However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude2 (talk) 04:02, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
Your CSD work
editYou have an incorrect interpretation of WP:CSD A1. I would also suggest you do not tag pages quite so quickly, you tagged one of my pages within a few seconds of its creation. There is no harm in giving the author some time to work on it if it looks promising. jorgenev 06:09, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
- I do? Sorry! Also, now that you said that, I feel like I've made too many false positives. Any advice? ThePCKid (talk) 06:10, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
- I also came here to advise you on the same matter. I would read and understand the criteria, in particular "Articles lacking sufficient context to identify the subject of the article." All the articles I've seen you tag with A1 have been of poor quality, but they have at least identified who the subject is. Lankiveil (speak to me) 06:16, 29 May 2011 (UTC).
- Thank you for clearing it up for me! ThePCKid (talk) 06:18, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
- No worries. Mistakes happen, and nobody has a 100% success rate with CSD, but it pays to be absolutely sure before you tag an article. If you have any doubts whatsoever, don't tag it (and consider an alternative procedure like WP:PROD or WP:XFD). Lankiveil (speak to me) 06:25, 29 May 2011 (UTC).

I have removed your speedy deletion tag from List of Aramaic language television channels. Please note that lists which duplicate categories aren't covered by any critreion for speedy deletion. If you want this list deleted, feel free to nominate it at Articles for Deletion. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 07:11, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Uragasmanhandiya
editHello ThePCKid. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Uragasmanhandiya, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Contains sufficient content to be a stub. Thank you. Salvio Let's talk about it! 21:08, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
- Sorry; I'm new to patrolling pages. --ThePCKid (talk) 21:10, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
- No problem. Before continuing, however, I'd like to invite you to read a few pages which can help you to greatly improve your CSD tagging: Wikipedia:Field guide to proper speedy deletion, User:SoWhy/Ten Commandments for Speedy Deletion, User:SoWhy/Common A7 mistakes and Wikipedia:Why I Hate Speedy Deleters.
Speedy deletion is extremely important; it's actually necessary, but it's also, possibly, the most WP:BITEy area around, because you're basically telling newbies we don't want their articles; that's why the error rate must be kept at a minimum. If you read those pages (I periodically brush up on my CSD policy, to make sure I'm not misinterpreting policy), you should be able to avoid many of the most common mistakes. Please keep up the good work! Salvio Let's talk about it! 21:25, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Declined speedy
editHi ThePCKid -
I just want you to know that I declined the speedy on Hildenley - towns are nearly always notable. Hey, I'm seeing several from you tonight that maybe aren't quite on target. Want to slow down a little? - Philippe 07:40, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
- It's also worth reading carefully the criteria for A3 under which you nominated it for deletion: "an article that contains no content whatsoever, or consists only of external links, category tags, a "see also" section, a rephrasing of the title, an attempt to correspond with the person or group named by its title, chat-like comments and/or images.". This article was pretty minimal, but it did contain content. It told you that Hildenley is a village (as opposed to a rock band or a race horse) and told you where it is, in some detail and with full geog context (ie includes both local and country info), and included coordinates. That is not "no content whatsover", nor does it come into the other categories above. Please be more careful. PamD (talk) 08:16, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
Korean College articles
editJust a heads up that I declined the A3 CSD tags on the articles created by User:Tsuchiya Hikaru. You can find the articles listed in the editor's talk page history. I realize that you were helping replace the CSD tags after the article creator removed the notices. I also let the editor that originally placed the tags know that I declined the deletions. They were declined due to clear presence of article content. While the articles are stubs in need of references, content was quite evident (however scant). Don't let this discourage you. We've all been on a learning curve with Wikipedia. Better days are ahead. Hang in there and don't give up. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions.
