Speedy deletion nomination of Denan James Levi Charles

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Denan James Levi Charles 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 the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can 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 a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. Pichpich (talk) 15:09, 20 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Re: Jeffrey Monakana & Jack King

edit

Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. We have specific guidelines as to which subjects should and should not have articles. This is called notability. Subjects which have received significant coverage in reliable sources are considered notable. There is also a football specific guideline, which says that footballers are notable if they have played in a fully pro league. For England this means playing in a league fixture in League Two or higher, or an FA Cup fixture between to clubs playing in the top four divisions. The guideline explicitly excludes the case of these two players, saying that players who have signed but not played in a competitive fixture are not notable. In this regard, pre-season friendlies do not count as competitive matches. The fact that they cannot have played a league fixture yet is all the more reason that they should not have articles, at least not yet. The articles may, of course, be recreated if and when they make their respective debuts for Preston North End.

On an unrelated point, when posting things to a talk page or to a discussion, please type for tildes (~~~~) after your post. Doing so displays your username and the time and date. Doing so makes easier to determine who said what and when. Best Regards. Sir Sputnik (talk) 03:34, 29 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Ok, you win, the articles are back :) Could you note the deletion and recrations on the talk pages, (and maybe add some more citations?) Mark Arsten (talk) 19:33, 13 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
No probs, how do I do that, I'll add more Citations after the match, Monakana is having an amazing game, I'll thank him for the info he provided on twitter later, and Jack king, Scored on his full Debut tonight ;) Half time Preston 2 - 0 Huddersfield! Booyah ;)

RE: User:SonicElise

Hello. The data that was posted on Wikipedia was potentially damaging, as it contained a lot of personal information that is not safe for publication. The person in question is not quite yet notable enough for an article of her own. Please have a look at our notability guidelines for more information. — foxj 11:03, 20 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.

Has my request gone through yet? I've received no replies for my undelete request! Failing that, can I have my source code for it back, he is a Blackpool player and a Northern Ireland U19 international, who recently played in the U20's milk cup[1], and he's my nephew. I had the same problems when I did Jeffrey Monakana & Jack King's pages. DaPlayerX (talk) 09:29, 4 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free media (File:Dion Charles in Action for Northern Ireland.jpg)

edit

  Thanks for uploading File:Dion Charles in Action for Northern Ireland.jpg. 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 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. Werieth (talk) 21:20, 12 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
