Talk:Information Technology Channel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I nominated this page for rapid deletion with reason: Any article which consists only of attempts to correspond with the person or group named by its title. I still believe that's the case. I still don't understand why User:RHaworth reverted it back. It's all self-promotion only. Not talking about its factual correctness. For example: "Its viewers include tens of milions of Persian speakers around the world", the true number is almost surely less than ten millions. Or: "with the aim of teaching computer science", which is simply not true. "Microsoft Windows XP, IT News/Tech Talk, E-Commerce, Tech Zone, IT Books Review, Exchange Server 2003, Technology & Beyond and Microsoft Access" is not called computer science. I strongly believe this is a candidate for rapid deletion. Behdad 07:28, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

My misunderstading. The article does not fit in "attempts to correspond", but I still think it should be deleted. I't s not neutral, but pure self-promotion. It's almost surely started by the owner of the website/channel. Google test is not even possible, since "Information Technology Channel" is such a common phrase, used by various groups for similar purposes (IT training). Behdad 08:37, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Viewing figures

After this page was nominated on AfD I deleted a couple of things which seemed to mark the page as vanity: namely the picture and the viewing figure of 'tens of millions'. If that figure's true it desperately needs sourcing; if not it would be nice if the article could provide the real figure. --Last Malthusian 12:49, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:ITC.jpg

Image:ITC.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:17, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
