Speedy deletion nomination of Harris Institute for the Arts


A tag has been placed on Harris Institute for the Arts 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; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Harris Institute for the Arts


A tag has been placed on Harris Institute for the Arts, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that 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 general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of Harris Institute for the Arts and leave a note on |the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Hairhorn (talk) 00:10, 10 January 2011 (UTC) why did Ohnoitsjamie delete my page on Harris Institute for the arts?

Speedy tags
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from 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. Hairhorn (talk) 00:34, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Article removal
why did you delete my page on The Harris Institute for the Arts? I am a student attending the school, and I wanted to create a wikipedia page for it. I was taking relevant information off of their website. How is this advertising? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamesparnell (talk • contribs)
 * You should ask the administrator that question on Ohnoitsjamie's talk page. Only administrators can see the contents of deleted pages, so I can't tell you why Harris Institute for the Arts was considered advertising, but perhaps Spam will help you.  Please let me know if I can help you with anything else.  Thanks!  --Mysdaao talk 17:50, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
 * The article was removed because it was a clear copyright violation. Copying and pasting content from other websites is not allowed on Wikipedia. We require contributors to own their content, or for it to be covered by a permissive license, in order to license the content for Wikipedia. If you want to contribute content, you'll have to paraphrase anything you read in another website, and put it into your own words. Then cite the original website as a secondary source or in this case, the school's own website is a primary source. Elizium23 (talk) 17:52, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
