Welcome!

Hello, Koolfish, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as JoAnne Lorenzana, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard. Thank you.

  • Request not to delete. Someone else developed a similar titled page of 'JoAnne Lorenzana' and I started contributing some information

as I had worked with the artist (as photographer/interviewer or other aspects of production). Previous article I created I already took out prior to the new article of similar name was posted. Request to remove tag of deletion. thanks (advice appreciated)


{{hangon}} Another user created a page with the same title (for the artist). Koolfish is just happy to contribute more information; have worked with the artist on a few occasions and contributed a couple of the captured images in the studio. (FYI) Thanks..

Speedy deletion nomination of JoAnne Lorenzana

edit
 

A tag has been placed on JoAnne Lorenzana requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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.
