Speedy deletion nomination of BioCultural Landscapes & Seascapes (BCLS)


A tag has been placed on BioCultural Landscapes & Seascapes (BCLS) 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. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from https://plus.google.com/107478410160659334381/about. 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. red dog six (talk) 04:33, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

Copyright infringement
The problem is that even though you wrote the Google+ page, this is still against Wikipedia's rules as far as copyright goes. There is also the additional problem that it was written in a promotional tone and didn't have anything to show that your group is ultimately noteworthy. I can't seem to find anything on the internet to show that your group passes WP:GROUP. Don't take this badly- it's very, very difficult for an organization of any type or size to pass notability guidelines. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   07:45, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

Copyvio
The problem other than the copyvio is that there isn't any notability to show that your group passes WP:ORG. It was also wildly promotional for the group, which is natural when you consider that you'd originally wrote this for your organization's page to make people interested in it. There just isn't any notability in the slightest for your group. If there had been any substantial coverage I'd have been willing to clean the article up myself, but there just isn't any coverage and it's not up to Wikipedia to make up the difference. Not every organization is notable, not even if they're related to notable persons or cover notable subject matter. I'm going to decline your request to have the page restated for these reasons. Even without copyvio it would still be deleted for a lack of notability and there isn't any coverage to show that it would pass notability anytime soon. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   03:53, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
