Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles that you have created yourself. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please place  on the page (please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag) and make your case on the article's. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. - Zeibura S. Kathau (Info 17:39, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Robyn Donald
Hi there, it appears that you have put a great deal of time and effort into the article on Robyn Donald. Unfortunately, much of this does not follow the guidelines established for Wikipedia as an Encyclopedia, although I have not had time to determine specifics.

Firstly, I am not challenging the article as a whole - it is clear that Robyn is notable and deserves an article.

Possible Issues:

 * The inclusion of large passages of well-developed text raises the issue of Copyright. Because of its free licesnsing, Wikipedia must take extreme care not to breach copyright by including previously published material. It is okay to include short extracts from sources, but they must be clearly deliniated as quotes and cited, and there should be a strong reason for using a direct quote rather than paraphrasing.


 * The second thing that comes to mind when reading this article is that it appears to contain Original Research, which is not permitted. Wikipedia is a reference work limited to summarising material that has been published by reputable sources.


 * Lastly (and closely related to the above two points, all information published must be Verfiable by the reader. This is usually achieved by citations of the references used, whther they be online, print or other media.

Please take time to read the policies and guidelines that I have linked to, and consider how the article can be adapted to comply with them. This will help avoid wholesale removal of content which appears to infringe policies. Note that I am not an administrator, just a fellow editor (although I lack the dedication to create articles in such depth! I came across this article while adding birth dates to the compilation article 1940 in New Zealand) dramatic 05:29, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Hassan Nisar.jpg.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Hassan Nisar.jpg.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, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. 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 created [ in your upload log]. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 05:52, 15 August 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 05:52, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Robyn Donald


A tag has been placed on Robyn Donald, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

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; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Ironholds (talk) 20:24, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Rosalind Brett (author)


The article Rosalind Brett (author) has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Eeekster (talk) 19:33, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Dr. Manzoor Ahmed


A tag has been placed on Dr. Manzoor Ahmed requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or organised event, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Citrusbowler (talk) 23:36, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 5
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Rosalind Brett (author), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Colonial (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
