Speedy deletion nomination of Slender Man
[edit]If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Slender Man requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}
) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. –Dream out loud (talk) 17:19, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

[edit]Marble Hornets
[edit]Can you provide any sources for your claims regarding increasing popularity? FM [ talk to me | show contributions ] 18:01, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
Here, its a confirmed meme on Know your meme. They have a list of sites its spread to.
- While it may be on know your meme, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia which means that there has to be some claim of importance which is backed up by a citation. -Mrmatiko (talk) 18:12, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
- And the citation will need to be in a reliable source, such as a newspaper or magazine article. Blogs and the like don't cut it (although a column at Wired might). —C.Fred (talk) 18:13, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

First, you should always sign your posts on the talk pages by inserting four tilde characters: ~~~~. This will instert your name and the time you posted the message. Otherwise it becomes too difficult to follow your replies on the talk pages.
You should also have added the references to the respective pages and contest the deletion by providing these references instead of repeating its notable.
Re-creating the pages again without any reference is not a good idea. Do not get angry for speedy deletion but instead let us discuss only Marble Hornets and the ways its notable by examining the references.
As you have already noted, more information on the webcast can be found in Slender Man - Know Your Meme. I can also see it is covered in the book The New Digital Storytelling: Creating Narratives with New Media by Bryan Alexander from page 87 to 89. He considers it to be the most effective recent example of webcast based form of digital storytelling (page 87). He also says it (Marble Hornets) can be considered as what he defines as second order social media story since it depends on and feeds from the social media.
Marble Hornets sure looks notable and with more reliable sources on this subject (as well as the ones above) with a better format, we can add the content to its own page or to an existing page on the subject. Nimuaq (talk) 18:44, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Slender-man1.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Slender-man1.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, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 18:17, 7 May 2011 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 18:17, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:Slender-man1.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Slender-man1.jpg. 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 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Courcelles 03:38, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for File:Slender-man1.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Slender-man1.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 22:17, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Dude, ease off
[edit]I know you're happy to see the article resurrected, but the only reason it was in the first place is because I clawed the internet for weeks until it bled enough reliable sources to be notable. I had to drag in two moderators and lug the page around two other locations, just to get it to where it is now. Be happy it exists at all. Of course, I would appreciate any reliable sources you could find. Serendipodous 00:37, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
