Unspecified source for Image:Fanart 7th Moon by Atelier Kamishibai.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Fanart 7th Moon by Atelier Kamishibai.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 22:38, 19 July 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

More about 7th Moon
Hi Hidariude, I'm the one who nominated your article for deletion. I keep an eye on the nominations I make, noticed your long and sincere plea for 7th Moon to be kept, so I thought I'd take some time to give you the response you deserve. It's not going to be good news, unfortunately. But before I get to that, I just want to tell you that nobody doubts you're trying to do good for Wikipedia, and nobody is trying to torpedo 7th Moon.

Wikipedia is in the business of collecting and presenting reliable information. That means it has some requirements that need to be met before an article can be kept here.

Important among these requirements is notability- that means, more or less, that a topic needs to have been discussed in circles outside the people who have an immediate concern with it. For instance if something has been written up in newspapers, scientific journals or things of this kind then the subject is most probably notable enough to include. If something has only been talked about by the creators, or on internet forums concerned with it, or similar places, then it's likely to fail notability. This policy is important, because without it people could just create pages on anything and everything, which would hurt Wikipedia. It wouldn't be an encyclopedia anymore, it would be MySpace.

7th Moon, I think, does not meet the notability requirements because it doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere other than the homepage and in online communities concerned with the art form of Kamishibai. It may be that Kamishibai is underrepresented here, but including articles on various examples of Kamishibai simply to create support for them and for the art form is not what Wikipedia is for. Blazing a trail for your project and advocating your art is good, and it is admirable of you to be doing it, it's just that Wikipedia is not the place.

I've spent some time giving you this long answer because you write well and obviously care deeply about Kamishibai, a subject that isn't covered well here. You're just the sort of editor we need and it would be a shame if Wikipedia lost you because your first article isn't quite suitable for this project. If you decide to stay and work to get Kamishibai up to a decent standard, I will help you any way I can. You can leave me a message by clicking the YO! under my signature. If you leave, I wish you all the best for your project. Regards, Reyk  YO!  03:53, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
