Welcome!

Hello, Jjohnson155, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as 99 Cent Film Festival, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

Please help me with... Wikipedia Commons is rejecting my logo for the 99 Cent Film Festival, but the created logo is our own artwork. Please help.

Hi. You've asked this question on the English Wikipedia, not Commons, which are two separate projects. Still, I can tell you that Commons will only accept the image if your film festival agrees to license the image freely, meaning anyone can use it for any reason, even their own commercial purposes. If that's the case, see c:COM:ET for instructions on how to prove such a release. If your organization does not want the image released under a free license that allows anyone to reuse it and make money off it, it could be used on Wikipedia only once an article (not a draft) exists about the film festival, under a claim of fair use. See Wikipedia's guidelines on non-free content. Although given that the article you've written is likely to be deleted, I'd hold off on the image and work on writing an acceptable article first. See our guide to writing your first article and, if the article is indeed deleted, I'd recommend your next attempt be through the article wizard as a draft.

Speedy deletion nomination of 99 Cent Film Festival

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 99 Cent Film Festival, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or 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. (See section A7 of 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
