I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Larry McHugh, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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. — iridescenti (talk to me!) 18:43, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
AfD Nomination: Larry McHugh
editHello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but all Wikipedia articles must meet our criteria for inclusion (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Since it does not seem to me that Larry McHugh meets these criteria, I have started a discussion about whether this article should be kept or deleted.
Your opinion on whether this article meets the inclusion criteria is welcome. Please contribute to the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Larry McHugh. Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them.
Discussions such as these usually last five days. In the meantime, you are free to edit the content of the article. Please do not remove the "articles for deletion" template (the box at the top). When the discussion has concluded, an administrator will consider all comments and decide whether or not to delete the article. — iridescenti (talk to me!) 19:50, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
Speedy deletion candidate: Diamond Seven
editA tag has been placed on Diamond Seven, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as articles for deletion. If you can indicate how Diamond Seven is different from the previously posted material, or if you can indicate why this article should not be deleted, I advise you to place the template {{hangon}} underneath the other template on the article, and also put a note on Talk:Diamond Seven saying why this article should stay. An admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 4 under General criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. We welcome your help in trying to improve Wikipedia, and we request you to follow these instructions. |→ Spaully₪† 20:29, 4 May 2007 (GMT)
Your comments in the AfD discussion
editDewey, I'm afraid that you have misconstrued the intentions of the editors who nominated Larry McHugh for deletion. There's a multitude of authors and musicians covered by WP, and many of those are Christian. Our notability guidelines for musicians, books and people in general are blind to issues of religion. If the consensus is that someone hasn't accomplished enough to merit inclusion, then we delete their article... It's that simple.
Because your comments in the discussion may reflect your frustration with the process, some editors may perceive them as being argumentative. I would like to suggest you review two fundamental principles of Wikipedia: Assume Good Faith and Be Civil. You could say that the two principles are WP's analogue to the "Golden Rule".
One other thing: I see that you uploaded album covers of McHugh's music with the claim that you are the copyright holder. If that is the case, then it may mean that either you are Larry McHugh, or have some kind of relationship to him (familial, business or otherwise), which may explain your reaction to the article's likely deletion. Please bear in mind that it is discouraged for people with vested interest in an article's subject to edit that article (see the conflict of interest guideline for more details).
Let me know if you have any questions or would like assistance with any facet of WP. Cheers, Caknuck 02:54, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
Orphaned fair use image (Image:Diamond7-cover-sm.jpg)
editThanks for uploading Image:Diamond7-cover-sm.jpg. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 21:32, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

The file File:Larrymchugh.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
unused, low-res, no obvious use
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:01, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
