WaTunes

A tag has been placed on WaTunes, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because it is an article about a certain website, blog, forum, or other web content that does not assert the importance or significance of that web location. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles, as well as notability guidelines for websites. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on Talk:WaTunes. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Thanks. TexMurphy 06:44, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Kevinrivers.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:Kevinrivers.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Kevin Rivers

A tag has been placed on Kevin Rivers requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -WarthogDemon 00:25, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

The content pertains to a notable person who has done a notable feet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xandus (talk • contribs)

I've removed the speedy. As of now, the subject doesn't meet the requirements of WP:NOTE or WP:MUSIC. You should try to get the article to meet some more requirements or else it might get tagged again. -WarthogDemon 01:37, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Flagging Kevin Rivers for further review

Hello, Xandus … I recently encountered the article about Kevin Rivers and in my opinion, it either does not verifiably satisfy the Notability criteria for Biographies, or it may violate the Conflict of interest guideline, or perhaps it violates a copyright.

I am considering tagging Kevin Rivers (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) for deletion according to the Deletion policy … I do not have time to examine the article in depth at the moment, and it may improve over time, in which case this warning was premature.

I have created this initial entry on your Talk page because you are either the original author of the article, or else a recent contributor to it; I will leave more detailed information regarding my specific concerns about the article on its Discussion page … please respond either there or on this Talk page, instead of on my Talk page, in order to avoid fragmenting the conversation.

Be sure to read Ownership of articles, and remember that Some Other Editors (including at least one administrator) may not share your opinion about the notability of the article's subject.

I do not mean to imply that your contribution is unappreciated … perhaps you should read Starting an article … and remember, there was a time when I knew less about how Wikipedia works than you know right now.

To better understand why I have used this template, please read Flag templates for deletion warnings ... I realize that some of the expressed possible concerns may not be appropriate in this case. Happy Editing! — 138.88.7.48 (talk · contribs) _{06:47, 12 July 2009 (UTC)}

Response to Verifications

Hi there,

I am currently updating the Kevin Rivers biography with relevant and verifiable data. Please outline which data you deem is unverifiable and I'd be more than happy to verify all my sources and data. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xandus (talk • contribs) 16:25, 12 July 2009

To quote from Wikipedia:Notability:

If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article.

Sources that are not notable enough to have a Wikipedia article (such as BigNews.biz), are by definition not a "reliable source" … web sites associated with the subject are by definition primary sources, and are thus neither "secondary" nor "independent" … you need to find coverage from a publication like Billboard, or some other respectable trade journal or news service. — 138.88.7.48 (talk) 17:54, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Hey there,

I will go ahead and update the profile with relevant sources. Please give me up to a few days to make the changes. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xandus (talk • contribs) 01:41, 13 July 2009
