 * The article you wrote was deleted as a copyright violation. Wikipedia cannot accept content copy-pasted from elsewhere. Furthermore, the article's tone was unduly promotional, singing Mr Gould's praise instead of providing unbiased facts. It also largely was not based on reliable, independent published sources. Thus even without the copyright issue that article was unsuitable for Wikipedia and could have been deleted for one of those other reasons, too. If you think Gould meets Wikipedia's standards of notability, particularly the criteria for soldiers, my advice would be for you to use the Article Wizard to write a draft by summarizing (in your own words) what reliable third-party sources such as newspapers or reputable magazines, or maybe history books, have reported on him, and to submit that draft for a review by an experienced editor.

Speedy deletion nomination of Thomas Garfield Gould


A tag has been placed on Thomas Garfield Gould 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. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://obits.dignitymemorial.com/dignity-memorial/obituary.aspx?n=Thomas-Gould&lc=3102&pid=173849438&mid=6278130. 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to 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. 2601:188:0:ABE6:18BA:9D03:B907:ADF2 (talk) 02:58, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
