[edit] Speedy deletion of Jamespot

A tag has been placed on Jamespot, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.

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 (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Even if the article wasn't meant as an advertisement, It's not clear that this site meets the notability guideline. In fact, since it doesn't even assert encyclopedic notability, this article is a candidate for speedy deletion on those grounds. — Scientizzle 17:07, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] reply

Thanks for your note. The problem with the article is that it sounds like an ad; it lacks context; and it doesn't go far enough to establish notability. I think your intentions are good, but you'll have to address these issues or you'll likely find that someone else will put the article up for deletion. --Pgagnon999 (talk) 17:07, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Again, you'll have to significantly address WP:Notability and context.--Pgagnon999 (talk) 17:27, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:2008 jamespot logo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:2008 jamespot logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 10:08, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
