Nomination of Kids-R for deletion[edit]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Kids-R is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kids-R until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. DMacks (talk) 18:09, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

July 2013[edit]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kids-R, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Michaelzeng7 (talk) 20:35, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. ... discospinster _talk 20:36, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Visit WP:SIGNATURE. Placing the the four tildes ( ~~~~ ) after a comment in any discussion will add your username and the date. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 06:10, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Eureka! I feel like I'm starting to understand how it all works - it's pretty cool. Thanks Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} ) It would be nice to meet you one day in person for a drink/coffee whenever we are both in NYC. Michael Dudko 15:45, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Userfying Kids-R[edit]

Michael, I hope you understand that deletion and incubation are not mutually exclusive. When the article is incubated, it means that it has been decided that it does not belong to the mainspace at this time, and the page history is moved to a different place, such as a user sub-page. The article (or rather, its title) is deleted. It is possible that the film will become notable enough to meet Wikipedia's criteria, but it is also possible that it won't, so I hope you can understand that may happen. Like MichaelQSchmidt said, if the film is covered and reviewed upon release, we can review the topic for moving back into the encyclopedia. Erik (talk | contribs) 14:32, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much Erik (talk | contribs). I do understand this. I don't mind to wait, and if you don't mind, I will be asking for your help as soon as we will get the coverage. It's just that I was a little bit upset about that he autocratically deleted all the editing, even thought the topic was still in dispute. I am 'a freedom fighter' by nature, so whenever I encounter any injustice - I need to interfere. I didn't know much about how Wikipedia works until now, and it became obvious for me that something must be done about it. Thanks again for your support and for your understanding. Michael Dudko 20:43, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the outcome of the AfD was that the topic did not belong on the mainspace. It is just a convenience to incubate the page if there is a possibility of bringing it back to the mainspace later. Maybe MichaelQSchmidt can userfy the page for you? He has admin tools. Erik (talk | contribs) 14:18, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again. I believe both of you - Erik (talk | contribs) and MichaelQSchmidt are fair and I'm glad there are honest contributors like you. But it seems to be right if I wouldn't ask for your help at this stage. So if you don't mind, I will come back ask for your support after the movie will have been released. Once again, thank you very much. Michael Dudko 16:03, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:Kids-R! documentary film poster (Wiki).jpg)[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Kids-R! documentary film poster (Wiki).jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Werieth (talk) 13:52, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
