Your addition has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. 71.241.199.226 (talk) 21:10, 14 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Please note that we cannot host copyright material anywhere, not even in sandboxes. Assertion of permission to use text is not enough: it is essential to make a formal copyright release - see Copyrights


 * It is seldom worth making a copyright release, because the promotional tone of a company or personal website is likely to be unsuitable for an encyclopedia article, which requires a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not for advertising or promotion of any kind.


 * 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 good advice on how to write an acceptable article at WP:Your first article. JohnCD (talk) 21:29, 14 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Per your explanation here, it's relevant to add WP:COI as a concern. 71.241.199.226 (talk) 21:42, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not for what you want to do
As you are "under direct employment of the company" you have a severe conflict of interest and should not be editing about it. Wikipedia is not a noticeboard for companies to promote themselves.

You say your page is not intended as an advertisement, but you also say you want to tell the "awe inspiring story of a man started a revolutionary company", and your text, copied from the company's promotional website, is full of PR-speak and "puffery": "amazing results... powerful results... dramatic and varied results... as manufactured by Mineral Resources International, Inc... complete line of highly effective nutritional supplements... "

That is an advertisement, and anything like that is deleted from Wikipedia at sight. Try Myspace. JohnCD (talk) 22:22, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Mineral Resources International


A tag has been placed on Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Mineral Resources International, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be a clear copyright infringement. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) 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. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.
 * It is a rejected submission at Articles for creation, and it has not been edited in over a year. (See section G13 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)

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.
