Proposed deletion of Omar Rahbany


The article Omar Rahbany has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no reliable references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp/dated tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Cahk (talk) 08:35, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Omar Rahbany


A tag has been placed on Omar Rahbany 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 https://www.facebook.com/Omar-Rahbany-1026790367427794/about/. 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 and notability
Wikipedia cannot accept copyright material without a formal copyright release from the actual copyright owner, as described in Donating copyrighted materials. Assertion of permission to use is not enough.

Quite apart from the copyright issue, posting copies of the subject's own promotional material does not make an acceptable encyclopedia article. Wikipedia is not like social-networking sites: it requires a neutral point of view and is not for promotion of any kind. Also, it is selective about subjects for articles. There is an inclusion criterion called Notability, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Youtube, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people not connected with the subject thought him significant enough to write substantial comment about? See also Notability (summary) and WP:MUSICBIO.

Independent references serve two purposes: they confirm that the subject is of enough general interest to justify an encyclopedia article, and they provide source material from which to write an article which is more than just the subject's own story about himself.

There is some background to all this at User:JohnCD/Not a noticeboard, and there is good advice about how to write acceptable articles at WP:Your first article. Since you are evidently connected with or employed by the subject, you should also read WP:Conflict of interest and the WP:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide.
