Esther's Diary (film) article nominated for deletion

{{helpme-working}} Hi Chris, I'm Keyboard Warrior Killer, and I am the author of the Esther's_Diary_(film) article that you nominated for deletion. I went to the talk page to request that it be kept and showed some proof that the article is a keeper, but I'm not for sure if I got the formatting correct, as I am relatively new to Wiki and am still working through the learning curve, so I wanted to check with you as well.

The reason that you nominated the article for deletion was that you did not feel that it fit notability guidelines. The film was originally released under the name Forgiveness as mentioned in the article. Under that name it is featured on the Polish Film Festival of LA's official Site, and also it is listed as having played at the West Hollywood Film Festival. I also checked the notability guidelines and they mentioned that notability includes a film featuring a notable person in one of the main roles. Screenwriter Allan Knee (Finding Neverland The Scarlet Letter, Little Women), director Mariusz Kotowski, and lead actresses Juli Erickson and Shelley Calene-Black all have Wiki bios that have met notability standards. I would be happy to update the article with more info on the movie when it was released under the title of Forgiveness if you would like, but I do think that there is enough material for it to count under notability guidelines.

This is my first rodeo with dealing with disputes so I want to make sure that I'm doing things right, as I would really like to see this article stay up. Thanks in advance for any advice you might have. Keyboard warrior killer (talk) 02:35, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Please, undo this edit yourself, since they would block me if I would correct your verbal mistake again. Extremely sexy 16:52, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

I think it's unnecessary to do that as anyone will still be able to understand it. I myself am indifferent to other people altering my comments for style, but other people aren't and you should probably respect that. This business of editing other people's comments is something you appear to have done quite a lot of. Christopher Connor 17:18, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

2007 AS Roma-Manchester United conflict

A "{{prod}}" template has been added to the article 2007 AS Roma-Manchester United conflict, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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.

WikiProject Snooker request

As a member of WikiProject Snooker, it is requested that you watchlist at least the following pages:

• Wikipedia:WikiProject Snooker - if the project members do not pay attention to changes at the project page, especially its talk page, effective collaboration will be nearly impossible and the project would eventually fail.
• Wikipedia:WikiProject Snooker/Wanted snooker bios - this is an important part of the project's to-do list.
• Snooker - our main article, frequently subject to vandalism and nonsense edits that (historically) have sometimes taken hours or even an entire day to be fixed
• Snooker season 2006/2007 - another important article
• Snooker world rankings 2006/2007 - another important article
• One or more player articles of your choice that you'd like to "adopt" as a guardian against vandalism, PoV-pushing, etc.

Keeping in touch with the rest of the team via the project pages, and keeping an occasional eye on core articles will go a long way to strengthening the project and protecting the articles. Thank you for your time and attention. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 03:04, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Stan James

A tag has been placed on Stan James 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ttonyb (talk) 00:53, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of John Forehand

The article John Forehand has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Marcus Qwertius (talk) 16:03, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

You can do that but this article would still be deleted due to Wikipedia:Not news. Marcus Qwertius (talk) 16:17, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

hi christopher sorry for confusion i tried to find the last message u left me but i dont know what happened to my talk page. i deleted the tag my friend is the one that created the page she is trying to help put up more notable korean american people for me because i wanted to have more positive korean american role models for people. i am really sorry but i think i need your help with something... i have one article that is on dr kenneth kim that i kept when i read it in the news. i scanned it and it is on my computer. there were some others that i heard about from my parents but i dont know where they are but once i get a hold of them i will also try and cite them as well. dr kim has been doing great things though for our community please dont delete him he's been doing surgery for free or cheap on older patients and helping them with eyelid surgery to correct their droopy eyelid problems its a common condition among us asians that often get overlooked and it can be very bad for our eyes etc. my parents have also been following him we really respect what he does. i dont know how to cite the news paper but the article is from korea daily news it was printed but i cant find it on their site because i think his name is in korean on the site and i dont know if you can help me hunt him down but its not easy because ALL KOREAN PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME NAME!!! (sorry this is a personal annoyance of mine). anyways, i really would appreciate it if you could please let me know what to do to keep dr kim's page from being removed.... its hard to carry things over from korean to english especially because i am second generation so even i dont know exactly what to look for... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.87.89.126 (talk) 19:10, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Yes, sources written in another language are fine as long as they are reliable e.g. from respected newspapers. Put your sources in the article for people to consider. The current sources in the article only appear to give L.G.R. tangential coverage and don't discuss the company itself. Christopher Connor (talk) 14:41, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Chaudhry Abdur Rehman

