Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. ''You need to email Wikipedia's OTRS team to prove you have the permission for the material to be published here. Also, he may or may not be notable enough for an article. If you feel he is, please only include information from reliable sources. Following the tips in your welcome message will do you well. Thanks.'' SS  ✞(Kay) 20:05, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Your contributed article, Lamont Johnson Bassist
Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Lamont Johnson Bassist. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Lamont Johnson (Legendary Detroit Bassist). Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Lamont Johnson (Legendary Detroit Bassist) - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. JamesBWatson (talk) 21:19, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Please do not continue to add copyrighted material to Wikipedia.
If you have written the material yourself, you may wish to state that with a on the talk page. If you actually have gotten permission, you need to provide proof. This usually comes in the form of an email to Wikipedia. I'm just finding the link to that now. SS ✞(Kay) 21:32, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Copyright and notability
I see that on the talk page of the article Lamont Johnson Bassist you have written "I got permission from Lamont Johnson to obtain his bio from his website". However, unfortunately it is not as simple as that, for several reasons. Firstly, since anyone can create a Wikipedia account, we cannot simply take an anonymous editors word for it that they have copyright permission. Secondly, it is not enough that someone has said "you can copy this information to Wikipedia": the copyright owner has to have given permission which clearly allows use under the terms of the licenses which Wikipedia uses, which allow very broad reuse by others. I suggest you follow this link to see suggestions as to how to donate copyright material. However, I think it is only fair to warn you that even if you do clear up the copyright issue it is still possible that the article you have created will be deleted for other reasons. It is not at all clear that Lamont Johnson satisfies Wikipedia's notability criteria, and unless it can be shown that he does then the article will probably be deleted, so I would strongly recommend that you read at least the general notability guideline and perhaps the guideline on notability of people. Please feel welcome to let me know if you have any questions about this. JamesBWatson (talk) 21:34, 19 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Further advice: yes, to use the material you need to follow the copyright release steps explained above; just asserting that you have permission is not enough. Also, even if the copyright issue were resolved, the promotional tone of a personal website is likely to be unsuitable for an encyclopedia article, which requires a neutral point of view. WP:Your first article gives good advice on how to write an acceptable article, and explains the need for notability, a requirement to have a Wikipedia article, which is not a matter of opinion but needs to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, blogs, places where anyone can post; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and press releases. WP:BAND gives more detail about notability criteria for musicians. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 22:12, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
