Speedy deletion nomination of Art of the Olympians

edit

Hello Yogurtboy,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Art of the Olympians for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 14:42, 8 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Deletion pending for File:AOTO Founder Al Oerter.jpg

edit

Hello, Yogurtboy.

Though there is often a backlog processing messages received at this address, we should have received your message by now.

  • If you have not submitted (or forwarded) a statement of permission, please send it immediately to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and let us know at the OTRS noticeboard that you have done so.
  • If you have already sent this message, it is possible that there was a problem receiving it. Please re-send it to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and let us know at the OTRS noticeboard that you have done so.

AOTO photos

edit

I added a picture of the AOTO. I have many others that would be copy vios to use (the art itself), but I do have some pics of displays that were there, like a bobsled, Olympic uniforms and things like shot puts. Let me know if you think they may help. Niteshift36 (talk) 16:54, 22 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

  • Um, the museum part is an important part of their history. That's mostly where they amassed the art in the first place. It was one of the few places in the US authorized to fly the Olympic flag. I put the building picture back into the article in the history section. Niteshift36 (talk) 14:59, 23 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Apolgies I just saw this - AOTO is now a artist only entity. They are focusing on the connection between sport and art, the promotion of the Olympic and Paralympic athlete. They are no longer doing displays of equipment, etc. The picture of the museum is good in the history section , but AOTO continues and exists without the museum.

  • I'm aware of what it currently is, but we're an encyclopedia, not a newspaper. We recognize the history involved in something. The years that it operated as a museum were significant to its history. I'll add what I feel is appropriate. Niteshift36 (talk) 22:28, 13 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Roald Bradstock, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Olympian and Swimming. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:41, 25 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
