Steve Johnson (CEO)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Steve Johnson (CEO), and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://stevejohnson2010.com/sbcc/personalinfo.php?page=biography. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 12:44, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Steve Johnson (CEO)
A tag has been placed on Steve Johnson (CEO) 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 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.

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.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Steve Johnson (CEO), a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you.  Teapot  george Talk  12:50, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Reasons for deletion
I noted the "hangon" tag you applied to the above-captioned article and the message you left on its associated talk page. Although I believe what you said there, that you're an employee of this gentleman and have permission to quote from his website, which means that the copyright violation could probably be cured, that's not the reason I deleted the article. There are a number of different reasons why this article could have been deleted; my principal reason was that Mr. Johnson doesn't appear to meet our notability guidelines. Merely being a candidate for political office does not make a person sufficiently notable to be the subject of a Wikipedia article; you can refer to WP:POLITICIAN for information about the threshold of notability for politicians. It also seemed to me that this article was attempting to advertise Mr. Johnson's candidacy for office, which is also against our rules. You may also want to look at our conflict of interest guidelines; since you are employed by the subject it is unlikely that an article about him contributed by you will be able to escape very heavy scrutiny to ensure it meets our neutral point of view policy and you may be unhappy when such an article is extensively edited. If you wish to have the deleted content restored to what we call a "sandbox" page where you can work to cure the copyright violation, feel free to leave me a note (please be specific about the name of the deleted page) and I'll be happy to do that for you. Best of luck with your future contributions. Accounting4Taste: talk 16:55, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
