Speedy deletion nomination of Eva Lomnicka
A tag has been placed on Eva Lomnicka 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 blatant 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), 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.

warning and advice
As reviewing administrator -- since I see these are important academics, I reduced the article to a stub, just the key identification as professor at King's. You must not introduce articles here copied from other sources. Even if you own the copyright to the source, you must  give us permission according to our formal rules, which requires   you to explicitly license the rights to the material according to our licensing using the CC-BY-SA  and the GNU  licenses, as explained in WP:COPYRIGHT and WP:Donating copyrighted materials ; these  give everyone in the world an irrevocable license to reuse and alter the material, even for commercial purposes. We take this very seriously, because we strictly follow copyright requirements. Additionally, you must choose a different user name--we do not allow corporate user names,  --see WP:USER.

And I call attention to the rules on WP:Conflict of interest. DGG (talk) 22:49, 1 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Ditto with the main article, King's College School of Law. It is particularly troubling that some of the material you inserted is not even your own,  such as the material from Hart Publishing, and The Center for Transnational Legal Studies. Only the copyright owner can give the necessary permission. We are prepared to think that for material from your own websites, the intent was to donate, but you neglected to check the necessary formalities. It is not possible to think this for other people's copyrights. If you continue doing this, you will be blocked from contributing.

Copyright problems may apply to some of the photographs also. You specified that they are your own work--but does that mean that you as an individual took them? You presumably mean rather that the school owns the copyright and is donating the material under our license, but you must say so. I remind you that it is relatively rare that an academic institution is willing to release such photographs for the world to use freely, as we require.

I note there that even if copyright permission were available, the material is not necessarily suitable--you must write like a neutral encyclopedia article and avoid puffery and praise of how important you are. It's obvious enough from a plain description. I assume you are a press agent for the school. If you are going to write articles for Wikipedia, you must learn to write in a way appropriate for the medium. Please see our FAQ  about businesses, other organisations, and articles like this for general assistance.

In listing notable academic staff, you can include only those who have Wikipedia articles or would obviously justify them. You would be well advised to write the articles first--free of copyright violation, of course. DGG (talk) 01:41, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of John Phillips (law)


The article John Phillips (law) has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp/dated tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Rathfelder (talk) 07:18, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
