Fair use rationale for Image:LouisvilleSluggersLogo.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:LouisvilleSluggersLogo.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on 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.

A tag has been placed on The Louisville Sluggers requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), 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 an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia 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. Louisvillesluggers (talk) 02:06, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to the Louisville Sluggers talk page! Feel free to discuss about anything Louisville Slugger related!


 * I believe that this article should not be "speedily deleted" because It informs people that I know, and people that want to know about our Baseball team and league. Please reconsider about deleting this page, because I made this page to inform friends, and their friends, and their friends about my baseball team. We thank you on the Behalf of the Louisville Sluggers Louisvillesluggers (talk) 02:10, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

I deleted it because there was not enough context to figure out what league it is (though it doesn't sound like a notable one), it would need a complete rewrite to be an encyclopedia article (vs an ad or PR/news piece) and there's no support for the claims of notability, such as they are. I think the main issue here is that wikipedia is not a free webhost and does not want to have a page about every known thing, but rather an encyclopedia with some notability requirements for its content.
