Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Myrthe van de Weetering


A tag has been placed on Draft:Myrthe van de Weetering, 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. Legacypac (talk) 18:08, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for message. 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 her or an affiliated company, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the she claims or interviewing her. Much of your text was unreferenced, and sites like Ballerstatus don't meet the criteria for an acceptable source. Some of the refs seem to be establishing the notability of other musicians, and a Dutch TV show is both vague and uncheckable.
 * It's not clear that she meets the notability criteria linked above. None of the musicians or venues are linked to Wikipedia articles, she's made one album, but there are no sales figures, chart placings or major award details to show she is anything more than just another musician. the criteria for notability you posted on my talk page are ones you have invented, they are not the ones that apply here.
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced or self-sourced claims presented as fact include: First TV performance was in 1993 at the Lucky Lotto Live Show with Jaap van Zweden... an amazing crew of renowned musicians... He asked Myrthe to try compose some tunes... unanimously praising reviews. Most reviews applaud the use of images as inspiration for compositions as well as for improvisation... laud the compositional mastership reflected by the arrangements. Note that unanimous means without exception, not two or three cherry-picked reviews.
 * the article was a copyright violation of 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. 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 fact that you refer to her throughout by her first name and the fan page tone of your draft suggest that you may have a conflict of interest when editing this article, if so you must declare it. If you have a financial relationship, with her or an associated organisation you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:    . If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message.

We often restore deleted text on request, but for legal reasons we don't do so for copyright violations. 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 this important guidance. You must also reply to the COI request above Jimfbleak - talk to me?  15:59, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
