Image Tagging Image:Iain Overton.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Iain Overton.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Proposed deletion of Michie Ito

The article Michie Ito has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unreferenced, unable to establish notability

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. WWGB (talk) 09:33, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Kisho Kurakawa

A tag has been placed on Kisho Kurakawa requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 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.

Articles for deletion nomination of Mr Smith Goes to Tokyo

I have nominated Mr Smith Goes to Tokyo, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mr Smith Goes to Tokyo. 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.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Beloved Freak 11:53, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would be keen to understand why this article is open for deletion. It provides a coherent and full list of some of the most interesting modern architectural buildings in Tokyo. I intend to add pictures and fuller addresses when I have them. The work that is in this article took many weeks to compile as there is no easily accessible list of modern architectural buildings in Tokyo online or in print.

The documentary was NOT a commercial concern - it never made any money and I think this article is very much in the spirit of learning that Wikipedia should be about. Iainoverton (talk) 17:47, 9 August 2009 (UTC) Iain Overton[reply]

Hi there. The reason I listed this article for deletion is because, as far as I could tell, the information was unverifiable and did not meet notability guidelines for inclusion. Please have a look at those links - the first one is official policy. I could find nothing in google to verify your information, and you provided no other sources. Information needs to be attributed to reliable sources. The main reason I couldn't find anything on your film seems to be because you listed the article as "Mr Smith Goes to Tokyo" rather than "Mr Smith Takes A Short Trip To Tokyo", which didn't help things. After having looked for it under this title, I'm still not sure that the film meets notability guidelines for inclusion in Wikipedia. If you know of any non-trivial coverage of the film in reliable sources, please mention them at the deletion discussion.

I'd also recommend that you read Wikipedia:Autobiography. Wikipedia editors are seriously discouraged from writing articles about themselves or things that they are directly involved in. I certainly don't mean to discourage you from editing here. Maybe, given your interest in Japanese architecture, you could focus on those kind of articles. Best wishes, --Beloved Freak 18:49, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Iainoverton! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 3 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Nima Elbagir - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 21:47, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A belated welcome!

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Iainoverton. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions.

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! -- Trevj (talk) 11:04, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Autobiographical contributions

Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at Iain Overton. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you. -- Trevj (talk) 11:04, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
