Speedy deletion nomination of How to cook salmon


A tag has been placed on How to cook salmon 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 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. — foxj 04:41, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of How to cook salmon
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thanky you for your contributions, in particular How to cook salmon. Unfortunately that article does not fit in with the guidelines of Wikipedia, in particular what Wikipedia is not. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a cook book. We do not host cooking instructions. How to cook a salmon has been proposed for deletion. I hope you stay with Wikipedia, and find some articles to write or improve, unfortunately, this can not be one of them. Thank you, --kelapstick(bainuu) 05:08, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
