Orphaned non-free media (Image:Tough Questions Good Answers By Tom Calcagni.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Tough Questions Good Answers By Tom Calcagni.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 21:16, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Thomas Calcagni

A tag has been placed on Thomas Calcagni 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 notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance 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 a copy be emailed to you. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 21:58, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, as you did at Thomas Calcagni. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 21:59, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links, as you did with this edit to Thomas Calcagni. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. Thingg^⊕⊗ 23:47, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I thought you wanted external reference links where the book had been reviewed in order to make the listing credible.

AfD nomination of Thomas Calcagni

Thank you for your assistance. Would the references be improved if it was noted that the article from the Washington Post was a sidebar from a larger article named Hoping to Rise? Mastering the Elevator Talk. The article's author Gabe Goldberg actually reviewed the book and published what was printed in the Washington Post as part of his article appearing on page 1 of the Jobs section.

Thomas Calcagni

Regrding your message Is there any way to have the article Thomas Calcagni reviewed, many positive changes were made after it was put up for deletion.

You should first ask User talk:Keeper76 to review his decision. If you can't come to agreement on restoring the article, and wish to take it further, you then need to list the article at Wikipedia:Deletion review. You do this by adding:

{{subst:Newdelrev|pg=Thomas Calcagni|reason=Teh article was improved during the debate and I am unsure whether that was taken into account at the close.}} ~~~~

to this page. You should also inform User talk:Keeper76. Hiding T 23:37, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

I received your message on my talkpage...

My response: Hi there, Tcalcagni. I'm always willing to reconsider any decision I make as an admin. What sources, specifically, do you feel warrant inclusion of this particular article? Has anyone written about you in third party sources? (I'll post this on your talkpage also in case your not watchlisting this). Cheers, Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 00:42, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
