Speedy deletion nomination of True North Industries

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on True North Industries 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 an organization or company, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Recent edits to London Knights

You recently added File:2019 London Knights Logo.png to the London Knights article, and claimed that you personally created the logo and have the right to release it from copyright. What proof do you have that you personally control the copyright of the team's logo? Flibirigit (talk) 17:50, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, my name is Jason and I work for the London Knights. I am helping to alter the logo that the team officially released today. The best proof I can offer you is showing you my access to the official social media channels. Jaymcarth (talk) 20:47, 12 August 2019 (UTC) Jason[reply]

Thanks for the reply. It is best to keep the whole discussion on the same page, so I have moved it here. As for the logo, we will need to delete the image on the commons and reload it to Wikipedia with a proper copyright license. Since you work for the team directly, I assume you can have limited use of the logo, but uploading it as your own is not entirely correct. Basically, because the team and/or league controls the copyright, it needs a difference license. Also, you might be perceived to have a conflict of interest in editing the article directly. I will seek advice here, and have another editor contact you here. If you don't mind waiting until later tonight or the morning, I can fix the logo for you. Thanks.

Hi Jaymcarth and welcome to Wikipedia. My name is HickoryOughtShirt?4 and I am an administrator on Wikipedia. I first want to thank you for trying to improve the accuracy of Wikipedia. While Wikipedia is the Encyclopedia anyone can edit, we do have a few policies and regulation you might not have known about. I must first say that you must disclose your conflict of interest on your user page (red link where your username is). You do so by following the guidelines at WP:DISCLOSE. Secondly, it is advised you avoid editing articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors. This is because it affects the neutrality of the article. If you wish to make substantial edits, you should use an edit request format. An experienced editor will review it and if it is neutrally worded (per WP:NPOV) and well sourced (WP:RS) it will likely be accepted. If not, the editor will explain why in detail. Speaking frankly, us volunteer editors often resent that paid or conflict of interest editors write non-neutrally, displaying obvious bias toward themselves or their clients, and write promotionally. A neutral point of view is one of the five pillars of Wikipedia, and is non-negotiable. Hopefully this helped you. I suggest browsing our COI guideline page as well. Feel free to ask further questions here or at the ever friendly WP:TEAHOUSE. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 22:33, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hey everyone. Thank you for the help with this. My apologies for the way this was added - my perception of the process was clearly wrong. Flibrigit, if you are able to fix this yourself that would be fantastic. I am still learning regarding the world of Wikipedia and how edits work. In the changes I made, I included the new accurate colour codes (FF#) issued from the team. Thank you on behalf of the organization for helping us to keep everything accurate! Jaymcarth (talk) 00:19, 13 August 2019 (UTC)Jason[reply]

I will fix the logo licensing tonight, and update the colours shortly. Thanks. Flibirigit (talk) 01:23, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Are you able to use the previous uploads' resolution? I understand that file will have to be deleted due to the way it was uploaded, but the resolution, especially as a preview in "Siri Knowledge" for Apple devices, is not the best. Thank you for completing the edits though, it is much appreciated! Jaymcarth (talk) 13:48, 13 August 2019 (UTC) Jason[reply]

Unfortunately no, copyright logos must be a low resolution to adhere to fair use regulations. Basically, a high resoultion image would allow anyone to copy it, and use it to represent themselves on behalf of the team and or league which could lead to a lawsuit.

I have omitted the {{request edit}} template you opened at Talk:London Knights. Please use edit request templates only for requests to add information and already uploaded images to the article. As the image has not yet been uploaded, the current request is not actionable. Please note that you may also make use of the files for upload service to request that an image be uploaded for you.
