Speedy deletion nomination of Drostan hall


A tag has been placed on Drostan hall 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 http://www.cameratachicago.org/music-director/. 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 or other printed material 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 "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. 2601:188:0:ABE6:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 20:58, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Your article
I'm sorry, but merely asserting on a page here that permission has been granted is not enough. We don't know who you are, and the owner(s) of the copyright may not have given permission. There is a procedure for granting permission - but it involves releasing the material under a CC-BY-SA 3.0 licence to comply with Wikipedia's licensing. Wikipedia is licensed under CC-BY-SA and the GFDL for free use by anyone anywhere, including commercial use and modification. Copyright text is not compatible with this licence. Any material licensed under CC-BY-SA is available for the same use, and this licensing is irrevocable. I would advise reading WP:BIO and WP:RS (reliable independent sources - the Camerata site may be reliable, but it sure ain't independent of the subject and can't establish notability Wikipedia-wise) and writing afresh, following Wikipedia's article pattern. Do be aware that articles here are not like pages on Facebook or LinkedIn. There, you control what is on the page. Here, anyone can edit, and so long as what they put is referenced suitably, it can't be removed. Also, what you put is automatically licensed under CC-BY-SA by the act of saving and may turn up in unlikely places. (I know, because I've found things I've written in places I've never heard of before.) In respect of your name, I would draw your attention to WP:COI which deals with editing on subjects you are close to. It may be a coincidence. It may not. COI editing is not forbidden, but we do advise caution. BTW using wording like 'rave reviews' is usually regarded here as advertising - in the same category as 'solutions', 'passionate', and 'unique'. Wikipedia likes a neutral (= grey...) style.

 * Purely as an illustration of where things turn up, I've just discovered 'downby-in-the-swamp' in a list of 'cracked hashes' - whatever the heck they are (seems to be something to do with passwords). It's a fictional small town I created for humorous illustrations on non-notability here on Wikipedia. I don't use it as a password anywhere. I also don't use it in my offwiki writing...
