[edit] Notability of The Individuals (Chicago band)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on The Individuals (Chicago band), by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because The Individuals (Chicago band) 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 The Individuals (Chicago band), 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.

[edit] The Celebrity Apprentice: Team Columns

The other The Apprentice articles don't use that format, breaking the consistency if this one is applied. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tam001 (talk • contribs) 21:03, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Celebrity Apprentice suggestions

Yeah, your format might be better. I'd still recommend changing the text in team names to bold display, since the boxes have color. As for the results, you should probably change "1st fired" to "fired in task (or episode) 1", because multiple firings will probably occur and it'd be strange to list two people as "2nd fired", for example. Oh, and thanks for the tip. Tam001 (talk) 22:56, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Infobox Sailboat Specifications

I´m affraid I don´t know either how to limit both width and heigth... I myself still find 180 px too large for cases like Snipe (dinghy), but it´s not a big problem, and much better than 250 px. Thanks for writing.--Banderas (talk) 22:00, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Landmaster

The article cannot stand on its own. You're talking about a subjective view of notability, which is not valid. The topic will never stand on its own, so it is best to leave it as a redirect. I'll put it up for deletion soon if you're persistent on keeping it. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arwing and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Great Fox for the definite outcome of it. TTN (talk) 21:02, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Articles on fictional topics must have information pertaining to their creation and reception (i.e. "The idea for the Landmaster came from..."). This topic does not have it. You are welcome to include information under a general header describing all of the main vehicles in the series somewhere in the main article. There is nothing to warrant an article.

[edit] Terminator

It was decided a long time ago at Talk:Terminator (character) that there was not enough evidence to reference it is a T-800 or T-850 or whatever. We came to a decision to either have it the way it is now in the Terminator (character concept) article, to use Model 101, or just to use "The Terminator". Unless consensus has changed, it should probably be the way it has been. ColdFusion650 (talk) 19:28, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hatnotes

Please don't remove hatnotes from biographical articles, as you did in this edit to John Connor, when you removed {{otherpeople|John Connor}}. The hatnote is essential, because it is the only way that a reader can find the other people named John Connor, who are listed at John Connor (disambiguation). Thanks. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 00:51, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing that, it was unintentional on my part. —MJBurrage(T•C) 03:50, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Gotham map

Some minor edits are non-issues, such as cropping, "cutting-out" an element, or color correcting to the image original colors. And a few, like desaturating backgrounds to force emphasis, while pushing it, are seen as acceptable.

Changing an image to the point where it is a derivative work though isn't acceptable since it stops being fair use. Whether you assert it or not, it's your work, not the image the fair use rationale is based on. - J Greb (talk) 23:27, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Bill Jaaska

A tag has been placed on Bill Jaaska 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 person or group of people, 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 indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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 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.

Sorry if you feel you didn't have an opportunity to fix the article. However, it didn't have enough substantive content to be included on Wikipedia; if you'd like, you can recreate it in your userspace (for example, User:MJBurrage/Bill Jaaska) and work on it there before moving it to the mainspace. Remember to include reliable and verifiable sources. Cheers! Master of Puppets Call me MoP!☺ 21:40, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
Fair enough. I agree that I should've given at least a few minutes. Cheers, Master of Puppets Call me MoP!☺ 21:59, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
