Roald Blijleven
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Roald Blijleven, 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.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Ethicoaestheticist (talk) 18:16, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Linuxbbq elitist scrot.png
Thanks for uploading File:Linuxbbq elitist scrot.png. 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 on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 12:33, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

LinuxBBQ
There are a lot of problems with this article and I am dubious about its notability. Establishing notability requires significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. So far, you have only a single primary source on the article, the distro's website. This is not sufficient for the article to be kept. Please add multiple third party sources and in particular make sure that all claims are sourced. Sources should cover the distribution in depth such as third-party reviews on reputable Linux sites (personal blogs are not considered to be reliable sources). Things like Distrowatch don't establish notability, just existence. See WP:42 for details.

Otherwise this article will have to be proposed for deletion. Not all Linux distributions have attained notabilty. Wikipedia should only have articles on those which meet our notability requirements (yes, there are probably others that need deletion, but I can only monitor new articles easily).

 * hi, i wrote the article, i'm new to all this so i am experimenting. i took up Wikipedia's guideline to 'be bold' so i just made the article. consider this a first draft. i have added some citations, but you are correct in that it is a relatively new project and the notability is not 'established'. i also understand why the argument 'there are others' does not count, that's perfectly fine with me.


 * would you be so kind as to explain some things to me so i can improve this article? for example, i do not understand the reasons why you feel some of the things need citations. there are among them where the only citation i think i'll ever be able to provide is from the project's page itself. will that suffice, or do they always need to be from 3rd party sources?


 * also, obviously some of the things that are 'claimed' in this article can only be established as 'true' by 3rd parties. i do know of third parties that tested lots of the releases, however they did so through youtube-videos. are those legitimate sources or do they have to be written out?


 * 3rd question. i got this source here: http://smlr.us/?p=2160#review - how could i employ it to provide citations for the article? it mentions multiple things that i feel could be cited; can i use the source multiple times? how does this work?


 * thanks for letting me know and trying to help out. Rhowaldt (talk) 17:12, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Linuxbbq logo.png
Thanks for uploading File:Linuxbbq logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. 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. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 22:39, 19 April 2019 (UTC)
