Notability of ATA Bus

A tag has been placed on ATA Bus requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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 indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

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 article (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. WaltBren ( talk) 18:12, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Wichita transit logo.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Wichita transit logo.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI ( talk) 00:20, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for File:ATA bus logo.JPG}

Thank you for uploading File:ATA bus logo.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Wichita Transit

There were several issues with this article, but I prefer to improve things where I can, rather than tagging and walking away.

  • Name: There is no mention on their website of "Transit Authority", they simply refer to "Wichita Transit" or, as they are a department of the city, "Transit Services".
  • Infobox: Changed to more relevant Bus Transit Infobox
  • Logo: The previous image used was something from the website and, again as they are a department of the city, they usually use the city logo for identification.
  • Q Line: This is completely the opposite of BRT in that it has frequent stops serving downtown.
  • Maps: Obvious copyright violation - taken from the website.
Thank you for your contribution. - Secondarywaltz ( talk) 13:52, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
