George Chiang
Even if there's a newspaper article about the play in the Facebook posting, you still can't cite the Facebook posting as the source: you have to cite the original newspaper article itself, not a Facebook or Twitter repost of it. Bearcat (talk) 14:24, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
 * "Notable because awards" for a writer does not automatically attach to any award you can find; it attaches only to awards that receive media coverage. That is, a Governor General's Award for drama supports notability, because the media report that award's nomination and winner announcements as news — but an award such as the "Readerview Kids 2018 Reviewers Choice Award", where you have to rely on the award's own self-published website about itself as the source because media coverage of that award is non-existent, does not count as a notability claim. The extent to which a literary award counts as a reason for a writer to get a Wikipedia article is 100 per cent coterminous with the extent to which the media report that award as news. Bearcat (talk) 15:39, 21 March 2018 (UTC)


 * There is no need to mention the new award. However, The Railroad Adventures of Chen Sing's first two awards were mentioned in two newspaper articles which have been forwarded to you.. One newspaper article was on the original Wiki article and one was sent to you yesterday.  Regardless, of the book. There are 3 articles in question.  As for the Golden Lotus (musical) sources. I can certainly cite the original newspaper article itself and take down the link to the Facebook posts.  that is an easy fix.  And the sources thus far listed for George Chiang's acting are all very credible sources.  I am still working on the sourcing for that page as there are more.Bearcat (talk) John99Wick (talk) 16:19, 21 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Now is an alt-weekly, not a major daily newspaper. So it can be used for supplementary verification of facts after the article already contains stronger sources, but it is not in and of itself enough to make a topic notable if it's the strongest source on offer. Bearcat (talk) 16:29, 21 March 2018 (UTC)


 * The Toronto Star article (which I've already read, because I'm the one who put it in Kimberly Huie's article) is not about George Chiang, it just mentions his name a single time in an article that isn't about him otherwise. A source has to be about a person, not just mention his name, to count as support for his notability. It's a perfectly acceptable source to verify the fact, but it doesn't count as a data point toward establishing that he's notable enough. Bearcat (talk) 16:38, 21 March 2018 (UTC)


 * You're misunderstanding what I'm saying. If his notability as a writer can be properly established by the correct kind of sourcing, then the article can still include any other information about him that can be verified at all, such as acting credits, even if the sources for those facts aren't as solid as the sources that established his notability in the first place. But his notability as a writer still has to be properly established by the correct kind of sourcing before he qualifies to have an article at all — once that's been done, you can use sources like Now or the Toronto Star article for additional verification of facts, those sources just don't count toward establishing his initial notability.

Disambiguation link notification for April 8
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited George Chiang, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Golden Lotus ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/George_Chiang check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/George_Chiang?client=notify fix with Dab solver]).

File permission problem with File:George Chiang at the Annual Chen Sing Family Reunion, Stanley Park, Vancouver in July, 2017.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:George Chiang at the Annual Chen Sing Family Reunion, Stanley Park, Vancouver in July, 2017.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

ATTENTION : This is an automated, bot-generated message. This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 03:00, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:George Chiang in Montreal 2021.jpeg


A tag has been placed on File:George Chiang in Montreal 2021.jpeg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement&#32;of https://www.georgechiang.org/bio. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Whpq (talk) 12:46, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

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.

Replaceable fair use File:George Chiang in Montreal 2021.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:George Chiang in Montreal 2021.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text  below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:38, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:A World Away (Remix) Cover Art - Harriet Chung.jpg


The file File:A World Away (Remix) Cover Art - Harriet Chung.jpg has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Non-free album cover being used in a decorative manner in Harriet Chung. Non-free album cover art is generally allowed to be used for primary identification purposes in stand-alone articles about albums, but its use in other articles is generally only allowed when the cover art itself is the subject of sourced critical commentary as explained in WP:NFC and the context for non-free use required by WP:NFCC is evident. There is no such commentary for this particular album cover anywhere in the article, and, thus, omitting it is not going to be deterimental to the reader's understanding in any way."

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 file's talk page.

Please consider addressing 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 files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:46, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
