Speedy deletion nomination of The American College of Trust and Estate Counsel


A tag has been placed on The American College of Trust and Estate Counsel, 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 encyclopedic.

Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can 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 a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

 * The same problem - that text (or much of it, anyhow) was copy-pasted from http://businessdirectory.bizjournals.com/washington/legal/3301134/american-college-of-trust-and-estate-counsel.html - The American City Business Journals owns that text, we can't include it in Wikipedia, because Wikipedia is freely licensed.
 * That said, of course the tone is highly promotional - that's how organisations write about themselves. Trying reading soem articles to get a sense of tone before trying to write any more.  Featured Articles should have good suggestions of well written articles. Wily D  16:10, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

 * You know, the article was written in a really spammy tone, but I really wanted to rewrite it to save it, since it's clearly about a notable topic.  But then I learnt it was copy-pasted from .  Wikipedia's licensing means we can't re-use text from anywhere else, because it's licensed under the CC-BY-SA and GFDL.  Only freely licensed text can be used.  On the plus side, the text you copy-pasted was wholly unsuitable for Wikipedia anyhow, as Wikipedia articles must be written from a neutral point of view, something copy-pasted text never is.

Sandbox
If you're looking for a place to work/test stuff, you might consider using User:DCHypeWriter/Sandbox. While really spammy stuff, and copyright violations, are still likely to be deleted there, works in progress are generally given more latitude. If you have any questions, please ask.

Proposed deletion of American College of Trust and Estate Counsel
Hello, DCHypeWriter. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, American College of Trust and Estate Counsel, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:


 * 1) edit the page
 * 2) remove the text that looks like this:
 * 3) save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, LegoKontribsTalkM 01:23, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
