Speedy deletion of Corpus christi association of realtors
A tag has been placed on Corpus christi association of realtors, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Thingg &#8853; &#8855; 14:41, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Copyright problems
Hello. Concerning your contribution, Corpus christi association of realtors, please note that Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images obtained from other web sites or printed material, without the permission of the author(s). As a copyright violation, Corpus christi association of realtors appears to qualify for deletion under the speedy deletion criteria. Corpus christi association of realtors has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message.

If you believe that the article or image is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:


 * If you have permission from the author, leave a message explaining the details at Talk:Corpus christi association of realtors and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
 * If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Corpus christi association of realtors with a link to where we can find that note.
 * If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on Talk:Corpus christi association of realtors.

However, for textual content, you may simply consider rewriting the content in your own words. Thank you. PMDrive1061 (talk) 14:45, 4 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Rather than posting on the article's talk page, please consider sending an e-mail to the address "permissions-en (at) wikimedia.org", substituting an "@" for the (at). That address is the proper venue for declarations of permission to post copyrighted material and so forth. I'll add, though, that it's possible that the article, even if posted with permission, is unsuitable for Wikipedia, as it appears to be entirely promotional. I would strongly recommend rewriting it from a neutral point of view, so that it's less of a promotional "Here's how the CCAR can help you" and more of "The Corpus Christi association of realtors is a professional organization located in Corpus Christi, Texas. It does X, Y, and Z. The organization is notable due to X, Y, and Z." Then, add references (such as news articles and the like) that demonstrate the organization's notability, and you should be fine. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. UltraExactZZ Claims~ Evidence 14:56, 4 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I appreciate that you have the permission to post information from the CCAR's website, but that permission must be e-mailed to the above address ("permissions-en (at) wikimedia.org") to be considered valid. I've added a welcome template, above, that provides some helpful links; you might find some useful information about starting a proper, wikipedia-style article that is not promotional and will not be immediately deleted. Finally, talk pages (such as talk:Corpus christi association of realtors) that do not have articles associated with them are typically deleted; please feel free to leave messages here, on your user page, or - if you have a question for me or another user - on their user talk: page.

 * Thanks for your note to my e-mail address; I prefer to keep Wikipedia business out in the open on Wikipedia, so I've responded here. Your page, Corpus Christi association of realtors, was deleted because it was a particularly flagrant example of advertising, as you were informed above.  I suggest you read our spam policy by clicking on the link in the previous sentence before continuing, and/or find some other website upon which to advertise.  I also noted that the deleted material seemed to infringe our copyright policy, but the advertising aspect of the prose was particularly clear-cut and obvious, so I went with that.  Even if you could somehow compose an article that wasn't advertising, I doubt that your organization would qualify for an article under our notability guidelines governing companies, unless the organization has been the subject of multiple articles in books, magazines, etc., written by arm's-length third-party experts who testify to the notability of the organization in a verifiable way.  For further guidance, you might read WP:Why was my article deleted? or WP:Your first article.  If you have any questions about Wikipedia policy not answered by those sources, feel free to leave me a note.  Accounting4Taste: talk 19:32, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
