Speedy deletion nomination of William "Sandy" Darity, Jr.


A tag has been placed on William "Sandy" Darity, Jr. 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 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 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, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to 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 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. red dog six (talk) 03:33, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of William "Sandy" Darity, Jr.


The article William "Sandy" Darity, Jr. has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have 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 tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. ~ Excesses ~ (talk) 17:01, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Deletion
Wikipedia takes a very strict line on copyright violation. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. The Duke page clearly states that its text is copyright, and all rights are reserved, so you cannot copy it verbatim or closely paraphrase it.

And if I AM with Duke and manage the page and the CV content thus making it my copy to edit, share, and publish?

I have permission from the owner of the CV to use the CV in the creation of the wiki page. The content of the CV is owned by William Darity, Jr. not Duke. That's how CVs tend to work. I have read your policy but don't yet understand how I would provide evidence of ownership of what is, essentially, someone's resume.
