The golden age of hip hop for deletion?

Wikipedia:WikiProject Punk music

Whats up? Hi, I'm trying to gather some more interest and support for the Wikipedia:WikiProject Punk music. Please check out the topics and lets get our WikiProject to function better. Recently, I've taken an interest in the Wikipedia:WikiProject hip hop and I consider that WikiProject to be better developed. I am now writing to usernames on the hiphopWP who might be interested in helping with the punkmusicWP. Hopefully we can all work together to improve articles relating to punk as has been done well with hip hop. Finally, I am trying to gather support and opinions concerning the punk house article and specifically the Theta Beta Potata article which is currently in AfD (x2) at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Theta Beta Potata (second nomination). Please check it out and voice your opinion. Xsxex 09:18, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:AZ1.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:AZ1.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 13:09, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of List of PlayStation Portable Wi-Fi games

I have nominated List of PlayStation Portable Wi-Fi games, an article you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of PlayStation Portable Wi-Fi games (2nd nomination). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Redirect of List of PlayStation Portable WiFi games

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on List of PlayStation Portable WiFi games, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because List of PlayStation Portable WiFi games is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting List of PlayStation Portable WiFi games, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Disambiguation link notification for October 20

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Charlotte, North Carolina, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Concord (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Northlake Mall (Charlotte) may have broken the syntax by modifying 5 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Monroe Expressway

You mention in your comment update (and not in the talk page) that maybe its time for its own page. I'm going to say no to that. Reason, it is currently under construction (for now) and there isn't much to say about it than what's already shown. When it completes, then we may look into it being broken out, though I would prefer leaving in U.S. Route 74 because it is U.S. Route 74; we have a similar situation with U.S. Route 278 in South Carolina. For now, let's cross that bridge when we get there. --WashuOtaku (talk) 22:02, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of The Bridges at Mint Hill

The article The Bridges at Mint Hill has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Long-dead proposed Shopping center. No secondary sources and no new news since 2013.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
