Please do not remove deletion tags from an article. At the very least, you can remove it and replace it with so members of the community can determine whether you are notable or not. Thanks, JHMM13 (T | C) 07:28, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Please stop removing "db" and "afd" tags. This is considered vandalism. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. J\/\/estbrook      07:31, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Bill Shillito
(copied from my talk page -DES): I created a new page for Bill Shillito, but it was put up for deletion for a reason that I don't really understand. Can you tell me what I need to do in order for the page to be acceptable by Wikipedia standards?

By the way, I'm sorry about removing the notice so many times, I guess I panicked.

 * Basically an article about a person, a biographical article, should only be created if the person is in some way notable or important. See our biography standards for more on this. (Also see WP:VAIN, a perhaps poorly named page.) If the article does not seem to be about a person who is notable enough (or if it has any of several other problems) people may discussed on articles for deletion and may decide to delete it there. If the article does not at least make a "claim of notability", then it can be speedily deleted. any person may put the db-bio tag on an artilce sugestimg that this be done, and any administrator may then delete the articel without further consultation if s/he thinks no such vlaim is made in the article. The rules for speedy deletion are on the speedy deletion criteria page. Your best way to 1) read the biography standars, and consider if this person seems to meet thsoe standards, or if you think an article on this person is of sufficient general interest that it should be on wikipedia. If you do, 2) you can re-create the article, this time explaining in the article in as much detail as you can, why you think the person is notable, significant, or important. Mention of specific accomplishments is a good idea. If you think that the article that I deleted already did this, you can raise the matter at our deletion reveiw page where such decisions can be considered and over-ruled. I will put a copy of the deleted article in your userspace, so that you can use it in writing a new version of the article, if you like. This is only temporary, however. If you have any furhter questions, please drop me a note and i will respond as best as I can. DES (talk) 03:51, 18 December 2005 (UTC)


 * I have temporarily undeleted the article and moved it to User:Shaunofshadou/Bill Shillito. This is considerd part of your user area, not part of the amain article space. This is temporary, within a week or so please either edit the article so you think it is ready to be reposted to the main space, or determine that you aren't going forward with this, or drop me a line and let me know how much longer you will need.

Image copyright problem with Image:Dmashura.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Dmashura.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags.

Fair use rationale for Image:Koolaidfg.JPG
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Koolaidfg.JPG. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —  pd_THOR  undefined | 20:46, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:Koolaidfg.JPG
A tag has been placed on Image:Koolaidfg.JPG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free image with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria. If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the image can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the image. If the image has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (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.