Hi Christopher, I saw an article about Chaudhry Abdur Rehman which is tagged by you for deletion, for references not having any connection to the person. In fact before you tagged the article, I had written in the discussion area about the links which are there just to deceive. I fully agree with you that the peron is not notable. Moreover, the author of the article seems to be the son of Chaudhry Abdur Rehman. This is just my guess because of the tone of the article. Now, the guy who wrote this, is asking me for help. I am just a freelancer myself, joined Wikipedia few months back. Please can you visit my talk page and drop few lines about wikipedia policy. The guy does not have any online references to support his claim. I have replied him according to my knowledge but that is possibly not satisfactory.RegardsJogibaba (talk) 09:48, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Bucks Boys Productions

Hello Christopher Connor. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Bucks Boys Productions, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Article claims importance/significance of the subject. Thank you. SoWhy 10:58, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

One of the reasons I tagged it for speedy was that it had been speedied three times already. Although I haven't seen the previous versions, the current article didn't seem to make particularly strong claims of notability (as well as being poorly sourced etc.). Also, given only the most famous of these "digital production companies" will get an article (unlike recording artists). Christopher Connor (talk) 16:02, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

inre Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Free Fall (film)

I can well understand your nomination, specially when considering the state of the original article.[1] However, I have done some digging and discovered just which film the term "crashes of Trans Regional Airlines" belongs to. I learned it has been released on television and video under several different names and in several different languages and countries. So far, I have been able to improve the 2-sentence unsourced new article into something a bit more encyclopedic... Free Fall (film)... and thought to stop by and ask if you might yourself be able to assist in translating the non-English sources revealed by searches under its alternate-language release titles. Thanks much, Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 02:00, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I cannot help here. Good work on the article though. Christopher Connor (talk) 02:40, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

No Speed Deletion of Catoctin Creek Distilling Company

I provided some rationale for why we should not delete the wiki page for Catoctin Creek Distilling Company that I hope you will consider. The article is about a company that is definitely newsworthy. In fact, the company was highlighted on the NBC Nightly News (see references). Even though one of the owners of the company wrote the article, it is written in a neutral and dispassionate tone consistent with the style guidelines of Wikipedia. The talk page is here with rationale: [2].

Please consider removing the speedy deletion. Scohar70 (talk) 18:21, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

inre Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Esther's Diary (film)

Your concerns at the AFD are noted and appreciated. I also share these concerns, as the current article uses too much fluff and hyperbole improperly sourced back to production or youtube videos. Through available sources, it is clear that in its original release as Forgiveness it had the coverage and awards for which notability might be ascertained. As the re-release as Esther's Diary is essentially a director's special cut of the the earlier film, I used my clean-up work on the article as guide in creating an new article. Please review User:MichaelQSchmidt/workspace/Forgiveness (2008 film). What I think should be done is to A) move the current version to the film's original name of Forgiveness (2008 film) and then B) edit the article so it matches my improved, and far less spammy version. This preserves the histories, sets a better version, and leaves a redirect of new name to old as a reasonable search term. Or... I could simply edit the existing article as it sits to make the improvements, and then suggest the move to the new name. What'cha think? --Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 20:50, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

I think your suggestion of article titling is a good one. With regards to notability, it's borderline but I still think it doesn't strictly pass the criteria at WP:NFILM. There isn't any votes for delete though, so the article looks like it's going to be kept. Christopher Connor (talk) 16:03, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Fair enough. As nominator, I felt you should be kept up to speed on your concerns being addressed. Thanks, much. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 19:34, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Rick Johnson (writer)

The article Rick Johnson (writer) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable author. No evidence it satisfies WP:AUTHOR.

