Speedy deletion nomination of File:GalenLogoExplained.png
A tag has been placed on File:GalenLogoExplained.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. 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.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — 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 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 that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. ukexpat (talk) 20:34, 7 January 2010 (UTC)


 * You should ask the Institute to send permission as described at WP:IOWN. I have reviewed the draft and despammed it a little - for example, the details of previous conferences are not necessary. Please let me know if you have any questions. – ukexpat (talk) 20:51, 7 January 2010 (UTC)


 * When the appropriate permission has been received by the OTRS volunteers, they will tag the image accordingly. Also, rather than edit your existing messages on a talk page when you have a new question, please ask a new question by indenting a paragraph (begin it with a colon) as I have done here, otherwise it makes it very difficult to spot that a new question has been asked. Thanks. – ukexpat (talk) 22:05, 7 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your help, including the tip about the colons. Will I receive notification when the image is tagged? Also, once it's tagged, will the article be ready for posting? Thanks again for your help. Andrewpsroyal (talk) 22:16, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of Galen Institute
I have nominated Galen Institute, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/Galen Institute. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. SarekOfVulcan (talk) 20:23, 12 January 2010 (UTC)


 * SarekOfVulcan - regarding your request for speedy deletion of the Galen Institute page over insufficient source material and notoriety - The Galen Institute has been featured in a number of top-tier publications, including multiple article submissions to and mentions in publicatiosn and outlets, such as the Wall Street Journal, Chicago Tribune, National Public Radio, FOX Business Network, National Journal, and National Review. The Galen Institute has also been featured in the New York Times in other instances in addition to the aforementioned letters to the editor; I can document those appropriately on the page if needed. Furthermore, the Galen Institute counts among its notable scholars, trustees and fellows former high ranking officials at the United States Department of Health and Human Services, former heads of the Congressional Budget Office and Office of Management and Budget, and several prominent think tank founders and scholars with background in free-market health reform.


 * As an addendum, there is a second New York Times source under the page's reference section to an article describing Galen Institute President Grace-Marie Turner's role on the 2005 Presidential Medicare Commission. This is not a letter to the editor (as SarekOfVulcan was concerned about), but rather a substantive article that clearly discusses the Galen Institute. Additionally I have added a third New York Times source - an article written by Galen Institute President Grace-Marie Turner for the New York Times to the reference section, so as to clear up any and all question as to: a) the appropriateness of citing the New York Times as a publication in which the Galen Institute has appeared; and b) the noteworthiness of the Galen Institute.


 * I can source additional information if necessary, but under these grounds, I ask that you reconsider deletion of this page.
