Proposed deletion of David Fairman Photographer and film Director


The article David Fairman Photographer and film Director has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:47, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of David Fairman Photographer and film Director


A tag has been placed on David Fairman Photographer and film Director 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

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, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". 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 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.

Copyright permissions
At Talk:David Fairman Photographer and film Director, you wrote: "This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement,I have permissions of the copyrighted sources. Permissions have been granted to me, Ayesha Plunkett." Please read the speedy deletion notices above carefully -- they include instructions on how to donate copyrighted material. However, even if you have the right to use this material, this does not make the material appropriate content for Wikipedia. Fairman's website is intended to promote his career, so copying that text to Wikipedia would be using Wikipedia to promote Fairman's career, which is prohibited.

Status and Advice
I deleted it on the additional grounds of being highly promotional.

A Wikipedia article needs to be written like an encyclopedia article, not a press release. By all means give permission, at least for the photo, but please do not use the person's site as the article. even if you own the copyright and are willing to give us permission according to the full formalities at WP:DCM, the tone will not be encyclopedic and the material will not be suitable.

Include only material that would be of interest to a general reader coming across the mention of the subject and wanting the sort of information that would be found in an encyclopedia. Do not include material that would be of interest only to those associated with the subject.. Keep in mind that the goal of an encyclopedia is to say things in a concise manner, which is not the style of  press releases or  web sites, which are usually more expansive.

Additionally, a Wikipedia article needs to show notability with references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases. As a general rule, a suitable page will be best written by someone without Conflict of Interest; it's not impossible to do it properly with a conflict of interest or as a paid press agent, but it's relatively more difficult: you are automatically thinking in terms of what the subject wishes to communicate to the public, but an uninvolved person will think in terms of what the public might wish to know. This holds true also for using a personal web page.

If you think you can do it right according to our guidelines, do so, but expect the article to be carefully checked for objectivity.  DGG ( talk ) 01:27, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

For further information see our FAQ about business, organizations, and articles like this and also WP:FIRST.

However, if the name you have used includes or refers to the subject of the article, you must choose another username. As explained in WP:USER, only individuals may edit. When you have a username that is or includes the name of your organization, you imply that you are editing officially, and have a superior right to edit the page. But that is not the way WP works--all editors are considered equal--and your contributions like those of any editor must be justified by sources. I'm sure you do not intend to give such impression, but that's why we have the rule. Therefore, please choose another name. On that user   page, you should say whom you are working for.
