Speedy deletion nomination of Apostle Paul Odola


A tag has been placed on Apostle Paul Odola, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page 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. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. Syrthiss (talk) 17:36, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Why the article was deleted
Many people are unhappy to see an article deleted for copyright reasons, when they are the author of the source material.

However, this is a valid action for two reasons:
 * 1) Even thought your screen name might match a name associated with the source, we don't have a lot of restrictions on what you can use as a screen name, so we don't know that the editor is actually the same person as the name they chose.
 * 2) Even when that can be determined, some author fond (and some are surprised to learn this), that if you author a website for another entity, it is very often the other entity, not the actual author, who holds the copyright. This is sometimes true, and not always true, but not always easy to determine

Because we want to protect the copyrights of copyright holder, we err on the side of caution, and delete material that might be infringing if we cannot be sure it has been properly licensed. There is a way to re-use material you have written, See Donating copyrighted materials

In addition, if the name you are using as an editor is your real name, please see Please read Autobiography-- SPhilbrick (Talk)  19:22, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