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 {{dated prod}} 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 {{dated prod}} 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. Christopher Connor (talk) 16:26, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

So really what you're saying is he isn't important enough for your wonderous collection of information here on Wikipedia? Really? Rick Johnson has published six books all on the general topic of becoming and being a better man, dad, husband. He's nationally known and accepted as an expert in the same. I do not see how you justify this, please explain or leave the page up. Thank you T geier (talk) 14:10, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

I don't believe he passes the notability criteria at WP:N or WP:AUTHOR. Simply publishing books is not enough. If you read through those pages and produce evidence to the contrary, then we can look at the article and see if he is notable enough for inclusion.

Somalis in the United Kingdom

Hi. Thanks for your e-mail. I prefer to communicate on Wikipedia so I'm replying here. I hope that's OK. It certainly wasn't my intention to "side" with an editor at Somalis in the United Kingdom. The reason I initially agreed with the edits being made was that they seemed to improve the article after you had added what I considered to be sweeping generalisations (and, in fact, statements that were flat out incorrect) to it. For example, you added: "In the 2001 Census, they are subsumed under the 'Other Black' category amongst Black British". This is incorrect since the census relies on self-identification. This edit introduced numerous inaccuracies and strange statements such as "Somalis in the UK also have issues regarding Islamic terrorism". What does this even mean? That they are all involved in terrorism? That they don't like terrorism? It's both sweeping and imprecise. You should understand my support for the reversion and modification of your additions to the article to stem from these issues, not from any support for a particular editor. I agree that the article still needs more work and I'm happy that you're willing to help improve it. Just please try to be a little more careful next time. Cordless Larry (talk) 07:01, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

I tried to start making some improvements to the article myself. Please see the resultant discussion here. Cordless Larry (talk) 10:48, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi. I'm just contacting people who have recently shown an interest in editing the Somalis in the United Kingdom article. There is a discussion going on on the NPOV noticeboard that you might want to contribute to. It relates to these discussions on the article's talk page.

Web Hosting Industry

Hello. I had been adding content to increase the relevance of the web hosting industry within the pages of Wikipedia, which has been under represented. And perhaps as an extreme example, without web hosting Wikipedia probably wouldn't exist.

The references that I had been using came from the primary source of information available about the industry, other websites talking about web hosting. Some have been directories, some have been blog/article site covering the web hosting industries. Occasionally there might be a regional newspaper writing an article, or some other trade publication, but the majority of information about web hosting will be other websites writing about web hosting. So I do feel that these can be credible references.

As a model of which companies to include on the pages of Wikipedia, I used as a reference some of the existing entries (Hostgator, Bluehost, 1&1, etc). They all primarily use other web hosting directory sites as their references, some even referencing their own site or blogs by people directly affiliate with the company. I have avoided the latter when adding content. So I have tried to include companies that have an actual history and longevity.

I am interested in continuing to add and update the content on the different web hosting entries, but I am hoping that you will provide me with a more detailed and specific explanation of WP:ORG as it relates to the web hosting industry. Thank you.Dankim1180 (talk) 17:34, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

