Delphi - Execute Files Helper
Hello ,

It seems to me that an article you worked on, Delphi - Execute Files Helper, may be copied from http://delphi-execute-files-helper.soft32download.com/. It's entirely possible that I made a mistake, but I wanted to let you know because Wikipedia is strict about copying from other sites.

It's important that you edit the article and rewrite it in your own words, unless you're absolutely certain nothing in it is copied. If you're not sure how to fix the problem or have any questions, there are people at the help desk who are happy to assist you.

Thank you for helping build a free encyclopedia! MadmanBot (talk) 13:03, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Delphi - Execute Files Helper


A tag has been placed on Delphi - Execute Files Helper, 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. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. TheLongTone (talk) 13:04, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

A few things
Delphi Freak: I'm pointing out some policy things to a group of editors who appear to be friends of. One is that for something or someone to have a page on Wikipedia, we require notability - which in practice means that several independent and reliable sources (for example newspapers) have written about it or him/her at some length. There's a brief summary here and more detailed standards for people are here and for companies here. Neither Shaun Roselt nor The Future Studios meet that standard yet; so they should not be linked to or listed as notable examples in other articles.

Also, your deleted article Delphi - Execute Files Helper was deleted as a copyvio. Wikipedia is publication, and therefore copyright violation is taken very seriously here. We cannot copy others' words, or change them only a little; we must summarize in our own words, and use only brief quotations, in quotation marks or indented, when necessary. See this essay. That is also how to avoid unsuitably promotional language; don't copy and paste, summarize. The same article was deleted again this month as overly promotional in tone.

Thirdly, you and Shaun have considerable overlap in editing interests, including working on the userfied User:Delphi Freak/The Future Studios and you adding his name to articles. It looks very much as if you may be the same person with two accounts. This is contrary to policy, but is a common mistake among new editors. If that is what happened, you should put a statement on both the user or user talk pages and it would be better to limit yourself to one account. If not, you may still want to make some sort of statement that you are different people, because the suspicion is going to keep arising if you continue to edit the same articles in similar ways.
