Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from PENSOLE, a page you have created yourself. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Click here to contest this speedy deletion and appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. - MrX 01:02, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Pensole
This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Pensole, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://futureoffootwear.com/about-pensole/.

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. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) MadmanBot (talk) 23:01, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Pensole


A tag has been placed on Pensole 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. § FreeRangeFrog croak 23:06, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Deletion reasons
Two really. First, the text you used was copyright. OK, you may have written it, but it's copyright and can't be used here. Wikipedia is licensed under CC-BY-SA for free reuse anywhere, and your text isn't. Look at WP:COPYVIO for more details. Second, I wouldn't recommend using the licensing procedure as it would get deleted again anyway. Look at WP:SPAM and WP:NPOV (neutral point of view). It was good promotional material - and, unfortunately, promotion isn't allowed here. Look at WP:GNG about general notability and WP:RS about reliable independent sources if you want to rewrite in line with the policies SPAM and NPOV. Peridon (talk) 23:17, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
