Speedy deletion nomination of The Satanic Temple


A tag has been placed on The Satanic Temple 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.thesatanictemple.com. 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 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 "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. 220  of  Borg 06:57, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

I was given permission to create the article by the establishment, and the image in question is the symbol of the organization on it's main page. I'm still working on finding articles for sources, as there are several online blogs, and I'm attempting to find newspaper clippings about it's existence.

I know the organization has not been official incorporated yet, should the creation of this page wait until it has? Additionally, I know there is some hundred or so 'members.' but no one is keeping up with all of them. Brentwoody (talk) 18:49, 9 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Good idea. I'll move the article here shortly. You should in any case make the article more encyclopaedic in tone. You should make it a neutral factual article, not promote their views. And you don't need any organisation's permission to write an article about it.  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  19:29, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the help, and I'll do that. Does it read as promotion as of now? Brentwoody (talk) 19:38, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:TheSatanicTemplesymbol.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:TheSatanicTemplesymbol.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 17:33, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
