The article In Honor of a Lifetime of Sexual Assault has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:NOTNEWS

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hello, Another Believer,

I noticed that this article was being discussed at an AFD and I thought that you, as a content creator who has one of their foci all things Northwest, maybe knew of some sources that could help improve this article. I'd think there would be plenty of coverage in the Oregonian or WW. Thank in advance for any help you can provide. Liz 18:11, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

@Liz Yes, of course this is a notable topic. Add this to the list of unnecessary AfDs. I'll take a look and see what I can do! Thanks! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:13, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading File:Christmas Dive Bar logo.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Misplaced Pages may not meet the criteria required by Misplaced Pages:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Misplaced Pages:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Ирука 18:02, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
