Speedy deletion nomination of Fire defence
A tag has been placed on Fire defence requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article 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.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — 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 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 this notice was placed here in error, 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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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. &mdash; Timneu22 · &#32; talk 14:20, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

 * There is a procedure to use copyrighted info. Even if you complete the procedure, the article appears to be about a non-notable group or organization, and it reads like an advertisement. These are all violations of policy. &mdash; Timneu22 · &#32; talk 14:34, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Please tell me what differs this page from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyco_International... —Preceding unsigned comment added by FD4-13 (talk • contribs) 14:41, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
 * To begin with, Tyco International does not include such phrases as "We have expertise in all forms of fire protection". This kind of language is a red flag that an article is promotional in nature, and an unfortunate consequence of organisations copying and pasting material directly from their own websites into Wikipedia articles. The Tyco article has references - they are not perfect, but better than nothing. Any article on Fire Defense should include reliable, third party sources to back up the facts. For example, who recognised Fire Defense as being a "leading designer and installer of automatic sprinkler and fire suppression systems". If this was stated somewhere external to the company website (trade magazine or an award given), that would go some way towards asserting the company's notability. -- Kateshortforbob talk  15:06, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
