Speedy deletion nomination of Fire hose games

A tag has been placed on Fire hose games 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 an organization or company, 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 organizations and companies. 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), 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. noq (talk) 20:11, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Re "sandbox" page

For your convenience I reproduce the last bit of conversation from the talk page of the above-captioned article, which I've just deleted:

OK, it seems like I'm violating Wikipedia's COI guidelines since I'm the founder of the company, my bad. Can I leave the page or should I delete it?

":The page can be moved to your user space at User:Glinert/Fire Hose Games for you to work on, but it definitely needs to have reliable sources showing that it's notable. Blogs are not considered reliable sources; news sources are, as long it's not a press release or a trivial mention. You can visit the Drawing Board to get feedback on your work. ... discospinster _talk 23:58, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

I have taken the liberty of moving the deleted content to User:Glinert/Fire Hose Games as per User:discospinster's excellent suggestion and have copied her comments here for your use. If you have any questions about Wikipedia policy, I'm sure that anyone with whom you've had contact here would be happy to help you, including myself, and there are other methods of obtaining assistance laid out at the top of this page. Best of luck with your future contributions. Accounting4Taste:talk 00:04, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

File source problem with File:FireHoseGamesLogo.png

Thanks for uploading File:FireHoseGamesLogo.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, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 06:33, 20 December 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 06:33, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:ImmuneAttackScanningRBC.JPG

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:ImmuneAttackScanningRBC.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 the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 12:53, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
