Speedy deletion nomination of Ingurgitating oblivion
Hello IO official,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Ingurgitating oblivion for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. TheLongTone (talk) 13:49, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Ingurgitating oblivion


A tag has been placed on Ingurgitating oblivion, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may 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://ingurgitating-oblivion.com/history/biography/. (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 "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 deleted 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.

Reply to your comment
I noted your comment at Talk:Ingurgitating oblivion (type that one five times).... I'd like to clear a couple things up.

First, the article was copied from another website. Most of the material you find on the web is copyrighted and not freely licensed, unless it explicitly notes that it's licensed otherwise. That material does not. We cannot accept material that infringes copyright or is not freely licensed for others to reuse.

Second, however, is that we do not allow promotional material. You said that the information may be "useful to fans", but that is not the purpose of Wikipedia. We require all articles to be strictly neutral, never "talking up" or promoting their subjects. In addition, all article material must be supported by reliable sources, and the bulk of such referencing should have been produced independently of the article subject. If a substantial amount of source material like that doesn't exist about the subject, it's not an appropriate one for an article at all. If it does, an article must stick only to material the references actually verify, must present it neutrally, and must not just copy it.

If you would like to write a fan page or promotional page, there are many sites that do accept such material. I'm afraid this is not one of them. Seraphimblade Talk to me 18:48, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. 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. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Thank you. Alexf(talk) 19:10, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
