Speedy deletion nomination of Gary Mervis


A tag has been placed on Gary Mervis 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 person or group of people, 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. WWGB (talk) 14:15, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Conflict of interest
Although a very worthy cause, it appears you may be affiliated to the subject areas you've been working on in Wikipedia. From the relevant guideline:

"A Wikipedia conflict of interest (COI) is an incompatibility between the aim of Wikipedia, which is to produce a neutral, reliably sourced encyclopedia, and the aims of an individual editor. COI editing involves contributing to Wikipedia in order to promote your own interests or those of other individuals, companies, or groups. Where advancing outside interests is more important to an editor than advancing the aims of Wikipedia, that editor stands in a conflict of interest."

It would be much appreciated if in future you refrain from editing anything related to Camp Good Days and Special Times, including articles about its personnel, but instead post edits you wish to suggest to the article talk pages disclosing your conflict of interest. If an article doesn't exist you should avoid creating it yourself; if the subject is notable then eventually it will be created by someone, or you can request that an article be created here.

I've trimmed Camp Good Days and Special Times to try to make it more policy compliant. This has involved removing external links (unfortunately it's not Wikipedia's function to serve as a prospectus, even for deserving causes) and reducing unencyclopedic information and trivia that gave the impression the article was overly promotional in nature. There is a copyright issue with the Cancer Mission 2020 logo ; logos are generally copyrighted and by tagging it as released into the public domain the uploader has essentially relinquished all rights to the logo; anyone can use it for anything including for making money from it. Due to this we require proof that this was the intent and that the copyright owner has indeed agreed to this (see WP:COPYVIO). Finally, content sourced to the organisation itself is not regarded as acceptable because we require neutral sources that are independent of the article subject. If you can assist in providing such sources they can be listed on the talk page per my above.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask here or on my talk page (linked in my signature). EyeSerene talk 19:01, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

PS I've just noticed that the Camp Good Days logo on the article is released to Wikipedia under a license that says Camp Good Days has "waived all of [its] rights to the work worldwide under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights, to the extent allowed by law. You can copy, modify, distribute and perform the work, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission." As with the Cancer Mission 2020 logo, this basically means that anyone can use the logo for any purpose, including setting up a commercial business calling themselves "Camp Good Days" and identifying themselves by that logo. I somehow doubt that this was the intent, so I suggest that this receives fairly urgent attention. EyeSerene talk 19:17, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
