Speedy deletion nomination of Theseatonpost.com


A tag has been placed on Theseatonpost.com 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 www.theseatonpost.com/2013/06/25/how-my-wife-saved-my-life/‎. 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.

Note
Hello. Regarding your reason for contesting the speedy deletion of the above article, I would like to explain that there are two issues with the reason given. First, although you are the author, you would need to give permission for Wikipedia to use it despite your copyright over it. Also, depending on your relationship with the seaton post, it may be that the newspaper may hold part or all of the copyright of said article as well. See Donating copyrighted materials. Second, even if you were to do so, Wikipedia is not a collection of stories. The article in question does not appear to be about a notable subject; instead, it appears to be a memoir, which Wikipedia is not. If you have further questions, feel free to ask, right below here.

www.theseatonpost.com

The website, www.theseatonpost.com, was created in Sept. of 2012 by Arthur Seaton as a way to help people connect with what is going on in the United States government and around the country. It is a news aggregate and includes news and opinion from around the world.


 * Then you would need to donate copyright to Wikipedia. Nonetheless, Wikipedia is neither a news outlet, nor a blog for opinions: it is an encyclopedia, intended to be a tertiary source of referenced, researched articles.  Bramble claw  x  14:45, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
