AfD nomination of Fotios

I have nominated Fotios, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fotios.

Fotios

I reverted your edit because the outcome of the AfD was a clear re-direct since an article on the name did not meet Wikipedia's guidelines. I ask that you please respect community consensus and not re-create the article. _{TravellingCari}^{the Busy Bee} 03:00, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of SQUARE methodology

A tag has been placed on SQUARE methodology requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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), coupled with adding a note on the 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Beeblbrox (talk) 06:49, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Seasoned pecora cheese.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Seasoned pecora cheese.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) 07:06, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Breil Tribe

A tag has been placed on Breil Tribe, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of Breil Tribe and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Hairhorn (talk) 16:22, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of The Binda Group

A tag has been placed on The Binda Group requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an 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. Hairhorn (talk) 16:23, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Cologne Cathedral

These reason for deletion is that your information is exactly as you described it on my page, a "trivia" fact. Once Sagrada Familia is complete, then a statement that Cologne's spires are the third highest in the world will be made. What interests us in the introduction of any article are the facts most relevant to that particular topic. The proposed height of an unfinished building is not of high relevance to the present topic. It is merely a piece of trivia. Should I also include, in the introduction pertaining specifically to Cologne, that the medieval spires of Lincoln Cathedral and St Olaf's Cathedral were both taller? And that the top of the cross on the Basilica in Yamoussoukro is taller, but not a spire? These things are true, and are just as interesting as your piece of trivia, but none of them tell us anything of importance about Cologne.

I want to impress on you that although all this trivia is interesting, and some people like to know it, it doesn't belong in the introduction of an article unless it is really relevant. If you want to know about tall churches then find the List of tallest churches in the world and don't shove Sagrada Familia in at the top of the list, until the day that its height surpasses that of Ulm Minster. The other point that I want to make is that although "height" is a buzz-word that your average reader can grasp and say "Wow!" about, Cologne Cathedral is just as impressive for some of its other features as for the height of its spires. Amandajm (talk) 04:29, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Ok, based on what you say, isn't "For four years, 1880-84, it was the tallest structure in the world, until the completion of the Washington Monument." a piece of trivia that does not belong in the introduction? I mean surely the fact that a world famous cathedral is building to be taller is more interesting than this old, long forgotten record.

Response: The sentence you have quoted is relevant because it is a definite fact about the subject matter: Cologne Cathedral. That is one of the interesting parts of Cologne Cathedral's history. A fact about the proposed completion of another building may be very interesting indeed, but regardless of that, as yet, it doesn't pertain in any way. Once the spire on Sagrada Familia is complete, then the article on Cologne will be upgraded to say that its spire is surpassed by Sagrada Familia and Ulm Minster. Unil that happens, the prososed height of an unfinished building does not belong in the introduction of article about a different building. Right now, it is trivia, not encyclopedic information.

Did you actually read what I wrote about, Lincoln, St Olaf's and the like? Please take a look at the points that I have made here.

Amandajm (talk) 07:57, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I think I get your point now. I did a quick look-see and I noticed that all such wikipedia articles avoid mentioning plans, intentions, etc. in the intros and only stick to what has happened up to the last time the article was edited. I did notice some of them were offering such trivia as mine, and using future tenses, in later article sections. Can I add my trivia in another section? Thank you for your efforts. By the way, why are you responding on my talk page? I thought this convo started on yours. Or is this just another etiquette thing that I don't know about? Lonwolve (talk) 17:43, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Re the etiquette of response. I don't think that there is any set way of responding, unless the person you are comunicating with expresses a preference. I really don't mind either way. Amandajm (talk) 12:26, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Re: Fishing rod backrest

First of all, I haven't really deleted the information, I've just redirected it. Which means you are free to check the last versions of the article, pick the useful information, and add it to the main article. If I was familiarized with fishing equipment, I would do the adding myself, but since I'm not, I'll leave the task for people who understand about it, people like you. Why having such a short page when we can just add those few lines to the Fishing rod page? I don't question the usefulness of the page, I question the necessity for a separated page. If you have more info on the subject, then its ok to create a stub, but not that short. It is only a sentence, which could be easily added to fishing rod article, that's the point I'm trying to make. Victão Lopes ^{I hear you...} 19:58, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Just a question...if you think the information is so important and that Wikipedia gets poorer without it, why don't you just add it to Fishing rod page? Probably nobody is going to remove it from the article, provided you use those external links as sources. Also, I presumed you had something to do with it because you introduced the page, and you seem really upset that I redirected it. I'm sorry if I was wrong. Victão Lopes ^{I hear you...} 21:31, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Ok man, sorry if I was too fast. Next time I will act with more caution. Victão Lopes ^{I hear you...} 23:59, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Fishing rod do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Epipelagic (talk) 22:28, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. [1] MrOllie (talk) 16:59, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
