Marshintsy
A tag has been placed on Marshintsy, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template   to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please take no offence. Basketball 110  the pages I've messed up completely  16:02, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Sofiarotaruskymeclip.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Sofiarotaruskymeclip.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 18:28, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Extraphone
A tag has been placed on Extraphone 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 or group of people, 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, 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 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. - Jameson L.

Extraphone
Tagging for speedy deletion does not actually mean the article will be deleted; it alerts other editors that someone believes it should be, and puts the article in a category so that administrators may find them easily and assess whether or not the concerns raised qualify for the article to be speedy deleted. There is no discussion required by those who place tags on talk pages of relevant articles; in this instance, the tagger actually did. For the article in question, the tagging was correct as it met criterion A7 &mdash; it was an article about a company that did not assert the notability of the subject. While the article claimed it "is one of the most imortant record labels in the field of show-business", this is not verified and is incredibly subjecive &mdash; thus not an assertion of notability. The speedy deletion template links to the criteria for speedy deletion a total of three times. If you did not investigate what that page said yourself, then that is your fault. As the article in the deleted form does not qualify for inclusion, I will not restore it to mainspace. If you would like, I will restore it to a subpage of yours so that you may work on it until it merits inclusion. seresin | wasn't he just...? 23:43, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Glancing through your contributions, I notice that you seem to be creating a profusion of articles. I encourage you to read the notability guideline and the verifiability policy, and take that into account. Many of the things you have created fail one or both of these, and there is a good chance they will be deleted. seresin | wasn't he just...? 23:46, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I have restored the article to User:Rubikonchik/Extraphone. Please ensure that the article is in accordance with all our policies before moving it back to the mainspace. As for not doing it before deleting, that is generally not how things are done. If an article meets the speedy deletion criteria, it is speedy deleted. As you have asked me to assume good faith, I must point out that you seem to be lacking in that yourself. I did specify why the article was deleted &mdash; I even linked to the criterion in my deletion summary. As for other articles, I will probably not personally delete any of them, because these conversations could be seen as resulting in a conflict of interest. I noted those to you not to intimidate or bully you, but to give you forewarning so that the admin who might delete them will not have to have this same conversation with you. Articles I am referring to are ones such as Fog (album), You Are My Heart (album), Treacherous Men, Soul (film), and Monologue About Love. Artur Music and Chervona Ruta (film) are both speedy deletable, for the same reasons as Extraphone, but I will leave them for now per the abovementioned reasons. seresin | wasn't he just...? 00:40, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
