Speedy deletion nomination of Electronic_Components,_Assemblies,_Equipment_&_Supplies_Association
Hello Eerzfan,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Electronic_Components,_Assemblies,_Equipment_&_Supplies_Association for deletion, because it seems to be an advertisement, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, 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. Thanks, → Σ σ  ς. 20:06, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Contested Speedy Deletion
Hello there! Unfortunately I had to delete your article as it fell afoul of our speedy deletion criteria. I know you said that the text therein was neutral, but I would encourage you to look at our neutrality policy to get to grips with what we mean by the term.

I will also give you an example here. Your article said:


 * "Strategically positioned to be service-oriented and member-responsive, ECA is a dynamic, flexible, and proactive industry association that can draw upon a network of resources to increase and expand the programs and services it provides to its members and the industry."

You can see here the sentence is making many, many claims without reliable sources verifying the them, or indeed, a description of how the company fulfils these criteria, or indeed, what the criteria are. There is no possible way to rephrase this sentence so that it provides the salient facts surrounding the company.

If you'd like help re-writing your article, I would suggest you use our article wizard, which will take you step-by-step through the article writing process. Good luck and happy editing! PanydThe muffin is not subtle 20:21, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Electronic Components, Assemblies, Equipment & Supplies Association


A tag has been placed on Electronic Components, Assemblies, Equipment & Supplies Association 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. 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 that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. 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. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Whpq (talk) 17:01, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

The page itself was directed from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Industries_Alliance which has information on the other former sectors of EIA. I inserted this information on the Electronic Components, Assemblies, Equipment & Supplies Association (ECA) from information we had created for the former ECA website www.ecaus.org which now directs visitors to the new ECIA website www.eciaonline.org. I am the President of ECA and we continue as a legal entity until ECA fully merges into ECIA. I placed this infomration in the Electronic Components, Assemblies, Equipment & Supplies Association wikipedia page to inform visitors of the original mission of ECA as the components sector of the former EIA. Much more information could be provided similar to JEDEC, but I need to be sure it is desired.

 * Reply - In this latest case, the article was speedily deleted because it copied material directly from the web site with no evidence that the material is available under a free license compatible with Wikipedia's. The above deletion notice includes a link letting you know how to donate the material to Wikipedia.  But I should let you know that the material would likely be judged to be inappropriate as it would appear to be advertising.  As somebody involved in the organisation, you should also be aware of the policy on conflict of interest. -- Whpq (talk) 13:48, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
