Speedy deletion nomination of User:Fred Kaplan Music


A tag has been placed on User:Fred Kaplan Music, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be a clear copyright infringement of http://www.fredkaplanmusic.com/. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) 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 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. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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.

Contested deletion
This page should not be speedily deleted because... (your reason here) --Fred Kaplan Music (talk) 07:30, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

I have been a public figure for over 40+ years in the music industry of historical significance and influence. My public track record, personal discography and biography has been known in over 35 countries world-wide through my performances, teachings, speaking/lectures and recordings. I wish to make (more) known my artistic and historical contributions to the American Roots Music movement that I have been a part of since the early 1970's. I do not wish to advertise any product or services of any kind. Only to tell the accurate historicity of the influence I and the bands I have worked in have had on post-war Blues music. Here is just one example of the band on Wikipedia that I was a founding member. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_Fats

I hope you will consider my request to create a small article/page with regard to my contributions in music.

Thank you.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username.
