Speedy deletion nomination of "silver fm"


A tag has been placed on "silver fm" 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 an organization or company, 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 the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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.

File permission problem with File:Silver FM Logo.gif
Thanks for uploading File:Silver FM Logo.gif, which you've sourced to Silver FM. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

 * 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 , 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 .

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 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 any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 10:22, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

Motor vehicles
I'm curious to know, a company who builds cars that are unfinished, then sends them away to one of several different coachbuilders, selected by the customer, to build the body and interior of the car, if not a kit car, what would you call it? --Falcadore (talk) 09:49, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

Ford calls them "Qualified Vehicle Modifiers (QVM)" I guess if they are approved, and thus "Vehicle Modifiers" as a generic term.
 * Except Ford have built an entire car before the QVMs get hold of it. In Rolls Royce's pre War instance this is not the case. Cars were substantially incomplete. --Falcadore (talk) 17:45, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Simmondp. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Jericho Forum, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. — Newslinger  talk  14:35, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

Response
Help and guidance please; I have now re-read the Jericho Forum page a number of times, and as far as I know, everything on there is 100% factual. Yes I was involved, as was Andrew who has also been editing it to ensure that all the references to the documents are accurate and up to date (OpenGroup keep changing them). Both Andrew and I did serve within Jericho, but in a voluntary and unpaid capacity - and I am struggling to see and COI here..... Can you give an example to help? Paul (talk) 15:01, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi Paul, it's expected for Wikipedia editors to disclose any external relationships with the subjects of articles they edit, regardless of whether payment is involved. Even the co-founder of Wikipedia does it. Disclosure adds transparency to how articles are written and helps keep them neutral.
 * Currently, my focus is not on the Jericho Forum article (although you may want to consolidate the excessive number of external links there). However, there are two major issues with the Identity 3.0 article:
 * The Principles of Identity 3.0 section takes your entire "Identity 3.0 - Principles" document and places it in Wikipedia verbatim. This is a copyright violation, but if you have the rights to the content, you could grant Wikipedia permission to copy your content.
 * Even if the licensing of the text were cleared, the content would be considered a primary source, not a secondary source independent of the subject. The article subject needs to meet the notability standards to survive the deletion discussion.
 * Removing your name from the Identity 3.0 article doesn't eliminate the conflict of interest. (The only way to do that is to end your external relationship with the Jericho Forum and the Global Identity Foundation.) Of course, that wouldn't be a reasonable thing to do, so disclosure is all that I'm asking. — Newslinger  talk  19:21, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of The MVP's (group)


The article The MVP's (group) has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Does not meet WP:GNG, the only source here is a crowdsourced website and a primary source youtube video. I wasn't able to find more online or on Rock's Backpages"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. signed,Rosguill talk 22:44, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of The MVP's (group)


A tag has been placed on The MVP's (group) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.soul-source.co.uk/articles/soul-articles/mvps-uncovered/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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 "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 deleted 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. JW 1961  Talk  19:14, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

The MVP's (group) moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, The MVP's (group), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
