Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on This Beautiful Republic, by Nuttah68 (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because This Beautiful Republic 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: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting This Beautiful Republic, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 11:28, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Fire.jpg, by Strangerer, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Fire.jpg is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

- It's an empty description page for a Commons-hosted image. This shouldn't be a controversial deletion. There's nothing on the page. --Strangerer (Talk) 17:21, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
- I think you're misunderstanding. The image will stay. I want to delete the empty description page. --Strangerer (Talk) 17:25, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
- I tagged it for speedy deletion not because it was a missing or corrupt image but because it was an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image. As you can see from the edit history, the page was empty when I tagged it. It should be deleted. The image won't go away when the description page is deleted because the image is on the Commons, not Wikipedia, and the software lets the image show through. --Strangerer (Talk) 17:28, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey! Brilliant idea. Just read ur post and it left me wondering "Now why in the world didn't I think of that???". Of course we can add it. Please - go ahead and add it! ;) Btw, I have come across you making useful contribs before. Just thought I'd let you know that too! If interested, please head over to the Christian music portal which is currently under construction. Please help in any way you can, if you have the time. Thanks! God bless and happy wiki-ing!!! aJCfreak yAk 18:36, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
I have returned the references used to create the article. I know they are not inline citations, but since they were used to create the article they need to be kept. I had an admin restore the This Beautiful Republic article that admins were inappropriately speedy deleting to my userspace. I created an article that was very well-sourced and demonstrated their notability as they were on the charts. I don't understand how they could be speedy deleting well-sourced articles like that one was. Royalbroil 03:07, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Free at Last: The Movie image
I hope you don't mind, but I've put Image:Freeatlastmovie.gif up for deletion because it had no fair use rationale, but mostly because I replaced it with Image:FreeAtLast TheMovie.jpg. Anyway, how have you been doing? --WillMak050389 06:28, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

- Project news
- The demand for fair use rationales for book covers has generated a discussion among wikipedians and also WP:NOVELS members. See the discussion here it has some potentially very important ideas to consider and possibly contribute to.

- Novel related news
What is a novel? What are the elements that must be found in any piece of writing for it to be considered a novel? I think it fair to say that traditional definitions of the word “novel” work along these lines: A novel is a fictitious prose story of book length. In my view, a novel has six basic elements: 1) It must have a society of characters; 2) They must be undergoing transformations; 3) And those must be in the course of a sustained prose narrative; 4) The sustained prose narrative must be impelled by a plot; 5) And it must be unified by clearly discernible central themes; 6) And to the extent possible, it must be universalised by a complex architecture of allegorical and symbolical sub-strata. If I write those six basic elements into a single definition, I come up with this: A novel is a society of characters, undergoing transformations, in the course of a sustained prose narrative, which is impelled by a plot, unified by clearly discernible central themes, and universalised by a complex architecture of allegorical and symbolical sub-strata.

- Current debates
- After lengthy discussions about the {{Infobox_Book}} it has settled down at a possibly permanent layout. Any suggestions are still of course welcome.
- Also the important book cover debate mentioned first above.
