Disambiguation link notification for September 14

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Alonso Duralde, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages East Point and Georgia. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Speedy deletion nomination of Owen's Scrapbook

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Owen's Scrapbook requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about something invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally, and 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 criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "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 Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Pmedema (talk) 23:40, 1 April 2017 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:OwensScrapbook.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:OwensScrapbook.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. 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 Misplaced Pages (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 section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:56, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Donald Trump the Republican presumptive nominee

I believe you were the first editor of James C. Mahan to refer to Donald Trump as the "presumptive nominee". I invite you to add any comment you may have to a discussion at Talk:Attempted assassination of Donald Trump#Presumptive nominee. —Anomalocaris (talk) 15:48, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of The Weekly Planet

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on The Weekly Planet requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not credibly 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 criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

September 2017

Hello. Your recent edit to Hell, Michigan appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person or organization added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Misplaced Pages's notability guideline. Thank you. John from Idegon (talk) 23:29, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help.

Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Proposed deletion of Tyler O'Day

The article Tyler O'Day has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No indication of notability, no references to reliable sources that demonstrate notability, search does not reveal anything but brief mentions.

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. — Insertcleverphrasehere 00:50, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

Although I'm not the person who deleted the article, I responded on the talk page to your comment on why it shouldn't be deleted. Just in case you didn't actually see it, I wanted to repost it here for context:

Being a "major player" on Medium is not a Misplaced Pages notability criterion in and of itself, and all of this article's sources are to his own content. A person gets a Misplaced Pages article by being the subject of reliable source coverage written by other people, not by being the author of his own sources.

In other words, to make a person notable enough for a Misplaced Pages article, it is not enough to use his own self-published sources to demonstrate that he exists. You need to use reliable sources that are independent of him to prove that media are paying attention to his accomplishments. Hope that clarifies things a bit. Bearcat (talk) 17:31, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, that clarifies things for me. --Volvlogia (talk) 02:44, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Chuggaaconroy.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Chuggaaconroy.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Misplaced Pages. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Train2104 (t • c) 16:54, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 5

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited John R. Bolton, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page CPAC (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Proposed deletion of Mario J. Lanza

Under Misplaced Pages policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
