United Clans Swordsman Association
Hello ,

It seems to me that an article you worked on, United Clans Swordsman Association, may have something copied from http://theucsa.com/. It's entirely possible that I made a mistake, but I wanted to let you know because Wikipedia is strict about copying from other sites.

It's important that you edit the article and rewrite it in your own words, unless you're absolutely certain nothing in it is copied. If you're not sure how to fix the problem or have any questions, there are people at the help desk who are happy to assist you.

Thank you for helping build a free encyclopedia! MadmanBot (talk) 15:58, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of United Clans Swordsman Association


A tag has been placed on United Clans Swordsman Association, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. - MrX 17:25, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Deletion
Text or images that are published already can't be used here, no matter whether you wrote them or not. Please see WP:COPYVIO. I didn't delete for that, as there were two other reasons. I could see no claim to significance (see WP:GROUP for our policy on group notability - and while you're at it WP:RS about the reliable independent sources needed to prove it), and the article was promotional WP:SPAM. Putting prices in was only one thing. In addition to the reading list, I'd ask you to read WP:COI about conflict of interest - writing about subjects you are very close to.
