[edit] Nowheristan

From time to time we get kids creating articles about their micro-nations (usually their bedroom!) and we speedily delete them. OK, Nowheristan is slightly more notable than a kid's micro-nation but I still have serious reservations about the article:

  • I assume that you are Michel Elefteriades and that you have therefore a total COI
  • the article itself contained no evidence (apart from one image) that the rest of the world has taken any interest in the concept. Your own bio does contain this link. But I am still very dubious as to whether Nowheristan counts as "notable".

I think you should be satisfied with the mention in your bio. If you think a full article is justified, you can raise the matter at deletion review. (I have saved the article for you at User:Bahaab/Nowheristan.) -- RHaworth 16:48, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

You deleted my article Nowheristan for reasons you state clearly. But allow me to state some things and ask you some others:
- Nowheristan has what it takes to be a country per UN standards. It was verified that you do not need a geographic context (the P.L.O. for example is member of the U.N.).
- Nowheristan is NOT a micro-nation: it is a global nation.
- Anyway thank you for saving the article on User:Bahaab/Nowheristan and for creating a link to the pertinent paragraph on the Michel Elefteriades bio. I will gladly raise the matter at deletion review after I read more about how to request restoration, and gather more verifiable info about my topic. The subject definitely deserves a full article. An even longer one than the one I posted. Would you advise me in which category, if not country, the article would fit?
- I am not Michel Elefteriades and he is not behind the articles. My name is Bahaa Balboul. I know Michel and do see him occasionally. I contributed his bio on Wikipedia. I would not hesitate to give you my and Michel's personal contact details for you to verify that. I could communicate them to you through your email address I see on your website. -- Bahaab 09:22, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

On reflection, I decided that I did not have a strong mandate to "speedily delete" the article. I have restored it and sent it to AfD. Put it in Category:Political organizations and let someone else find a sub-cat if they want. -- RHaworth 12:29, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

- Thanks a lot! I will work on improving it. I really want to visit Croydon now :) -- Bahaab 12:50, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:DailyStarLebanon11.10.2007.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:DailyStarLebanon11.10.2007.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. BetacommandBot 18:40, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
