Speedy deletion nomination of Anna Levi


A tag has been placed on Anna Levi, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. red dogsix (talk) 23:43, 15 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for message. If you post an article it will be assessed as it stands. If you don't want that to happen, you should write it as a draft. I deleted your article because
 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that she meets the notability guidelines. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, as defined in the link, or they will be deleted. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the subject or an affiliated company, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, Wikipedia, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what she claims or interviewing her management. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls. You had no in-line references of any kind
 * You gave three external links, but one-was your own publication, not an independent source, and the others were reviews of here books, rather than supporting any claimed facts about her.
 * There's nothing in your article to verify that she meets the linked notability criteria. All we are told is an unsourced claim that she received an honourable mention at a non-notable festival
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced or self-sourced claims presented as fact include: has always held a strong awareness of the experiences and sensibilities of migrants and refugees... an unflinching depiction... hailed by no less an icon... no one has gone quite so far down into the muck, nor done so as convincingly, as what we see in Madinah Girl... ground-breaking experiments &mdash; basically an Amazon-type sales page for her books rather than an article about her
 * there shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
 * the article was a copyright violation of at least this page. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. The copied site was marked Copyright Academia ©2018. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial but there is no indication that the copied site allows free use. Text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.
 * The image of the book cover is also a copyright violation of the publisher's rights and will be deleted
 * You have an obvious conflict of interest and you must declare it on the artcile talk page. See also guidance for editors with conflicts of interest. I accept that it's not a self-written vanity page, I tagged it as such because these sorts of articles are usually written by the person or their management.

We often restore deleted text on request, but for legal reasons we don't do so for copyright violations. In any case, there was little factual content in your draft, so better to start from scratch.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article.

I hope this clarifies, Jimfbleak - talk to me?  14:52, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:KevinMeehan/sandbox


A tag has been placed on User:KevinMeehan/sandbox 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://muse.jhu.edu/article/690453/summary. 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. red dogsix (talk) 16:10, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
