Speedy deletion nomination of SAFIA


A tag has been placed on SAFIA 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 a band or musician, 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 read more about 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 "Click here to 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. WWGB (talk) 05:22, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of SAFIA


A tag has been placed on SAFIA requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.warnermusic.com.au/site/ajaxrender?view_name=bio&mid=109826. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 "Click here to 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. WWGB (talk) 05:48, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

COI and copyvio
Hey, I thought I'd give you a head's up on the page. I ended up deleting it because essentially it was a copyright violation per WP:COPYVIO. You said that you were an employee of Warner Music, but unless the company files a ticket through WP:ORTS giving Wikipedia permission to use the material it is still a copyright violation. However take this into consideration: in most cases the original text was written with the intent to promote the individual, so most copyrighted text will still be unusable since it will contain WP:PEACOCK terms and PR buzzwords that Wikipedia will consider inappropriate. In other words, even if Warner gives up the content as fair use you will still have to re-write the content from scratch anyway. It's something that's not really explicitly said at COPYVIO but is strongly implied.

Now I also have to mention the conflict of interest. You posted on the talk page that you were an employee of Warner that was sent to create articles. There's nothing wrong with that necessarily, but you will need to read over WP:COI and the basic editing guidelines to make sure that you're very aware of policy. You will also need to state your COI on your userpage and ideally you will also have a list of the articles you're going to edit, although the list is somewhat optional if you plan on making only COI edits with this account. I'd recommend reserving this account for only Warner related edits since that will make it easier to track, although if you do plan on making a separate account to make other edits you will need to disclose this on your userpage as well. You can see an example of this on my userpage, where I disclose my COI with the Library of Virginia and specify the account name that I'm using for there.

As far as article creation goes, I'd recommend that for the time being you use WP:AfC. The reason for this is that you're a brand new editor and as such, you are likely to make some errors and various mistakes that all new users typically do. (None of us are immune to this - I made a lot of mistakes when I first started editing.) AfC will take longer, but it'll help resolve some of the concerns over the potential COI and if the page has any issues you'll have a chance to fix things without the page getting instantly deleted or nominated for AfD. The only exceptions to this would be if you had a page that contained copyvio, was an attack page, or was so unambiguously promotional that it'd be too much even for AfC. (For the latter it'd have to be something along the lines of you telling people where to purchase things for the most part.)

In any case, I'd encourage you to go through one of Wikipedia's training modules at Adventure. It should give you a basic overview of the policies and would look good, since it'd be a good faith gesture that you're interested in learning the policies as it would show up in your edit history.
