Speedy deletion of The Music Never Stopped: Roots of the Grateful Dead

A tag has been placed on The Music Never Stopped: Roots of the Grateful Dead requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a musical recording which does not indicate why its subject is important or significant, and where the artist's article has never existed, has been deleted or is eligible for deletion itself. 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for music.

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), coupled with adding a note on the 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Didz93 (talk) 02:04, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Compilation of covers

Hi ... I'm not an expert on Wikipedia policy with regards to albums like this so I can't advise you, but you can request help here as described further up the page. Best of luck. Proofreader77 (talk) 02:15, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

NOTE: You need to put the helpme code on THIS page (discussion), not your userpage. Proofreader77 (talk) 02:24, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

{{Helpme}} I believe this is an important album, let me work on it, and give me tips to make it acceptable

Please follow the instructions on the template to ask for more time. Place {{hangon}} below the template, and then ask for more time on the talk page. If you have any other questions, ask me on my talk page. Thanks, Jake Wartenberg^talk 02:42, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Speedy delete tag deleted!

Hi, I've just deleted the speedy delete tag and replaced it with a notability one to encourage other people to expand the article. Sorry, should've added the notability tag instead of the delete tag in the first place. Didz93 (talk) 03:05, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

I've added more references to the article to document that the album is notable, and I've gone ahead and removed the Notability template. See Talk:The Music Never Stopped: Roots of the Grateful Dead#Notability. I recommend that you follow the links there, to read more about what "notability" means on Wikipedia. (If you reply here I will see what you say.) — Mudwater ^(Talk) 04:54, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I panicked when I saw the speedy delete tag -J04n (talk) 04:58, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Music Never Stopped.jpeg

Thanks for uploading File:Music Never Stopped.jpeg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 05:07, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

What's going on here is that the album cover image did not have a template indicating the type of copyright, so a bot tagged it for possible future deletion. I've taken care of that by adding the appropriate template, which is {{Non-free album cover}}. (I also removed the Untagged template). When you upload an album cover image, you can either add that manually, or it will be added for you if you select "album cover" in the Licensing drop-down list. On the plus side, you did have a fair use rationale specific to the article, so that's a good thing. (If you reply here I will see what you say.) — Mudwater ^(Talk) 05:17, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
