Proposed deletion of Henry Hyde (Kayaker)

The article Henry Hyde (Kayaker) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Wikipedia:Notability (sports)

I'm sorry, but I had to undo your edits to the article with notability guidelines for sports. Your efforts to establish guidelines for a specific sport are appreciated. However, you can't make those up by yourself--they need to have broad consensus among Wikipedia editors. Feel free to propose them on the article's talk page, Wikipedia talk:Notability (sports). Let me point out also that such guidelines will need to be broader--your proposal seemed to count only Olympics and US events. Thank you for your initiative, Drmies (talk) 05:03, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Henry-02.JPG

Thanks for uploading File:Henry-02.JPG. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 15:06, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

The issue is, did you take the picture youself? If you did, you can add one of the tags at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#For image creators. If you did not, then the picture does not belong on Wikipedia. StAnselm (talk) 02:53, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
