Speedy deletion of Sakanaction
A tag has been placed on Sakanaction 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 band or musician, 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Ironholds (talk) 19:34, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia articles have to fulfill certain guidelines as to how "notable" the subject is. For the guidelines you will have to satisfy regarding a band, please see WP:MUSIC. Ironholds (talk) 21:12, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of GO TO THE FUTURE (album)
A tag has been placed on GO TO THE FUTURE (album) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a musical recording which does not indicate why its subject is important or significant, and where the artist's article has never existed, has been deleted or is eligible for deletion itself. 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for music.

Proposed deletion of GO TO THE FUTURE (album)
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article GO TO THE FUTURE (album), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process
 * Does not appear to meet the criteria for albums. Even the band is of dubious notability, being signed with an unknown label and having no major tours or sales/chart info.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. The article was proposed for deletion by the non-logged-in editor at 03:51, 26 December 2008. I'm just the message-bearer. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  19:04, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with File:News large sakana 0121a1c.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:News large sakana 0121a1c.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like PD-self (to release all rights), (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by STBotI. For assistance on the image use policy, see Media copyright questions. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 08:47, 2 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry, this was my fault. It's fixed now, I forgot the Non-free fair use in tag.  However, if the image is GFDL then please undo my edits and provide evidence that it's GFDL.  davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  17:53, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

File:Sakanaction.jpg
File:Sakanaction.jpg appears to be a commercially-produced image. Please provide evidence that it has been released under the GFDL, such as a link to the creator's web site saying it's been released, or remove that copyright tag and replace it with another copyright or fair-use tag, such as or one of the other non-free fair use templates listed at Category:Non-free image copyright tags. If you use any Non-free fair use tag, be sure to read WP:COPYRIGHT, Non-free use rationale guideline, and WP:IMAGES first, as this image may not qualify for fair use in that article. Also, most non-free fair use use requires either Non-free use rationale or both Non-free image data and Non-free image rationale together.

Please fix the licensing information on your other files as well. It is very important that files uploaded to Wikipedia have correct copyright licensing on them. Other web sites may rely on the license you put up and if it is incorrect, may unintentionally commit copyright infringement, subjecting them to lawsuits from the copyright holders. In the case of the image above, the copyright holder is probably the band, the record label, or the person or company that created the original artwork. Sometimes these companies do release their images under the GFDL. If they have done so, it should be on their web site, all you need to do is to provide a link back to that web page on the page for the image file. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  19:13, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Utada Hikaru 2009.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Utada Hikaru 2009.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 06:05, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of File:Utada Hikaru 2009.jpg
A tag has been placed on File:Utada Hikaru 2009.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I5 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image which is not under a free license or in the public domain and it has not been used in any article for more than seven days.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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.

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Utada Hikaru 2009.jpg)
 Thanks for uploading Image:Utada Hikaru 2009.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 '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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk ) 01:50, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:News large sakana 0121a1c.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:News large sakana 0121a1c.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Aspects (talk) 23:21, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:GO TO THE FUTURE.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:GO TO THE FUTURE.jpg. 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.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

 * 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.
