Speedy deletion nomination of Denver Christian School
Hello DCS123,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Denver Christian School for deletion, because it appears to duplicate an existing Wikipedia article, Denver Christian High School.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

There have been various problems with this account, including the following.


 * 1) Your editing has ben purely promotional, which is not permitted by Wikipedia policy. Telling the world that your school " offers a full and rich curriculum designed to educate the whole child", that its "mission" is "to inspire and equip the students of Christian families with God's transforming power and love" and so on may be acceptable on the school's web site, but it has no place in an encyclopaedia which seeks to give coverage from a neutral point of view.
 * 2) It is clear both from your user name and from your editing that your account is used on behalf of a business or other organisation, rather than an individual, which is also against Wikipedia policy.
 * 3) You have posted content copied from another source. It is almost never suitable to copy content from another web site to Wikipedia, for more than one reason, the most important being copyright. When you post anything to Wikipedia you release it for anyone in the world to reuse it, either unchanged or modified in any way whatever, subject to attribution to Wikipedia. It is very rare that the owner of a web site licenses content for such very free reuse, and in those few occasions when they do so, we require proof of the fact. We don't assume that content is freely licensed on the unsubstantiated say so of just anyone who comes along and creates a Wikipedia account, for the simple reason that very often people come to Wikipedia and falsely claim to have copyright rights that in fact they don't have. Also, even on the rare occasions when there is no copyright problem, content from an organisation or business's own website is not usually suitable for a Wikipedia article, as it is almost invariably written in terms designed to promote the organisation and give a good impression of it, rather than presenting it from a neutral point of view.
 * 4) At least one other account used by your school is blocked from editing for exactly the reasons I have just described, which means that your account is being used to evade that block. Whether you personally used any other account, or someone else working for the same school, makes no difference. Unless and until a Wikipedia administrator accepts a request to be unblocked, using a new account to evade a block on an existing account is not permitted.


 * Because of the above problems, this account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
