Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles that you have created yourself. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please place {{hangon}} on the page and make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. --ArmadilloFromHell 15:43, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] License tagging for Image:Hammond,scott.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Hammond,scott.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 16:07, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
You will possibly have more success with an article on Scott Hammond himself rather than just create a page on his work, as it looks like blatent advertising Images should have a fair use tag added to them {{fair use}} plus you need to explain why it is fair use for us to have this picture.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but 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.
Feel free to re-submit a new version of the article. 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 include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I irrevocably release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later, for use on Wikipedia and elsewhere."
You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. You can also leave a message on my talk page. Wikipedian27 16:09, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Scott Hammond
A tag has been placed on Scott Hammond, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable. If you can indicate why Scott Hammond is really notable, you can contest the tagging. To do this, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and leave a note on Talk:Scott Hammond, explaining how Scott Hammond is notable. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.
Please read the criteria for speedy deletion (specifically, article #7) and our general biography criteria. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. — ERcheck (talk) 18:24, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
- Saw your article was up for speedy deletion, and just wanted to offer a suggestion as to how to combat it.
- Generally speaking, a personal site isn't accepted as the only mark of somebody's notability. A lot of people have personal sites, and they aren't notable for it. The best thing to do would be to find a couple of other sources about Hammond, talking about his project, and link those; newspaper articles work, as do gallery notices and exhibit reviews. If you have some kind of print source - an exhibition notice, or a catalogue with a bio - cite that as well. It's not as easily checked, but it's usually a good mark of notability.
- Hope this helps! --User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 19:49, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
Albert,
Thank you so much for your helpful suggestions. I found several citaions and articles on Hammond and his work. I've added them to the page. Hope that helps. Thanks again!

- My pleasure. I went ahead and added a couple of category tags to the article, and stubbed it as well - this means that it's marked for further expansion if anybody else wants to work on it.
- Happy editing! --User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 02:21, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
I deleted an image on Scott Hammond and you added it back. Note that the image has been tagged for speedy deletion, and should not be in the article. --ArmadilloFromHell 21:59, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
Actually, I did not add that second image. I don't know who did that. I have removed it. Thanks for the heads up.
- It is a little confusing, but it's back in order. Here is what happened (look at the history). I removed the image with a note (Remove image - since is not eligible for use) since at that point the image was marked for for speedy deletion. You then put it back in, and I posted the note above; but before you answered me, someone added a second image (which was the one you thought I complained about) and you removed it, I just put that one it back in, since at some point during that whole sequence, both the images got changed and were no longer set for speedy deletion. --ArmadilloFromHell 02:36, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate it.
