 * I'm sorry, your draft should not have been accepted in this state., will you please ensure that you always check for copyvio before accepting a draft? Thanks, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 20:39, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
 * User:Justlettersandnumbers I check every page I accept at AfC but earwig is not perfect. This was not a normal AfC draft submission but had been draftified months ago from mainspace and was about to be deleted G13 when someone caught it. See page history. Legacypac (talk) 21:59, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
 * No, indeed, it isn't perfect, . But in this case it rings enough alarm bells to stop a train. Copyright violation is an "instant fail" criterion, and a copyvio check should be the very first step in any AfC review. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:11, 26 June 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Thermogelling polymer


A tag has been placed on Thermogelling polymer requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://books.google.co.in/books?id=FiLBDAAAQBAJ&lpg=PR1&dq=Polymers%20for%20Personal%20Care%20Products%20and%20Cosmetics&pg=PA179#v=onepage&q&f=false. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material 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 use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy 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 "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 deleted 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. &#x222F; WBG converse 03:42, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
