Generation YES

UNDELETE. The company is well-known among the educational technology field, According to WP:CORP, the company has to have been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works from independent sources. These sources are referenced and the article was not copyrighted, as suggested by the person who did the delete. They were reading a past delete that was more than 1 year old and completely unrelated to this article. This company is significant throughout technology education, and further content can be added to prove as much. Freechild 04:27, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
COMMENT. I deleted this because the article did not appear to establish notability and was close to advertising with phrases like all Generation YES programs improve the use of technology in the school as a whole. A claim of 100% success needs to be verified. If notability is accepted either here or at AfD, the article needs a bit of NPOV work. I noted that a previous editor had deleted on copyright issues, but I did not take that into account since I was not deleting on that basis, I just mentioned it to User:Freechild Jimfbleak.talk.07:10, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Restore for review, I can't find a google cache, and recent deletions have made me inherently suspicious of all G11s. -Amarkov ^blah_edits 05:22, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
List for AfD. It does have references although the references section is missing, making it not show up in the article. ColourBurst 06:46, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Send to AFD for more discussion. It does assert the importance of its subject. >Radiant< 10:01, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Overturn, AfD if necessary. Obviously not an A7. --badlydrawnjeff talk 13:18, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Daniel Jencka

The composer is well known among students and associates of American composer Stanley Hollingsworth, and was regionally very well known in Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Canada in the late 70's and throughout the 80's as a member of the Flauto e Basso Baroque Duo. Significant within the world of modern harpsichord music. Morphixnm 03:54, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Endorse deletion. Do you have any sources for all this? -Amarkov ^blah_edits 05:23, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Endorse deletion unless independent non-trivial coverage by reliable sources is shown. Only new information is that he was in the Flauto e Basso Baroque Duo, which may not be notable either. --Sam Blanning^(talk) 13:35, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Pentagon_precollapse.jpg

The picture had a source, and fair use rationale - yet was still speedily deleted without giving me notice. Fresheneesz 03:03, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A fair use image that is not used in an article is eligible for speedy deletion. --Peta 03:08, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was on the page The Pentagon before it was admittedly erroneously removed.

Also, this page (http://www.cooperativeresearch.org/context.jsp?item=a1015pentagoncollapse) suggests that Jason Ingersoll released his pictures from that day to the public ___domain. This page (911review.com) says the image I uploaded came from Jason Ingersoll at 10:05am. Fresheneesz 03:58, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, that first link shows that those particular pictures in that link are public ___domain, not that all pictures by that photographer are public ___domain. We need proof of something being PD, not conjecture. So keep deleted. >Radiant< 10:01, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A wikipedia only release is not free enough for the content to be used. it would need to be released under the GFDL by the holder of the copyright.Geni 01:31, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore, you have to say that on the site itself; anyone can lie and claim they're you. -Amarkov ^blah_edits 02:06, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Endorse deletion. If this wasn't a copyvio, it would be a General-11 as blatant advertising. If the school does merit an article then it should be written in neutral, encycloapedic language. --Sam Blanning^(talk) 13:32, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
