
WP:OWN and WP:COI look like policies your should be very aware of in relation to the subject you have contributed to. As you have hardly edited anything else other than the one article about Gary Lucas - it might be assumed you are indeed very close to the subject - considering the length of time you have added material - it would be well worth asking for third party editors to either review or help re- write the whole article in a more wikified manner.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Arjen061103 4Lucas.jpg}
Thank you for uploading Image:Arjen061103 4Lucas.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:
 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Orphaned non-free image File:Skif3.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Skif3.jpg. 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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:19, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
