AfD nomination of Abongo Obama

I have nominated Abongo Obama, 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/Abongo Obama. 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Loonymonkey (talk) 03:25, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

A "new" article for Malik Obama----

is sure to be nominated for deletion; so I've actually done so myself here even though I believe it now passes muster due to Maliks multiple press mentions (which had not yet been catalogued when contributors had so very recently weighed in on its "Obongo" iteration. Please be patient with this proposal while those interested weight in again. (I'm notifying those who commented.) — Justmeherenow (   ) 06:16, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

The article The Denver Group has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki (talk) 03:02, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Roland Carnaby

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Roland Carnaby, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Fred Malek disagreements

Hello Yellow Rain, it seems we have some disagreements about what to include and how to represent some information on the Malek page. I removed the dog incident sub-section again and revised the section on the SEC action, and I've explained my thinking on the Talk page. Let's try working this out so we don't just go back and forth reverting each other. But in brief, my main points are that the dog incident is not relevant to Malek's notability and could pose a WP:BIO problem, while the SEC section included too much information not about Thayer/Malek specifically. Curious to hear your thoughts. --Loudon clear (talk) 00:59, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Link at Rick Davis (politics)

Huh. My bad. Should've clicked through and figured out it was an interview instead of deleting. Thanks for fixing my mistake. RayAYang (talk) 01:37, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Your edit about charlie black

Do you have a source for the claim he fundraised for the Democratic National Committee? It seems out of character for a Republican operative. RayAYang (talk) 04:59, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Provided. It's not at all uncharacteristic for these guys to blatantly work both sides of the aisle. They do it all the time. Yellow Rain (talk) 05:05, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Looking at your source, it seems that Peter Kelly, a business partner of Black's, was the DNC affiliate. Accordingly, I've moved the reference further down and removed the paragraph. RayAYang (talk) 05:35, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

huh, you're right. I was eyeballing too many lobbyist bios when I wrote that yesterday. Yellow Rain (talk) 01:10, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Remark -- according to WP:BLP#Sources, blogs and other self-published sites should never be used as sources for a bio of a living person. I'm a bit worried that Pensito Review may fall into this category; also, there is the issue of Raw News, which appears to be a left-wing propaganda site; that may also not meet the (very high) standards for sources required in biographies of living persons. Can you document the neutrality and reliability of these sources? RayAYang (talk) 05:38, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm inviting your comment

NCPAC

Thanks for alerting me to the new article. I added some of the content from my sandbox article to the live article that you had created. Note, however, that much of what was in my sandbox is in the form of raw notes (including material copied from websites) and thus is not ready for publication in a live article. Even some of what I added to the article needs revision. --Orlady (talk) 03:51, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:TAC logo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:TAC logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:19, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
