User talk:Mqrasi
A tag has been placed on Afghanbuzz, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.
If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Blanchardb 22:39, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
Notability of Afghan ghazal
[edit]A tag has been placed on Afghan ghazal requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, 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 assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. VivioFateFan (Talk, Sandbox) 10:23, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Copyright
[edit]You claim to own the copyright of all the Afghan presidential candidate images and the party logos, care to provide some proof? Polly (Parrot) 00:43, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
Wasn't sure what to pick .. I have assembled the whole list and pictures and symbols from various sources to make a Final list. Can I reference AfghanBuzz? .. that is where they have all the pictures.
- All the images and logos are likely under copyright, unless you can show evidence that they are freely licensed then they'll probably be deleted. You could use a fair use rationale for the logos but not really for the politicians, as they are all still alive, so far. Polly (Parrot) 01:00, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
In that case I am going to use AfghanBuzz as the copyright holder. That is where the original list resides. U cool with that?
I just granted Wikipedia exclusive usage of material on the page on afghanbuzz (http://afghanbuzz.com/members/topic/afghan-election-candidates-2009-complete-list#post-29) .. is that ok?
- Unless you own the copyright of all those portrait images and the logos then you can't license them to anybody. I think it exceedingly unlikely that you are the copyright holder. Polly (Parrot) 01:17, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
then you can do whateva rocks ur boat .. i just wasted over an hour making those tables and uploading images for wiki.
- I can understand your frustration, it must be annoying. Unfortunately Wikipedia has very strict criteria in regards to image use, especially non-free images of living people. It looks like most of the pictures were taken at the same location possibly by an official government body. If this is the case it might just be that they are public domain, that would depend on Afghan Government copyright laws. Polly (Parrot) 01:37, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- The source of the images appears to be the Independent Election Commission of Afghanistan. Here's a link to the pdf file [1]. Their website is under copyright though. Polly (Parrot) 02:02, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- Polly has just shown me the link to the PDF. Do you have a genuine claim on these images, or have they been taken without permission? J Milburn (talk) 19:33, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- As you have provided no explanation, and because I think it more than likely this images have been taken without permission, I have deleted the images. Please do not do this again- Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and a failure to do the same will result in you being blocked from editing. J Milburn (talk) 19:15, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
