Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. We always appreciate when users upload new images. However, it appears that one or more of the images you have recently uploaded or added to an article may fail our non-free image policy. Most often, this involves editors uploading or using a copyrighted image of a living person. For other possible reasons, please read up on our Non-free image criteria. Please note that we take very seriously our criteria on non-free image uploads and users who repeatedly upload or misuse non-free images may be blocked from editing. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. ΔT The only constant 00:45, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of List of Staff in Bhavan's Girinagar


A tag has been placed on List of Staff in Bhavan's Girinagar 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.) or web content, 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. Bejinhan  talks   03:31, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

Status and Advice
As reviewing administrator, I deleted the article. Try writing an article about the school itself. The only name that should appear is the name of the head; a list of all the teaching staff is not encyclopedic content. Write like an encyclopedia article, not a press release--see articles for similar institutions for guidance. Remember not to copy from a web site -- first it's a copyright violation, but, even if you give us permission according to WP:DCM, the tone will not be encyclopedic and the material will not be suitable.

Include only material that would be of interest to a general reader coming across the mention of the organization and wanting the sort of information that would be found in an encyclopedia. Do not include material that would be of interest only to those associated with the organization, or to prospective clients--that sort of content is considered promotional. Keep in mind that the goal of an encyclopedia is to say things in a concise manner, which is not the style of  press releases or  web sites, which are usually more expansive.

For further information see our FAQ about business, organizations, and articles like this and also WP:FIRST.

As a general rule, a suitable page will be best written by someone without Conflict of Interest; it's not impossible to do it properly with a conflict of interest or as a paid press agent, but it's relatively more difficult: you are automatically thinking in terms of the organization wishes to communicate to the public, but an uninvolved person will think in terms of what the public might wish to know.

If you think you can do it right according to our guidelines, do so, but expect the article to be carefully checked for objectivity.  DGG ( talk ) 03:46, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

re: Bhavan's Vidya Mandir (Girinagar)
Greetings Shankar S M!

I have removed the staff sections from this article, and wanted to explain to you why this is the case. According to the Schools wikiproject, which oversees all school articles on Wikipedia, lists of staff are not to be included in school articles. This is for a few reasons:
 * 1)  Listing such staff will prevent the article from advancing to better article status (Stub-Start-C-B-A-Good Article-Featured Article).  The goal of almost all articles is continued improvement.
 * 2)  Becuase of this guideline, other editors will be constantly removing such a list.  It will become highly frustrating for you and for other editors to see disruption on this article if this list is constantly re-added and removed.
 * 3) Because these guidelines are already based on consensus, it will be very difficult for you ro nay other editor to defend the inclusion of this list. Other Wikipedia administrators will almost certainly not permit such a list to remain in the article.

I do wish you the best of luck in improving this article. If you are looking for ideas, please consider looking at the article guidelines for school articles. LonelyBeacon (talk) 14:24, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Nickelodeon India.

If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. If I had made a mistake, please report it, remove this warning and make the edit again. Cutecutecuteface2000 (Cutecuteface needs attention) 15:32, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Nickelodeon-India, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. If I had made a mistake, please report it, remove this warning and make the edit again.

Please stop. Continuing to remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Nickelodeon-India, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, may be considered disruptive editing. Further edits of this type may result in your account being blocked from editing Wikipedia. If I had made a mistake, please report it, remove this warning and make the edit again. Cutecutecuteface2000 (Cutecuteface needs attention) 02:15, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you remove the maintenance templates from Wikipedia articles without resolving the problem that the template refers to, as you did at Take Two with Phineas and Ferb, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.
