Hi, Davy. You need to keep your biography on your user page and keep it separate from the wikipedia articles. I'm afraid we have to delete the article Davy Kamanzi. Deb (talk) 17:41, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
The article Davy Kamanzi has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- No indication of notability - also an unsourced BLP page
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of Davy Kamanzi
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. -- Rrburke (talk) 18:43, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
File copyright problem with File:Goalie.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Goalie.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. ww2censor (talk) 05:24, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
Autobio
You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, instead of writing it yourself. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.
Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.
If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 06:45, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
File source problem with File:Marcelo_saragosa.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Marcelo_saragosa.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 10:56, 14 June 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. feydey (talk) 10:56, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
Noah Cyrus
I don't see any evidence that this is a free image, so I've nominated the image for deletion here. Please fix it if you can. Cheers. Rodhullandemu 18:34, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
- And please don't delete PERSONDATA - it's there for maintenance purposes. Rodhullandemu 18:36, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of File:Noah-Cyrus-Frankie-Jonas-Ponyo.jpg
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

File:Hervé davy sidney.jpg listed for deletion
A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Hervé davy sidney.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion.

Hi Davy!
I'm very impressed with your article creation and writing skills, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if you were to end up owning the leading media company in Africa, eventually. So I'm sorry that I have to agree with other editors that your user page can't stay the way it is right now. If you changed it to make it clear that it's a user page, and that you're writing about yourself that would be alright. But it just looks too much like an "article space" entry, a real Wikipedia article, and we can't allow that. If we did, millions of people would create pages about themselves and regular readers of the encyclopedia wouldn't know what was a regular article and what someone created about himself.
Please don't feel bad about this. Just keep learning and keep working toward your goals and I'll bet you really will be notable enough to have an article about you on Wikipedia, eventually. I certainly wish you every success, and I believe you'll achieve it. Best regards, – OhioStandard (talk) 02:35, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you for your remarks. I like to make my user page look like an article so that the readers do not get confused with the conjugation. I personally get confused when reading user pages that used "I" rather than "He/she".
By the way, becoming the leading media company in Africa is a mission of my parents' company, not an ambition of mine. Best regards, Davykamanzi (talk) 19:14, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
