Speedy deletion nomination of Barbados Music Teachers

A tag has been placed on Barbados Music Teachers 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 club, but it does not 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guidelines for people and for organizations. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Barbados Organs and Organists

A tag has been placed on Barbados Organs and Organists, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. Moreover, please add more verifiable sources, not only 3rd party sources. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Articles are too short

Please don't create Wikipedia articles that consist only of the title of a book. This is an encyclopedia, not a library card catalog. Please see Wikipedia:Your first article and WP:NOT. NawlinWiki (talk) 03:54, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File copyright problem with File:WP_Caribbiean_Logo.png

Thank you for uploading File:WP_Caribbiean_Logo.png. 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.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Chris G Bot (talk) 00:37, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of John Wesley 300: pioneers, preachers and practitioners

The article John Wesley 300: pioneers, preachers and practitioners has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable book.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 03:52, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Woodie Blackman

A large portion of your article contains material which is linked to this footnote: "Blackman, Dr. Francis., (July 2010). Related by his son Medicine Physician and MD." This appears to be based on oral history or word-of-mouth information. Unless a transcript of this information is published somewhere, such a reference is totally unacceptable as the citation for a majority of the material in an article such as this. It is not considered to be a reliable source, mainly because we have no way of verifying its veracity or even in existence — we only have your say-so, which is wholly insufficient. This article needs more references to material that we can investigate for ourselves to assure that Blackman meets Wikipedia's notability standards. Please read this page and this page for more information. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 04:28, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:550px-Caribbean Portal Banner.png

Thank you for uploading File:550px-Caribbean Portal Banner.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear.

File permission problem with File:Cayman islands stamp 1962.png

Thanks for uploading File:Cayman islands stamp 1962.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too.

Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.
