Orphaned non-free image File:Euromoney Training logo.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Euromoney Training logo.jpg. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 14:19, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Euromoney Training logo.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Euromoney Training logo.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created [ in your upload log]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 14:19, 8 May 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7.

Euromoney training
Re. Euromoney training

Personally, I think that article should be speedy deleted as G11 - "Unambiguous advertising or promotion. Pages that are exclusively promotional, and would need to be fundamentally rewritten to become encyclopedic."

Specifically, because it would need a fundamental rewrite. It does not have any independent, reliable sources.

Whether it actually will be deleted or not, I don't know.

Firstly, a question: are you connected to the subject in some way, in business, or whatever? If not, skip this part. If so, then you have a conflict of interest, and thus it is very difficult to write a neutral, acceptable article. If this is the case, then we strongly recommend that you do not create the article. There are options available to create an appropriately sourced article in your user area, and then request that it is created. Please read this essay on best practice, and the business FAQ

Next - notability. In order to have an article on Wikipedia, the subject must meet the notability guidelines. The simplest, most important one is the general notability guideline, which says a subject needs significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. That carefully-worded phrase explains quite a lot;


 * Significant coverage - such as, a number of news articles about the article topic - not passing mentions


 * Reliable sources - well, this is defined in some detail in WP:RS, but the essence of it is - something that is generally trusted - such as the BBC, CNN, The New York Times. Books are good, too. Blog-sites are rarely reliable.


 * Independent - we don't use primary sources, such as the company website, press releases, listings, or anything like that. We want secondary coverage - other people independently writing about the subject.

I suggest that you consider working on some other existing articles - perhaps something of interest.

I hope that you will continue to work on WIkipedia, and I assure you that I will help in any way I can. For more help, you can either;


 * Leave a message on my own talk page;
 * Use a - please create a new section at the end of your own talk page, put , and ask your question - remember to 'sign' your name by putting ~ at the end;
 * Talk to us live, with this or this.

 * ...and, it was deleted; 14:10, 26 May 2010 deleted "Euromoney training" ‎ (overly promotional)


 * I hope my above discourse is helpful; we welcome all editors, but conflict-of-interest / spam is a huge problem; thanks for your understanding.  Chzz  ►  14:15, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
