Speedy deletion of Ralphshelton14/Gina Beck

A tag has been placed on Ralphshelton14/Gina Beck requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but 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. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

I think part of the problem is that you created this in the article namespace instead of user space. I've moved the page to User:Ralphshelton14/Gina Beck. You may work on it there before moving it back to article space as Gina Beck. Be sure to include as many reliable sources as you can find (newspapers, magazines, books, etc) and avoid non-reliable sources such as most websites, blogs, forums, etc. That will help to ensure that the article will meet the inclusion guidelines for people. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on my talk page. Karanacs (talk) 19:51, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Image of Gina Beck

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! The important thing with images is they must be released under a free license, permission to 'simply' let Wikipedia use it, is not enough. This page explains how to ask permission and this one has some example emails you can send, personally I have successfully used the 'Semi-formal, Polite, Concise' letter. In short, read and follow Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. I'm always happy to offer you help, don't be afraid to ask! Just a couple of hints, generally new sections on talk pages go and the bottom, rather than top. Also you can sign your messages using ~~~~. -- Fluteflute ^{Talk Contributions} 20:30, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
