Speedy deletion nomination of Bernard Susser


A tag has been placed on Bernard Susser 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://politics.biu.ac.il/en/node/674. 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. red dogsix (talk) 18:04, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Bernard Susser. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Contest this speedy deletion, which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. red dogsix (talk) 20:49, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

Your article
So Wikipedia can be baffling at times, let me explain what's happening. One, you have a declared conflict of interest, which means right off the bat you should not be creating this article directly. The correct process is for you to create a draft, and submit it for review. I have moved your article here: Draft:Bernard Susser. You are welcome to work on it and submit it when it is ready. You'll want to read this to understand that we need sourcing for biographies. You'll also want to tone it down a bit in the sense that it looks like a vanity bio (no offense, that's just what happens when family members write about their loved ones). Second and more importantly, Wikipedia is not a directory of people, and so your bio must meet certain inclusion guidelines, which can be either these or these. And you must prove it by using citations to sources, ideally independent of Mr. Susser. And finally, I will block this account, because it gives the impression it is shared by multiple people, which is not allowed. You are welcome to create a new personal account and edit the draft normally. Accounts are not tied to articles in any way. If you need help with editing, you're welcome to use the Tea House. § FreeRangeFrog croak 22:00, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
