Speedy deletion nomination of Charleston thug life


A tag has been placed on Charleston thug life 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://charlestonthuglife.net/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 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.  Pink Bull  19:50, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

Problems
One, copyright. Yes, you may own the site the text came from. No, you can't copy it into here. Wikipedia is licensed under Creative Commons CC-BY-SA 3.0 for free reuse by anyone anywhere. Your text isn't licensed in this way - there is a copyright notice on the page - and so no-one can copy it and reuse it. Two, your text is fine for a web site. Your website. You say 'we' did this and that. That's not the way Wikipedia is written. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia and it is written in a sort of boringly neutral style, and third person rules, OK. (On talk pages, one can get away with this. Not in articles...) Three, the subject of an article on Wikipedia must be shown to be notable. In this case, I would think WP:GROUP is the relevant policy, and WP:RS applies to everything. That's reliable independent sources. Not blogs, wikis (including us), own sites (even yours), Facebook and such, weebly, blogspot, wordpress etc etc. Wikipedia is free to edit (no charge), but there are rules. Four, your user name could be a problem as it appears to represent an organisation that you are editing about. See WP:USERNAME, and WP:COI about conflict of interest. Over to you...
