Speedy deletion nomination of Durham Fire Department

[edit]

Hello ForDisplayOnly,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Durham Fire Department for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

I've declined to speedy delete the article and removed the tag. Please feel free to continue to work on the article if you like. You may not be aware that the article still could be subject to prod or afd which are other, slower ways of asking for permission to delete an article if it doesn't meet standards. The best way to make sure an article won't be deleted is to add reliable sources that talk about the subject. Newspaper articles that are about the subject (rather than just mention them) are some of the best. Xymmax So let it be written So let it be done 03:06, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Orphaned non-free image File:DFD Patch Low.png

[edit]
⚠

Thanks for uploading File:DFD Patch Low.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. 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 section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:36, 25 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WP:DOB is one of the more important aspects of WP:BLP. Toddst1 (talk) 17:55, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
