Taiga

Your recent edit to taiga replaced a word with a misspelling. I reverted you, but if you feel the word needs replacing, please try again. Thanks for all your countervandalism work! —EncMstr (talk) 18:46, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Symphony of Decay

 

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Symphony of Decay, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Per WP:MUSIC, unreleased albums are not notable without substantial coverage in independent reliable sources. None provided, none found.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Speedy deletion of File:M25chevening.jpg

 

A tag has been placed on File:M25chevening.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
