Speedy deletion nomination of Jordan Pal


A tag has been placed on Jordan Pal 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 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.

 * On Talk:Jordan Pal, you wrote that the article should not be deleted as a copyright infringement because it is your bio. This is problematic on several levels:
 * You should not create your own autobiography on Wikipedia. If you are notable enough, someone else will likely do it for you.
 * There are ways to donate copyrighted material. It is rarely worth the effort though, because your website serve a different purpose than Wikipedia. Your own personal website serves to promote you and your career (why else would you pay good money to have it hosted?), but Wikipedia does not serve this purpose, so the promotional language at your website isn't appropriate for inclusion at Wikipedia.
