Speedy deletion nomination of James C. Bean


A tag has been placed on James C. Bean 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 person or group of people, 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 this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to 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 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. 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. AKS (talk) 18:40, 5 January 2012 (UTC)


 * The article has been reprieved from speedy deletion but there are still concerns; see below. ~Amatulić (talk) 23:12, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of James C. Bean


The article James C. Bean has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Notability concerns: lack of significant coverage in independent secondary sources as required by WP:SIGCOV. Being a provost or secondary executive is not necessarily a valid claim of notability, even if it may be enough to escape speedy deletion under WP:CSD.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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. ~Amatulić (talk) 23:12, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Nomination of James C. Bean for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article James C. Bean is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/James C. Bean until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. ~Amatulić (talk) 15:52, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

About show preview
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In the future, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, reduces edit conflicts, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thank you. Valfontis (talk) 03:55, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

About edit summaries
Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you. Valfontis (talk) 03:55, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 17
Hi. When you recently edited Robert M. Berdahl, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Administrator and Augustana College (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Replaceable fair use File:Gottfredsonuoregon.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Gottfredsonuoregon.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 the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. 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 the non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. We hope (talk) 22:56, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Non-free content-"Pictures of people still alive, groups still active, and buildings still standing; provided that taking a new free picture as a replacement (which is almost always considered possible) would serve the same encyclopedic purpose as the non-free image. This includes non-free promotional images." We hope (talk) 22:56, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 3
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Board of Trustees of the University of Oregon, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Nike (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

University of Oregon notable alumni
I'd hardly call a chancellor of a major university, two current members of the US House of Representatives, one current member of the US Senate, a software engineer with major contributions to his field, an award winning biochemist, and an extremely popular blogger "random names". I propose we add them back in to your edit adding in faculty and staff.

I personally think that there were too many images in that section. That's why I deleted them. You are welcome to add them again. However, if you do please keep the section below that has images of notable faculty/staff --Wiseoleman17 (talk) 21:32, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

It's fairly common on Wikipedia for more images than that to be shown. Take for example the sections for UC Berkeley and University of Florida. Would you rather the gallery be removed entirely in favor of a bulleted list?

I just wanted to have some balance btw the alumni and faculty/staff sections i guess. I also think they listing all the notable names kind of defeats the purpose of having a separate article. Having too many images makes it seem kind of crowded in my opinion.

How about no more than one name from each alumni category (arts, business, science, law, politics etc.) Is that a good compromise or is that too arbitrary?

I personally prefer the gallery as I think it tells a more compelling and visually appealing story. Maybe I will add more to fac/staff as i find more names that fit that description.

Orphaned non-free image File:UniversityofOregonofficialseal.png
 Thanks for uploading File:UniversityofOregonofficialseal.png. 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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 19:44, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

File source problem with File:University of Oregon official signature, 2017.png
Thank you for uploading File:University of Oregon official signature, 2017.png. 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 page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Replaceable fair use File:A picture of Phil Knight with sunglasses.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:A picture of Phil Knight with sunglasses.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item 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 creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media 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 the non-free content policy.

AFDs
Hello, Wiseoleman17,

You can not vote on an AFD where you are the nominator so I have struck these invalid votes. It also is no problem if ALL references to an article are not in English, that is not a valid deletion rationale.

I think you are too inexperienced to be nominating articles for deletion so please cease doing so until you have thoroughly read and understood Articles for deletion as well as Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions.

If you have questions about AFDs and Wikipedia's deletion policies, please bring them to the Teahouse. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 02:25, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
