Notability of political parties
editCan you help me please? On the discussion page of the list of political parties you say that pretty much everyone is agreed that "The electoral register is a reliable source (obviously), and any party listed on it gets an entry on this page" I have tried untill i am blue in the face to get someone else to add Best of a Bad Bunch to the list of parties. Partly because I did not want to be charged with self promotion and partly because i dont really know what i am doing. Absolutely no one offered to help. In desperation I tried to edit it myself. A day later my edit had been undone by someone that clearly has not read the discussion page on the grounds of notability and self promotion. I have asked for help on the discussions page weeks ago..... not a peep. I have tried to find help on freenet chat and no one has the guts to undo the deletion because of the numnber of stupid barnstars the deleter has got on his user page. I am about at the point now where i am going to do that myself and get involved in a do/undo war that i can not possibly win and all i am trying to do is update an out of date list. There has to be a better way. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.5.92.33 (talk) 11:21, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
I have just realised that i was not logged in when i left that message. andylear —Preceding unsigned comment added by Andylear (talk • contribs) 16:26, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
- Hi Andylear. Sorry for the delay - I'm not on wikipedia that much these days.
- In the discussion you're referring to, at Talk:List of political parties in the United Kingdom#Minor parties - links?, I said that I thought an entry in the electoral register was enough to get listed on that page. I no longer think that's true, since all one has to do to get added to the electoral register is send a few quid to the electoral commission. I think to meet Wikipedia's notability criteria, you'd have to find at least one other third-party source as well. --HughCharlesParker (talk - contribs) 10:59, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (File:XtrilogyDVD.jpg)
editThanks for uploading File:XtrilogyDVD.jpg. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).
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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. FileBot (talk) 06:18, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
- I didn't upload it, I shrunk it because it was too big as an non-free file. I've left a bug report at User talk:FileBot#Bug - sending a warning message to the wrong user. --HughCharlesParker (talk - contribs) 10:47, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Josephine Harrison
editThe article Josephine Harrison has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- only assertion of notability as a candidate who... definitely didn't win. So to be mentioned for sure in the constituency article, but no evidence of meriting her own
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. Saalstin (talk) 16:09, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
