1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn 10:52, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

You're now an admin, with all that entails. Have fun using the new tools to help the project and as you get comfortable with them help clear out the many backlogs. Feel free to ask if you're unsure about anything and spend some time on the admin reading list to make sure you're following policies. Again though, congrats. - Taxman ^Talk 00:20, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

why this user deleted my article??? it was a translation of another VALID article of our coorporation. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Emontalban (talk • contribs).

Because it was not in English. This is the English Wikipedia, and all articles on it need to be in English. Please consider the Spanish language Wikipedia for your contributions. --Eyrian 11:02, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Why'd you delete the article I made? —The preceding

Signatures do not belong in articles. It's great that you're contributing, but nobody

owns articles. --Eyrian

why did you just delete "the reserve" article? --Jedifromhell 20:32, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Because they do not satisfy the

Wikipedia requirements for notability. --Eyrian

why not?Jedifromhell 10:15, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Allow me to clarify, the article did not assert notability. That is to say, no mention was made of them doing anything that would qualify as notable under the

Wikipedia policy for musical notability. --Eyrian

The unsourced material that 62.189.96.213 keeps adding is absolute nonsense, so don’t hold your breathe for any citations. I’ve seen this before and think this person gets a kick out of baiting whoever deletes his material by repeatedly undeleting it till the deleter goes away in frustration. Rather than give him his kicks, leave it there for a few hours. In the meantime, he’ll get bored and stop watching the page. Best regards, Jim_Lockhart 14:23, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

If that's the case, he'll be blocked. Thanks for the heads-up. --Eyrian 15:01, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

What must i change in my article for you to not delete it? I am new at this and don't fully understand the reasoning for your deletions.

thanks, 24.179.195.94 03:59, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Could you please be more specific about the article in question? --Eyrian 04:00, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

What exactly must I change in my article on Sunshine Behavior for you to not delete it? I am new at this and I don't fully understand your reason for deletion.

thanks, Mitch paradeis 04:03, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

It's not a matter of presenyation, it's a matter of content. Please read

WP:MUSIC for what is necessary for inclusion. --Eyrian

04:04, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm still confused, does the article lack significance or notability? Mitch paradeis 04:11, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes. The article does not assert notability according to the requirements laid out in the linked guideline. Please note that notability is a term of art around here, and means something rather specific. --Eyrian 04:46, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

my best argument as far as notability would be Sunshine Behaviors involvement in the Bodog Battle of the Bands. They did not win, however, they will appear on the bodog battle of the bands television series later this year on a major television network. If i were able to provide you with a source for this information would my article then meet the criteria? Also I can find sources to assret that they have played for a televised proffesional sporting event, though i do not know if that would help meet the criteria...

thanks again, Mitch paradeis 04:55, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Unless their participation in the battle of the bands was the principal subject of an article in a

WP:MUSIC point 12, but only after broadcast, and only if they themselves were the subject, which seems improbable (based on their not winning). A single performance does not seem to satisfy notability. I'm sorry, but they may simply not be suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia. --Eyrian

05:00, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

under the first point it mentioned non trivial publications... would articles published by Bodog Music in wich they were the subject of be considered under that? Mitch paradeis 05:07, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

That would depend on the scale of the coverage. If it's just an entry in a list, then no. If it is an article largely about them then quite possibly. Care to link me? --Eyrian 05:11, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately I am just finding out now that the articles are no longer on bodog's site. perhaps i will have to remain patient with my article, Sunshine Behavior has a huge following in Minneapolis and is beginning to gather attension from people in high places... it won't be too long till i can find something to meet wikipedias criteria.

thanks again for all your time. i appreciate it. Mitch paradeis 05:36, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

tsk tsk, you already tried once! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 131.104.152.138 (talk • contribs).

Can you give a reason why you deemed the article Queer Justice League worthy of speedy deletion because it wasn't notable? Despite the fact that it's the next generation of ACT UP, gets hundreds of people at its meetings, thousands at its actions, and MSM press coverage including the New York Times? Perhaps you have a personal axe to grind. Please defend the capricious, potentially homophobic abuse of your admin privileges. Aroundthewayboy 19:10, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Also, you completely flouted the approach you articulated below during your candidacy for Admin. To me, that is grounds for reversing your admin privileges because of your gross abuse (considering that in the original article I mentioned the many ways in which the group was remarkable, had garnered media attention, achieved significant accomplishments, etc.).

and in particular, who do you feel about speedy deleting pages that seem to you unhelpful, but that don't fit any of the speedy delete criteria closely? DES (talk) 00:01, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Process is important because I couldn't write this encyclopedia by myself, and process is designed to let everyone get a chance to have their say. I am strongly inclined to not let something be speedy deleted unless it fits one of the categories neatly. In those cases, proposed and debated deletions serve to give other editors a chance to put their expertise into play to determine if the subject is important. I've certainly written articles that didn't (initially) assert notability, though they could meet the criteria with verifiable information. Further, by giving people a chance except in the most obvious cases of bad pages, we are more likely to attract and keep newcomers, rather than frustrate them. --Eyrian 01:13, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[/i]

Aroundthewayboy 19:19, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

The article as written did not assert notability. If they have garnered media attention, list it in the article. Nothing was listed there but the fact that a few people members of the organization got arrested as part of an incident that got media attention. That's not asserting importance. Their recognition may only be incidental. If referenced, it would've been fine. However, as written, it most certainly was within CSD A7.

Your accusations of homophobia are uncalled for; please read

cool. I'm always willing to discuss people who have issues with deletion, as other comments on this page indicate. --Eyrian

22:27, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm not getting into a flame war with some homophobe who doesn't deserve his admin privileges. However, let the record state that you were completely out of order in this case, and I am guessing other cases where people didn't stick up for themselves. Aroundthewayboy 03:57, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Which of my deletions gave you this idea? --Eyrian 03:32, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Just to be clear, in the original article that this admin capriciously deleted, I did indeed assert notability by referring to various accomplishments and media coverage of the group whose entry I created. At the very least the entry should have been flagged instead of speedily deleted. If that had happened, I would have added links to more than just the group's web site (which, by the way, includes pages with the media coverage). And I wouldn't have had to point out the gross abuse of power by Eyrian.

At this point I'm only clarifying what happened for posterity. Aroundthewayboy 04:03, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
