Speedy deletion of Joys Sebastian
A tag has been placed on Joys Sebastian, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information.

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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Hi In the future, you should add the tag to your own talk page, by clicking the edit tab at the top of this page. What can I do for you? Amalthea 15:27, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, I guess I can already see what the problem is. Your first article was marked for deletion. I've removed that marker for now, but there are still problems with it that need to be fixed. First of all, it (still) sounds like a job application or a self advertisement, and not like an encyclopaedic article. It needs a severe rewrite before it becomes encyclopaedic, by writing it in the third person, first of all. Also, there are rather strict guidelines here on Wikipedia about which topics are included. For biographies, the guideline is outlined at WP:BIO. In a nutshell, there needs to be "significant coverage in reliable third-party sources", like in newspapers. Do you have something like that for Joys Sebastian? That's actually the more important issue, if it fails this inclusion guideline then it will most probably be deleted rather quickly. I'm assuming that you are Joys Sebastian yourself? Amalthea  15:37, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmm, that's what I was afraid of. When you started the article, you took a verbatim copy of the text from his webpage. The text there is copyrighted by him though, so we cannot accept it (it says so right below every edit box, "content that violates any copyright will be deleted"). I'm afraid I'll have to reduce the article to a very very bare version now, and will have to delete the revisions later that contain the copyrighted text. We can take information from other pages, but we can never take sentences - say it in your own words! Similarily, the image will have to be deleted, too. I agree however that the articles page on his official webpage indicates that he might be a notable person, so if someone disagrees, there will at least be a discussion. I just never ever heard of him before. I hope you understand. Thanks, Amalthea  17:27, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

 * OK great. Problem with pictures is that there are only very few free ones available online. The one you uploaded to commons now has also the appearance of a professional photograph. By default, every picture you find online is copyrighted, unless it explicitly says otherwise (and even then sometimes). That's why we have a distinct lack of good pictures on our biographic articles, we usually only have what someone can manage to take himself. -- Amalthea 17:47, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
