Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Kang-Kodos.jpg

[edit]

Thank you for uploadingFile:Kang-Kodos.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required byWikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available fromWikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as animage copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with ourcriteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at themedia copyright questions page. Thank you.J Milburn (talk)02:26, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion ofArthur Slugworth

[edit]

The articleArthur Slugworth has beenproposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Dubious notability. Article discusses a minor fictional character who only significantly appears in two works and is unlikely to have received any significant attention from third-party sources.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may bedeleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the{{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in youredit summary or onthe article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing{{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop theproposed deletion process, but otherdeletion processes exist. In particular, thespeedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, andarticles for deletion allows discussion to reachconsensus for deletion.DonIago (talk)20:43, 14 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
