Speedy deletion nomination of Cal Ripken world series


A tag has been placed on Cal Ripken world series requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — 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 or image 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 the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 17:11, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Personal note
I deleted your recent article, Cal Ripken world series, because it wasn't an article on that subject - it was just a paragraph on how you felt about your previous article being deleted. Your previous submission wasn't an article either - it was copied from another web site and pasted here. I looked up 'Cal Ripken World Series,' and it seems like an event that meets Wikipedia's notability criteria. I saw what looked like plenty of reliable sources discussing it. I don't see any reason why you couldn't write an article on that subject that would make Wikipedia better. If you want to, you could actually write an article for Wikipedia, a good one, and then it wouldn't be deleted. But if you'd prefer to blame Wikipedia for your own choice not to write an article, I guess I can't stop you. But why not try writing an article? We'd be glad to have one. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 20:17, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
