Notability of Spread the net
A tag has been placed on Spread the net requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, 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 the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. 141.199.102.25 (talk) 12:39, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Is the copyright on File:Belinda-stronach-09a.jpg genuinely yours to release? You cannot upload an image to Commons and call it free use just because it was released as her media headshot — our copyright requirements on here actually don't allow copyrighted press kit photos to be used. Wikipedia's own copyright license permits the use of our content in any way a person chooses — for instance, Wikipedia couldn't even issue a cease and desist order if somebody started their own website on which they took Wikipedia photographs and drew Hitler mustaches on them — so we can't upload anything whose original copyright holder hasn't explicitly released their work under the same completely unrestricted license. If you didn't actually take the photo yourself, the person who owns it has to actually provide written confirmation that Wikipedia specifically is allowed to use it under a public domain, GFDL or Creative Commons license.
