Speedy deletion nomination of Father Absense
Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 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.

Please do not delete: This is not a copyright infringement as both works are my own. I have taken portions from a previous 2006 article/excerpt from one of my books to create the basis of this 2009 article on Wikipedia. I will be adding a great deal of substance to this Wikipedia article with updated statistics, additional subtopics and further analysis. Again, what I posted is copied from my own work and is just the beginning of a much larger draft. Thank you.


 * If you want to donate material to Wikipedia, we need to have proof of this permission for use within the encyclopedia. As I am sure you can appreciate, we can't just take your word of it! The procedure to follow is detailed at Donating copyrighted materials. I would especially urge you to read "What it means to donate material to Wikipedia" - anything you donate can be used not only on Wikipedia, but anywhere else - Note that there is no way to say "you can use this in Wikipedia, but not anywhere else or in derivative works." Also "If you are the original author but the rights have been assigned to your publisher, you have given up the ability to license the work to us."
 * The main problem is that this is a published work, as opposed to a work online. It might be an idea to leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Requesting copyright permission to ask about donating copyrighted printed material. --  Phantom Steve  ( Contact Me, My Contribs ) 19:13, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Father Absence
A tag has been placed on Father Absence 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 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), 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. —Largo Plazo (talk) 18:28, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Please see my message above. Also, the "hangon" tag goes on the article 's talk page, not your own! --  Phantom Steve  ( Contact Me,  My Contribs ) 19:13, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
 * (ec) Hi, the template doesn't belong here, but directly to that article in question. I added it to Father Absence, but Father Absense is essentialy empty and I don't see why it shouldn't be deleted. If you are author of http://rfathers.net/blog/fact-sheet-on-father-absence/, look at WP:IOWN how to state that you are permitting its use on Wikipedia. Svick (talk) 19:18, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Update regarding copyright concern
Since we do not yet have verification of permission by the processes set out above and sufficient time has passed since the placement of the notice, the article has been deleted for copyright concerns. This deletion is not necessarily permanent. If you have already sent a letter to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License (CC-BY-SA) and GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) (if you are not the copyright holder or have co-authored the material, release under CC-BY-SA-compatible license alone is sufficient), the article will be restored when that letter is received and processed by the Wikimedia Communications committee. Likewise, if you have not yet sent a letter, you still may (or resend it, if you believe your original may have been lost), and the article will be restored when that letter is received and processed.

As Wikipedia does not require proof of identity on account creation, it is essential that we receive external proof of authorization in order to ensure that we remain compliant with US Copyright law. It is also essential that we verify that copyright holders understand the extent of the release they are authorizing, in that our licenses permit modification and reuse in any forum, even commercial publication, as long as authorship credit is maintained and future copies are compatibly licensed.

Please note that once permission is verified, the material may be evaluated and altered to meet Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Although we appreciate donations, we cannot guarantee that material donated will be retained.

Thank you. MLauba (talk) 13:48, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
