Speedy deletion nomination of "Puppet"


A tag has been placed on "Puppet" requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.npr.org/sections/allsongs/2016/11/02/500266764/guest-dj-aurora-on-her-love-of-heavy-metal-and-leonard-cohen. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material 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 use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy 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 "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 deleted 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. ~ Amkgp 💬  02:36, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of "Puppet"


A tag has been placed on "Puppet" requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to Conqueror (Aurora song)—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 13:22, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Contributions to Aurora articles
I notice that your surname is the same as that of Aurora... are you related to her, or do you have some other connection to her? You should be aware of WP:COI and it would be a good idea to declare any connection to her.

You should also read WP:NALBUMS and WP:NSONGS – the reason why some of your articles are being deleted or redirected is because they do not meet Wikipedia's notability requirements. The only sources in some of them are interview quotes from Aurora herself (which are primary sources) and do not demonstrate notability, and often those quotes come from sources that are considered unreliable. Thank you. Richard3120 (talk) 20:23, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

Exist for Love moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Exist for Love, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Orphaned non-free image File:ExistForLove.webp
Thanks for uploading File:ExistForLove.webp. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
