Speedy deletion nomination of NomadBSD


A tag has been placed on NomadBSD requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Articles for deletion/NomadBSD. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Copying material from other websites into Wikipedia
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. Certainly we can't accept text previously published on a web site which has a copyright notice saying "all rights reserved", as in the case of material you have posted JBW (talk) 21:56, 10 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Where do you read "all rights reserved"? Eritr (talk) 08:11, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
 * and by the way, it was one sentence. Your concern is exaggerated, for just one sentence. Eritr (talk) 08:14, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I read "All rights reserved" at the bottom of every page that I have looked at on the site https://www.freebsd.org; for example, https://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies/. JBW (talk) 21:15, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I haven't visited freebsd.org in a very long time; maybe you are confusing me with another user, or maybe you are confusing freebsd.org with another website. Eritr (talk) 21:08, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
