Speedy deletion nomination of User:Clairebear7


A tag has been placed on User:Clairebear7, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page 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 an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Alexf(talk) 17:10, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Copyright, notability, COI
Wikipedia cannot accept material copied from other sites unless a formal copyright release has been made. Assertion of permission is not enough; for one thing, we have no way to be sure that someone on the end of a wire is who they say, and for another Wikipedia's license terms are very broad, allowing readers to copy, modify and use material for any purpose including commercial, so that mere permission to reproduce is not enough, and it is essential that the copyright holder understands and agrees. Minor re-wording is not enough to avoid a copyright violation. See Copy-paste, and for more detail Copyrights.

The way to give permission is explained at WP:DCM, but this is seldom worthwhile, because material written for other purpose is usually too promotional in tone, or otherwise unsuitable for an encyclopedia article.

User pages are for the individual volunteers, who are here to help build an encyclopedia, to say a little about themselves, if they choose, to assist communication within the project. They are not intended for "substantial content... that is unrelated to Wikipedia."

The place for information about an organization is in an encyclopedia article, but Wikipedia is not a notice-board or a business listing directory: it is selective about article subjects. The criterion used is called notability, and is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, 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 independent of the subject thought it significant enough to write substantial comment about? See WP:42 for the kind of coverage required. Many entirely worthy organizations cannot meet that test, but Wikipedia does not set out to list every organization that exits, any more than every person or every band.

Also, if you are connected with the organization, you should read the guideline on WP:Conflict of interest.
