==Reply to [[Ten Floors]]==
There is no assertion of notability in the article other than the fact that they supposedly played in front of 30,00 people ''one time''. Also, everything in the article is compeltely unsourced. I'm going to take a wild stab and guess that you didn't happen to check the Wikilinks for the studio albums and singles. Those are good for a laugh because they are completely unrelated to the band. The article may look legitimate, but the subject is in no way notable. I would encourage you to prove otherwise. I'm considering reapplying the speedy tag. Why don't you let an admin take a look at it? --[[User:Cyrus Andiron|<font face="Bookman Old Style"><font color="#CFB53B">Cyrus</font></font>]]  [[User Talk:Cyrus Andiron|<font face="Bookman Old Style"><font color="#CFB53B">Andiron</font></font>]] 13:44, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

*The main assertion of notability is that they won a regional music competition. Whether or not this is enough can be debated at AFD, but it doesn't meet the CSD in my opinion. [[User:Darksun|Darksun]] 13:48, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
**Anyone can say that they won a regional competition, but where is the proof? Are we just taking that statement on the merit of the editor? --[[User:Cyrus Andiron|<font face="Bookman Old Style"><font color="#CFB53B">Cyrus</font></font>]]  [[User Talk:Cyrus Andiron|<font face="Bookman Old Style"><font color="#CFB53B">Andiron</font></font>]] 13:53, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

****Thanks for taking a look over the Ten Floors page that has I've been updating today. This is my first attempt on Wikipedia, so please forgive this afternoon's lack of sources/references.

== Speedy deletion ==
Thank you for deleting that "article".  I was actually trying to leave a comment on someone else's talk page using the comment tool and somehow it created an article.  It's a little odd to say the least.  I edited the originator's talk page to let them know of the issue.  --'''[[user:BlindEagle|<span style="color:black;">Blind</span>]][[user:BlindEagle|<span style="color:blue;">Eagle</span>]]'''<sup style="color:red;">[[User talk:BlindEagle|<span style="color:red;">talk</span>]]~[[Special:Contributions/BlindEagle|<span style="color:red;">contribs</span>]]</sup> 15:43, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

==de-speedying of various footballers==
Hi. [[WP:BIO]] states that playing in a professional league ''may'' be evidence of notability. "Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included". If all professional footballers are immediately notable then 100s of 1000s of them are! Surely there must be additional evidence? [[User:Andyjsmith|andy]] 21:03, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

*Yes, but playing in a professional league gives enough assertion of notability not to qualify for CSD A7. If you wish to submit the articles for consideration at AFD, you can do so and each article can be considered individually. [[User:Darksun|Darksun]] 21:10, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

== SparkPeople ==

Thanks for removing the speedy deletion tags on [[SparkPeople]].  What can I do to make sure it doesn't keep getting tagged?  [[User:Jknepfle|Jknepfle]] 16:48, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

*I'm not really sure WHY it was tagged, it's notable and it isn't blatant advertising (though one or two sentences could be a little too promotional). You could try the [[WP:RFC|rfc procedure]], this will help bring in a wider view of the article and see what suggestions can be made to improve it.

Okay, maybe it's not G1, strictly, but it doesn't fall under any other cat, except maybe G4, and you can see from [[User_talk:Leolionxxx|Leolionnxxx's talk page]] it was deleted before, and he was told not to recreate it. —[[User:Ignatzmice|Ignatzmice]][[User talk:Ignatzmice|<sup>talk</sup>]][[Special:Contributions/Ignatzmice|<sub>contribs</sub>]] 16:23, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

*G4 only applies to articles previously deleted as the result of an AFD, not previously speedied articles. If it doesn't fall under any speedy criteria, then it can't be speedied. [[User:Darksun|Darksun]] 16:34, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

==[[IGI Global]]==

hello, I'm new on en-wiki and perhaps I missed the discussion on notability criteria for international publishers - if there was one, please, give me a link. In my field IGI Global is pretty big, more info can be found quite easily [http://www.igi-pub.com/about/ here]. Just [http://www.google.com/search?hl=pl&rlz=1B3GGGL_plUS243US243&q=%22IGI+Global%22&btnG=Szukaj&lr= sheer volume] of google hits is also a hint. Finally, you can look at academic libraries, such as at [[Harvard University]], to find [http://lms01.harvard.edu/F/1GPL4AGG262M93DYM7X4J5TTMLQJ4Y3H7X3UKI7JLDEX1I1FDG-24937?func=find-c&CCL_TERM=%28WIP%3D%28IDEA+Group%29+OR+WIP%3D%28IGI+Global%29+%29&adjacent=1 hundreds] of their books there... Is it notable and verifiable enough? Please advice. [[User:Pundit|<span style="color: blue;">Pundit</span>]]|[[User talk:Pundit|<span style="color: green;">utter</span>]] 21:44, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

*The criteria would be [[WP:CORP]], which it probably meets. However, there has to be evidence that it meets the criteria within the article itself. [[User:Darksun|Darksun]] 01:39, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

==Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Darwinia.jpeg==
Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Darwinia.jpeg]]'''. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]] carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline]] is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images/media|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|media copyright questions page]].

A tag has been placed on [[:Alan Dix]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#A7|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 important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], such articles may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:Notability|see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable]]. 

If you think that your page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Alan Dix|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with [[Wikipedia:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]].

== New deal for page patrollers ==

Hi {{BASEPAGENAME}},

In order to  better control the quality  of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the [[WP:Page Curation|current system we introduced in 2011]] is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group '''New Page Reviewer''' has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed.  However, this is nothing to worry about - most ''current'' experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Reviewers|'''''New Page Reviewers''''']] and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying.
