A tag has been placed on Limbo boutique St. Marks Place, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia for multiple reasons. Please see the page to see the reasons. If the page has since been deleted, you can ask me the reasons by leaving a message on my user talk page.

You can also visit the 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. Jasper Deng (talk) 03:41, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Limbo boutique St. Marks Place

The article Limbo boutique St. Marks Place has been proposed for deletion. The proposed-deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Beyond My Ken (talk) 06:26, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Re-thought

Hi. I'm the editor who marked your Limbo article for proposed deletion. I did this in overreaction to the overly extensive references to the shop you added to St. Mark's Place and East Village, in violation of WP:WEIGHT. I've had second thoughts, though, so I'd like to propose a compromise. I'm going to do some extensive editing to the Limbo article (including moving it to a more Wikified name) to bring it into compliance with Wikipedia's style etc. In return, would you please hol off on adding references to the shop to other, related, articles? Your enthusiasm is great, but the mention of the shop in these other articles needs to be proportionate to its importance to the subject. Best, Beyond My Ken (talk) 20:50, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:GirlLimboLogo.jpeg)

Thanks for uploading File:GirlLimboLogo.jpeg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 04:31, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

I've fixed the Fair Use Rationale (FUR), trimmed the border from the image, adjusted the balances an inserted in into the article. (Article names are case-sensitive everywhere but in the search box, so Limbo (Boutique) is not the same as Limbo (boutique).) Beyond My Ken (talk) 04:51, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:GirlLimboLogo.jpeg. 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. Courcelles 04:56, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Please see the above. The image is in use on Limbo (boutique), as indicated on the upate FUR. Beyond My Ken (talk) 05:00, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Dear "Beyond My Ken" thank you again for your help putting this up. I had tried to put up the image but was unable to follow the direction you had provided earlier. Seeing I had erred, I tried again, and again. I wasn't sure how to delete my work and so decided I'd wait to hear from you. Apropos of the picture, it came from Marty Freedman and he believes he has the rights to it. In any event, his memory of a 43-year old event is imperfect, but considering that Limbo has slipped from many people's minds, I don't think it's use should create a problem for anyone. I do have an image of the "hand" logo, as a kind of woodcut, but I thought this image put it in a real context. Please let me know if there's any problem and how to fix it, although I suspect (hope) there won't be. (I am not quite able to decipher Melesse' or Courcelles' comments, but I hope in time, to be able to. In any event, I thank you and everyone involved in seeing that the work stands. Please feel free to contact to explain further, I'll check later in, later in the day. --Bosalino (talk) 14:32, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

The notices from Melesse and Courcelle occured because you uploaded it as a fair-use image, but it was not yet used in any article, and fair-use media are allowed only if (and because) they are used. Since it's in the article now, that shouldn't be a problem. As for the other issues - if the photo appeared in the Post, as you say, I believe that the Fair Use Rationale as it now exists sufficiently covers the image. Let's see what develops and take it from there if anything does. Beyond My Ken (talk) 18:09, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Thank you, "Beyond My Ken," for both your help (essential) and the education (invaluable). I'll be in touch should something interesting come up or Marty suddenly comes up with something that adds value to the entry. Have a lovely day.--Bosalino (talk) 18:29, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Glad to have been able to help. Best, Beyond My Ken (talk) 18:46, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
