    Notice

    The file File:Galvanize logo.svg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

    Unused file. Image uploaded to support Galvanize (software company) which was deleted via PROD in January. No realistic encyclopedic use.

    While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

    Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
