Skeptoid
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Skeptoid, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add  to the top of Skeptoid. Kamek (talk) 00:11, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Michael Shermer wiki portrait3.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Michael Shermer wiki portrait3.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, 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, 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 Non-free content, 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 18:44, 22 April 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Polly (Parrot) 18:44, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:Michael Shermer wiki portrait.jpg
A tag has been placed on Image:Michael Shermer wiki portrait.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

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  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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. <b style="color:green;">Polly</b> (<b style="color:red;">Parrot</b>) 18:46, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Proposed deletion of Robynn McCarthy


The article Robynn McCarthy has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Does not meet WP:GNG. Currently none of the references are independent and reliable secondary sources that demonstrate a significant amount of coverage. I get absolutely zero search results from Google News, there is a single book that mentions her because she had a planet named after her but the coverage isn't even WP:100WORDS. I can't find one good source let alone WP:THREESOURCES."

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 article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address 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 articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Proposed deletion of Derek Colanduno


The article Derek Colanduno has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Mirroring a recently PRODed page Robynn McCarthy whom is a co-host on the article page for their podcast Skepticality, I have found this individual doing a WP:BEFORE into both of them to have the same notability issues as the other. Specificly that he fails WP:GNG, doesn't pass WP:THREESOURCES and there is but one news article where he is simply mentioned by a fan which doesn't count. This article simply just reads as a LiveJournal blog and isn't relevant nor proper for wikipedia. His stroke sounds terrifying and sounds like he has been through a lot. Nevertheless, It would be better served to roll some of this information onto the podcast page instead."
