Proposed deletion of R. V. Marron

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Orphaned non-free image File:Victory Sports Network (logo).gif

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Victory Sports Network (logo).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 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 section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:08, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

Cissinae

Hi, Paulmcdonald! – I don't believe our paths have crossed much to date. Is it OK with you if I undelete Cissinae, which I (thought I) was in the process of redirecting to Corvidae a moment ago? Just my 2 eurocents, but isn't a subfamily almost always going make plausible redirect to the parent family? Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:30, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

No worries, I was just processing what looked to be a clear-cut speedy delete. Go for it!--Paul McDonald (talk) 18:40, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