There is no specific guideline for web-hosting companies. The article Omnis Network falls under the guideline WP:ORG which says "An organization is generally considered notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources." The sources in the article are mostly directory-type sites and these have less weight (not much in fact) then say a well-known newspaper when considering notability. Also, the coverage does not appear to be "substantial" as they merely list product plans and such. The article is currently under the WP:PROD process. You're free to remove this tag and give a reason why the company is notable (though this is not compulsory). The article will then have to be deleted via the Articles for deletion process. Christopher Connor (talk) 18:12, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for your response. But I think I have to reiterate again that we are dealing with an industry that is not covered in mainstream media, and is only regularly covered by other websites. And should website directories be so readily discounted? Dmoz is a highly referenced source among Wikipedia pages. And again, with no specific guidelines for web hosting companies, I can only use other existing web hosting companies on Wikipedia as a guide. I will readily acknowledge that GoDaddy deserves a Wikipedia page because of the extensive coverage that it receives. But I cannot reconcile your view of Omnis Network with the other hosting companies pages who I have also contributed to: Hostgator, Bluehost, and 1&1 Internet. All three of those Wikipedia pages are primarily referenced by websites about web hosting, directory sites, or some site directly affiliated with the company.

Web hosting may not be as advanced an industry to be widely covered in other media, but I'd like to think it is important enough that not only the top web hosting company deserves a listing. And if you'll allow another example. In the soft drink industry, of course Coca-Cola and Pepsi deserve a Wikipedia page. But you also have a page for the much smaller Jones Soda, whom I would like to point out gets over half of their references from their own website. So in terms of market scale, if a proportionally smaller company like Jones Soda is allowed a Wikipedia page, so should these smaller web hosting companies. I can't say that the Wikipedia pages for these smaller hosting companies will become as relevant as a Coca-Cola or even a GoDaddy. They are works in progress that will grow in significance with time, and should be allowed an existence on Wikipedia beyond the deletion date of the WP:PROD process.

Thank you again, for reading and considering my rationale.Dankim1180 (talk) 00:41, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

I understand your point about "proportionally smaller" companies in some industries not having articles while similar companies in other industries will have articles. However, that is just the nature of the beast and isn't something the project can change. It would not be sensible having different notability guidelines for different types of articles in terms of coverage required; there needs to be uniformity in the rules for the project to work. Due to the project policies on what can and cannot be included, there is always going to be some bias due to the source-providers being biased. The three companies you linked to seem to have at least some coverage beyond that in directory sites and that could be the reason no one has nominated them for deletion yet. If you still feel the article meets WP:ORG, you can remove the tag so that it can be sent to WP:AFD where other editors can participant in the debate over whether to include it or not. Christopher Connor (talk) 01:05, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

I am obliged to send it to AfD (and have now done) because of your comments. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Omnis Network. Christopher Connor (talk) 02:06, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I was going to send it to AfD myself. I'm refraining from adding any other companies to Wikipedia until this is resolved. I am also going to update the site again before a final decision is made. Thank you. Dankim1180 (talk) 18:40, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Not to throw off the work... but have you asked User:Sodabottle? I consider him our expert on Indian films... and he can translate many of the sources that I could not. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 00:11, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll leave him a note. Even with just the English sources though I think there might be enough for notability. Christopher Connor (talk) 00:15, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Balotelli comment

First off, please do NOT place your comments in the Archive area of my Talk Page - show a little courtesy to the page organization of other users. As for the comment I removed, it is old news. All that comment did is document that that user had corrected an obvious typo in one of my edits (at least I assume it was one of mine). It was a nice courtesy but it was unnecessary because no one is seriously suggesting that Balotelli is a defender, and no one had subsequently reverted his correction. All I did was a bit of tidying up. Please feel free to delete this message once you've read it. Mancini's Lasagne invite to Harry ^Talk 16:21, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

I apologise if I placed my comment in the wrong area. However, I created a new section using the tab at the top which automatically places the comment in a level 2 heading unless there are other level headings, like the level 3 headings in your user talk page. I did not see that you had created a level 2 "archive" heading at the bottom (with level 3 subheadings)--so the new section was automatically placed in this section--if I had I would have manually edited the whole page. There was no note at the top where you might warn other editors of this organisation structure, and most user talk pages do not generally have such a structure. Please assume a little faith that I did not purposely disrupt your talk page organisation. The talk page guidelines are clear that your removal of another editor's comments was not justified (unlike my comments on your talk page). Christopher Connor (talk) 17:32, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Science in the Middle Ages

Shaun Murphy

Just a quick word about the references which you are adding. If snooker.org is a reliable source (which I have no reason to doubt), why are you using so many different sources? It doesn't need a bbc or newspaper report on every match to be linked if you are simply giving the result. For example, this page could be used to ref all of Murphy's 2005 WC results. It would look something like this:

• Murphy defeated former world champions John Higgins (13–8), Steve Davis (13–4) and Peter Ebdon (17–12), to reach the final.

