Speedy deletion nomination of Xenia rubinos


A tag has been placed on Xenia rubinos requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.birdonthewire.net/events/xeniarubinos-birthdays. 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.

Copyright, promotion and notability
I have deleted the article (and the draft page) because Wikipedia cannot hold copyright material, not even in sandboxes or draft pages, not even temporarily. Please read Copying text from other sources.

Assertion of permission to use text is not enough; we have to be certain that the person giving a release has the authority to do so, and that the actual copyright holder understands and agrees to Wikipedia's license terms, which allow any reader to copy, modify and re-use material for any purpose including commercial. For those reasons, a formal copyright release is required as described at WP:Donating copyrighted materials.

In this case, it would not be worth making a copyright release, because the promotional tone of the text, while OK for somewhere like Facebook or for a fan-site, would not be acceptable for an encyclopedia article, which requires a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not a free notice-board for posting copies of promotional material. See User:JohnCD/Not a noticeboard for background.

Article subjects need to have notability, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." There is more detail at WP:Notability (people) and for musical performers WP:MUSICBIO, and good advice on how to write an acceptable article at WP:Your first article.

If you are connected with or employed by Xenia Rubinos, before writing about her you need to read Conflict of interest and the Plain and simple conflict of interest guide.
