Speedy deletion nomination of Science Factory (Vitenfabrikken)


A tag has been placed on Science Factory (Vitenfabrikken) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear 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. 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 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. Yunshui 雲&zwj;水 12:57, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Status and Advice
As reviewing administrator, I had to delete the article for copyvio, and for being promotional about the museum.

A Wikipedia article needs to be written like an encyclopedia article, not a press release. Even more important, remember not to copy or use close paraphrase from a web site  -- first it's a copyright violation, but, even if you own the copyright and are willing to give us permission according to WP:DCM, or can get the owner to give such permission, the tone will not be encyclopedic and the material will not be suitable. In this case, the material was directed in the second person to the read: visit the museum and see this!. It needs to be written as a plain description of the museum.

Include only material that would be of interest to a general reader coming across the mention of the subject and wanting the sort of information that would be found in an encyclopedia. Do not include material that would be of interest only to those associated with the subject, or to prospective visitors--that sort of content is considered promotional.

Additionally, a Wikipedia article needs to show notability with references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases. The museum may well be sufficiently important, but it needs to be proven.  DGG ( talk ) 22:32, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
