Speedy deletion nomination of William Folorunso Kumuyi


A tag has been placed on William Folorunso Kumuyi 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 a clear copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://dclm.org/about/pastor-w-f-kumuyi/. 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 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 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 "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.

Self-published sources
Recently, I've reverted a couple of your edits on William Kumuyi because they involved adding as sources material that was self-published: one was a book that the author had paid to publish, the other was a blog (most blogs are self-published.) When it comes to articles about people who are still alive, Wikipedia doesn't allow the use of self-published sources unless they are written by the subject of the article (and even then, there are some strong limitations.) Please see WP:BLPSPS for more information. --Nat Gertler (talk) 14:04, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
