Speedy deletion nomination of Ian Stewart Black (Poet)


A tag has been placed on Ian Stewart Black (Poet) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. 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.  ttonyb (talk) 23:24, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Vandalism-only account
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because your account is being used only for vandalism. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Ian Cairns (talk) 23:59, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Listen. I'll be willing to unblock you, so long as you:
 * 1) Don't try to make the article about yourself again. It smelled very much like advertising, and you will (obviously) have a massive conflict of interest while editing this. (As a side, you're not quite up to our notability standard yet, anyway, I'm afraid.)
 * 2) Don't try to put your poetry on Wikipedia. This is really for your benefit, since by not posting it, you keep all the rights. In short, to post your poem on Wikipedia means that anyone can sell it on themselves (attributed to you, but still selling it) and that's not what you want as a teenage poet.

Thanks. 狐 Déan rolla bairille!  00:46, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi Ian. I'd just like to reinforce those points. If you wish to add your own copyright material, which has been published elsewhere on the web, to Wikipedia, then you have to release it by proper process - there is some information at Copyrights, where it says "If the material, text or media, has been previously published and you wish to donate it to Wikipedia under appropriate license, you will need to verify copyright permission through one of our established procedures. See Donating copyrighted materials for details." But you really must be aware that you would be effectively giving away commercial use of your material for free - the required license enables anyone else to take it, modify it, re-publish it, and even sell it, for free, as long as it is attributed. Also, and something that really makes this moot anyway, I've checked the last version of your article, and I agree that you do not yet satisfy Wikipedia's notability requirements for an article about yourself. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:32, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Another reinforcement. I looked at the deleted article expecting to have an 'oh gawd' reaction. I didn't get one. I can see definite potential, but hope that you don't use ABAB CDCD rhyming all the time. Vary your rhyme schemes. (I've even used ABCDBCB for an interesting effect.) But as Boing! said Zebedee says, you don't yet meet the notability requirement here. Yet. It can take a longish time to reach this in certain fields, where there is less general public notice and coverage in independent sources. You're well above the standard of 'The Marshpool Weekly Gazette and Clarion' Poets' Corner. Your time could well come - but by then you'll be appearing with Ian McMillan on 'The Verb' and someone else will have written the article. Till then, listen to what we're telling you (which you didn't before...). Don't give stuff away unless it is really throwaway material. Don't try to use Wikipedia as a launching platform. We wish you well, and hope to see an article that fits our requirements in the fullness of time, but we can't help you on the way. Do read the copyright things mentioned. Copyright is very important both to us and to you. If you let someone have some of your work privately, or publish it conventionally, the copyright is still fully yours. Here, you release control of it. It is yours, but you grant free licence to use it to anyone who wants to. Once more, good luck - and don't let rejection slips get you down. J.K. Rowling and The Beatles both got there with quite a collection between them. Many writers have become despondent and given up. But do give up posting this article here until you're further on the road to success, and next time ask for advice first to be sure. We do our best to help (but not to promote...).
