Deleted template

I deleted your template for the Reise Reise album, after seeing that most of the individual songs now redirect to the album, as they should according to our policy. Only very well-known singles merit their own articles; album tracks very seldom do. --Guinnog 10:53, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the policy I was thinking of. Wikipedia:Notability (songs) --Guinnog 11:14, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Briscoe Logan.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Briscoe Logan.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Chowbok ☠ 01:23, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Template:Sehnsucht

A tag has been placed on Template:Sehnsucht requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude>).

Thanks. Canniba loki 02:57, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