This cuts down on your references and makes life a lot easier. You only need to use the other refs if you want to mention something from a match such as a frame score (if it is not given on snooker.org) or a recovery from a deficit. This is quite common in cricket articles, for example, which have passed FA, and most sports use this method. Persondata is explained here and is very straightforward. Finally, be careful with the citation needed tags: no article can pass GA with these in place, so they all need dealing with. --Sarastro1 (talk) 22:52, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

It is to give links where people can read more about the match rather than just confirm the scoreline. Otherwise we may as well just have a table of results. If however it's not necessary I will no longer use this method. Do you think I should cut down the refs and replace with the general tournament info? Snooker.org is a strange one in that it appears to be reliable--and no one has raised any issues about it--but also it seems a self-published website. Christopher Connor (talk) 23:07, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

I think it would be better just to cut down the refs and give the scoreline unless you want to say more about the match. This is the procedure followed by most sports GAs that I have seen, and most FAs too, come to think of it. As far as snooker.org goes, I'm happy with its reliabilty for now. There's not really a precedent to show it is reliable or not, and when/if this went to FAC, someone may challenge it. The other option is to take it to WP:RS. But for now, I'd use it as it is quick and simple. --Sarastro1 (talk) 00:15, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Passed it now. Well done. --Sarastro1 (talk) 21:45, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! That was hard work but finally done. Christopher Connor (talk) 21:50, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Jewish lawyers

Hi, I did the initial patrol and a few tweaks to your article and made a few suggestions - all however from the perspective of a copyeditor. I'm neither a Jew nor a lawyer, but I feel calling notable Jewish lawyer section a G10 was a bit harsh. However, one of the critics is a Jewish lawyer and a WIkipedia admin (AFAIK), and he may be right. Anyway, I liked the article whether it is encyclopedic or not. Good luck.
BTW, since you are a lawyer and an experienced Wikipedian, have you thought of getting engaged in some of our policy discussions? (W:RfA, WP:BLP, etc?). --Kudpung (talk) 05:59, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment. When I wrote the article I didn't think it would be so damaging to put a section like that with the other stereotype stuff since the stereotypes are clearly just that. I suppose it is a slightly unusual BLP issue and not the everyday negative unsourced stuff. I'm not really too experienced, created my account in 2007 but didn't edit in 2008/9 and have only edited for the last three months. :) Christopher Connor (talk) 06:11, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Shaun Murphy (snooker player)

If you it was a minor-ranking event, then i must say that in the previous two season it was not ranking. Thus it was a less important tournament. That Murphy won in does not change this. The results are already in the article, thus they can be removed from the 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 section respectively. And every edit war needs two participants, why do you not stop either? Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 02:35, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

See Talk:Shaun Murphy (snooker player). The difference is that he won the previous two, whereas this is only a semi-final. As I said on the talk page it's borderline. What annoys me is that you seem to like wielding editorial control over the article. And what do you mean they can be removed? Christopher Connor (talk) 03:09, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Victoria Climbié.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Victoria Climbié.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Soundvisions1 (talk) 16:20, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Hello, Christopher Connor. You have new messages at Soundvisions1's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Thanks for this latest....

Thanks, I much prefer speaking and working together toward the ultimate improvement of the project... and an outright deletion is not the only possibility if something "not quite ready" might ultimately serve the project. Sending it to incubation is a win-win and no one looses face... including the author. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 23:02, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Victoria Climbié.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Victoria Climbié.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free image with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria.

If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the image can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{non-free fair use in|article name that the image is used in}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the image. If the image has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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.
