Speedy deletion nomination of Renzo Sommaruga


A tag has been placed on Renzo Sommaruga 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.ebay.com/itm/Renzo-Sommaruga-Diario-Inciso-Verona-1994-/200609735109. 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. —Largo Plazo (talk) 17:40, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

This is the English-language Wikipedia, and contributions should be in English. The Italian Wikipedia is at http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/, but the following advice will apply there, too:

Wikipedia cannot accept copyright material on the basis that someone says they have the right to it. It is necessary that the actual copyright holder makes a formal copyright release. How to do that is described at Donating copyrighted material (see also it:Wikipedia:Copyright).

Even if the copyright issue were resolved, simply copying a website or using your personal knowledge will not make a satisfactory encyclopedia article. References are required, for two reasons: (a) because the Verifiability policy (it:Wikipedia:Verificabilità) requires that "any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source", and (b) in order to establish Notability (it:Aiuto:Cosa mettere su Wikipedia), which requires references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."

Lastly, as the subject's son, you should read Conflict of interest (it:Wikipedia:Voci promozionali o celebrative).
