Speedy deletion of Ryan Blair
A tag has been placed on Ryan Blair 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 blatant 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 include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." 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), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

I have deleted the article you submitted because it was a copyright infringment and Wikipedia takes copyright issues very seriously. However, there are further issues I think you ought to be aware of, and perhaps tell the person who asked you to do this. Firstly, Wikipedia doesn't accept articles about anybody and everybody. People have to be "notable" - guidance on what that means is given here. Secondly, articles need to use independent and reliable sources to show that someone is notable, rather than a company's own website. So, for example, if a major newspaper has profiled someone, that's a good starting point for showing notability. Thirdly, Wikipedia isn't for advertising or promotion - see here. Fourthly, people with personal or company connections with someone ought not to write about them, since it is difficult to write from a neutral point of view given the conflict of interest. I hope this helps explain how things work around here in a bit more detail; feel free to drop me a line on my talk page to ask more, or (as it's a holiday weekend here and I won't be editing much) you can add below this message with your question and wait for someone else to stop by.
