User talk:Bioclef
A tag has been placed on I.N.I. Streetwear, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the 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. CobaltBlueTony 17:46, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article I.N.I. Streetwear, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

- This article has already been speedily deleted once, thus I have now requested the same treatment for the later incarnation. SGGH 18:15, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
- Please read Wikipedia:Notability (companies and corporations). Nothing indicated this company comes even close to the standards. Wikipedia is not a business directory, and does not list all companies. Fan-1967 18:30, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
License tagging for Image:INI Streets.gif
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:INI Streets.gif. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:

I.N.I. Streetwear, again
[edit]Nothing mentioned in the article so far qualifies as notability per WP:CORP (READ that link so you know what we're talking about,). As for the "famous" people listed as being sponsored by them, namely: Bambam, Ariff Jufri, Sallehin, Johnny Stevens, Farhaan Curly, Man Toyol, Simon Oman, and Faizal Rock; you see how all those names are red? that means they don't have articles on Wikipedia, most likely because they do not meet WP:BIO (Read that link, too to understand the qualifications.)
Wikipedia is not a mere collection of random facts. It is an encyclopedia that relies heavily on properly cited, verifiable references that establish notability. For instance, the Catholic Church is notable because it is a world religion; individual parishoners are not. Baseball players who have broken famous records or who have made significantly recognizable contributions to the whole establishment of the sport are notable; EVERY baseball player is not. Is that starting to make sense?
Companies, whether they sell bicycles, fashion accessories, or peanuts, come and go. Wikipedia has no interest in every company that ever existed. But companies that are multibillion dollar establishments, set industry standards, or who otherwise contribute significantly are (usually) worth mentioning. Yes, you'll see information on here that may not actually fit the criteria linked above. But that is where you can help. There are ways of bringing this information to our attention (speedy deletion, deletion proposals, and the more public and consensual listing an article for deletion). When your company does something that is notworthy by Wikipedia standards, find the references which support it and bring your article back.
Thank you for your cooperation, and happy editing!

I'm responding to your comment on the AfD page for this article. A good place to start to get the knowledge for making good articles is WP:CORP. WP:N and WP:V are excellent as well. --Адам12901 Talk 03:55, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
Welcome! (We can't say that loudly enough!)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:INIStreets.gif)
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:INIStreets.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free 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.
