The Pictures You just deleted from Marquis de la Eirron

I was only requesting for the pictures of Nadhim Zahawi, Grant Shapps and Baroness Nevile-Jones to be deleted as the other ones were all alright to be used, so i was wondering whether or not you could please put all the other pictures you deleted back up please. Thank-You —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marquis de la Eirron (talk • contribs) 18:40, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

• Before the King does that the Marquis must provide a link to flickr for each image involved. Given that one image by conservativeparty was marked "all rights reserved", I suspect they all were. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 18:48, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

(edit conflict) All the ones from Flickr user conservativeparty seem to be "© All rights reserved." Do you have any evidence that they are licensed under CC? -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 18:50, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

• King, the Marquis does seem to be trying. Can help with which flckr licences are actually OK - see User talk:Marquis de la Eirron#Better. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:05, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
• When you talk about a link is this what you mean = http://www.flickr.com/photos/conservatives/3928928596/in/set-72157622395512878/ as this picture says that "Some Rights Are Reserved" but that I am allowed to use it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marquis de la Eirron (talk • contribs) 19:19, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Unfortunately, for this one (and many of the others) the license is CC-BY-NC-ND 2.0. Neither the NC (noncommercial) nor ND (no derivatives) are allowed on Wikipedia. Please see the explanation from Wikipedia's founder Jimbo Wales on why noncommercial licenses are not allowed. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 20:33, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Linda McMahon

Hi, a note to let you know as you were the last blocking Administrator, User:Screwball23 is back editing the Linda McMahon BLP again, there is already a thread at the BLPN here and it is for sure going to end in tears, if you could keep your eye on it that would be appreciated, thanks. Personally I support User:Jclemens comment in the BLPN thread as regards User:Screwball23's additions to that BLP as I think the BLP abuse is problematic, in that most of it is via COATRACKing relatively correct material in a way that's certainly UNDUE. Jclemens - I am not asking for any instant action just if you could keep your Admin eyes on the developments there, thanks.Off2riorob (talk) 15:27, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Project Blue Beam

why did you take project blue beam page down. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.150.236.115 (talk) 20:18, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Project Blue Beam (NASA). It was not sufficiently notable and also had some original research. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 17:11, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

AFD you closed for Sabrina Online

• [1] You closed this with the argument:

The result was delete both. There is insufficient coverage in independent reliable sources, and Web Cartoonists' Choice Award does not appear to be an important enough award to confer inherent notability. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:02, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Web Cartoonists' Choice Award is quite notable, it surviving its own AFDs several occasions proving that.

The requirements for a webcomic to be considered notable are listed at WP:WEB. It says it only has to meet one of the requirements listed, number 2 being :"The website or content has won a well-known and independent award from either a publication or organization."

Whether anyone considers an award to be important or not, isn't relevant. It is notable by Wikipedia standards, and it is surely a "well-known" award. So the requirements were all met. Dream Focus 23:38, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

"Whether anyone considers an award to be important or not, isn't relevant." Indeed. So it doesn't matter that some people think it is a "well-known" award. Whether it truly is can only be decided by sufficient coverage for this award, which the subject lacks. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 07:29, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Curious what these pages were from / used for? -- Cirt (talk) 00:09, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

These were copied from the page Truth in Numbers and its AfD. I used them to give my admin coaching students practice with closing AfDs. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 07:27, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

LIST OF AIRLINES BY SEAT CAPACITY

Hi, I would like to know why you deleted this group. Thank You! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.212.58.187 (talk) 11:44, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

As the deletion discussion shows, people believe that the article constitutes original research as "typical seating capacity" is unverified information, and the article does not have an objective criteria for inclusion. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:05, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
