*'''Delete''' as above, the image illustrates a non-extant army. Also, I don't see that the Aerican Army is detailed. Kind of an odd topic, but this isn't an article about the Aerican Army, which incidentally, does not exist.

** The copyright question is a fair point. I`m not 100 percent positive that the base image was open source, but I`ll get in touch with the image creator and find out, and if the image isn`t legal to use we`ll replace it with one that is within a couple of days, so I`d ask editors to give us that time before deleting the file on copyright grounds. While I`m posting anyway, on the topic of whether the image is relevant, I`d like to add that the map is part of the basic `micronations` template that all the micronations articles use; this doesn`t justify its necessity but it does suggest that the editors who are most experienced with micronations articles feel that the use of a map is worthwhile.[[User:Timcrow|Timcrow]] ([[User talk:Timcrow|talk]]) 12:54, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Image:Marcia222.jpg (delete | talk | history | logs) - uploaded by Warhol222 (notify | contribs).
  • This image was tagged as being self-made, but I think it maybe looks like a screen capture to me. It doesn't look like your average amateur digital camera photo. The uploader seems to be a one-day single purpose account. Rob (talk) 17:01, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I agree that it looks like a screengrab - if you look carefully you can just see that "squaring" effect you get on phone videos and youtube posts, so I suspect a grab from a digital TV signal. The photoshopping must have been to improve the picture. Totnesmartin (talk) 08:06, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete too poor quality to be used in an encylopedia. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 16:50, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Can't see the image serving any encylopedic purpose. Lazulilasher (talk) 16:18, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • The WP:Music Samples guideline recommends that except in exceptional cases, music samples should be no longer than 30 seconds (and less than 10% of the length of the track). This sample provides no reason to exceed the guideline. BigrTex 21:57, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Alizée - J'ai Pas Vingt Ans (sample).ogg (delete | talk | history | logs) - uploaded by Jacoplane (notify | contribs).
  • The WP:Music Samples guideline recommends that except in exceptional cases, music samples should be no longer than 30 seconds (and less than 10% of the length of the track - in this case 26.3 seconds). This sample provides no reason to exceed the guideline. BigrTex 22:11, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
OK, so it's 46 seconds. Big freaking deal. I can upload a slightly shorter version if this discussion determines the file should be deleted. JACOPLANE • 2008-08-4 18:39
Also, the only reason I surpassed the 30-second limit is because I didn't want to cut off the refrain half-way through, since that would sound terrible. JACOPLANE • 2008-08-4 18:41
  • To the nominator: wouldn't it be more easily resolved if the uploader was directly contacted rather than going through with all these bureaucratic hoops? Anyways, since when do we follow policies and guidelines to the letter rather than to the essence it embodies? The file is a short, reduced quality sample - isn't that enough to comply with the spirit of the guideline? Oh noes, we now have to cut it midway through a paragraph just because its a freaking sixteen seconds longer! Bravo! Way to go! --soum talk 19:06, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep As a guideline, "common sense and the occasional exception" may permit the extra 16 sec. clip for an accurate representation. You know, we really could do with less sarcasm on this forum by editors (and admins). JGHowes talk - 13:16, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments First, for clarity, it is 20 seconds more than the guideline, not 16. Second, the rationale still doesn't provide any reason to exceed the guideline; When the {{ifd}} tag is removed, there will be no reason for the sample not to be renominated for the same reason. Finally, since the article where the sample is used makes no mention of the refrain, it seems like the entire refrain could be cut to get the sample within the guideline. There does seem to be consensus to delete or shorten longer samples - I notice that neither of the objections for this nomination made any objection to the shortening/deletion of the other samples listed around this one. ~ BigrTex 23:09, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Unnotable non-free use music video cap, claimed as album cover, which does not exist. I am not claiming the video isn't notable and doesn't need a screen cap, but this screen cap doesn't do the video justice in its own, we need a better clip that shows notability - this is not notable, its just Rihanna close-up. Should be notable. 74.204.40.46 (talk) 08:54, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You're going to need to move this to the August 3 section since that's when you listed it. Vickser (talk) 09:03, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh sorry, I didn't see it there, I must have had to purge the cash, my mistake Ejfetters (talk) 04:49, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
