User talk:Marcel Red

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * Welcome!
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Marcel Red, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.mi2n.com/print.php3?id=187219.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 20:46, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Marcel Red


A tag has been placed on Marcel Red, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Some advice
Hello, I am afraid that I have deleted the above article. I did notice your request on the talk page for advice, so I'd like to explain why.

Firstly, we can't just accept a bare claim of someone holding rights to use copyrighted material. There is a process by which we can verify that someone has the rights to donate copyrighted material to Wikipedia if they wish to do so, detailed here: Donating copyrighted materials. However, since material on Wikipedia is required to be freely licensed, the owner or rights holder would have to be released so that anyone in the world would be free to use, copy, and modify the material in any way, without permission, restriction (aside from author attribution and maintaining the same license) or payment of royalty. Just permission to "use it on Wikipedia" wouldn't suffice. We want to make sure people fully understand what they'd be agreeing to before they make that decision.

In this case, however, it wouldn't matter as we'd be unable to use that material even if it were donated. We do not allow promotional content. As a couple examples among very many of promotional language in the article, consider "...musical standout with an immeasurable amount of charm and Latin sex appeal.", and "All song are promising to be hits and they have a sense of freshness, and innovation in the music industry." Of course, since the material is from the artist's website it would be expected to be promotional, but Wikipedia articles must be in a strictly neutral tone.

If you work for or are affiliated with this artist, you would of course have an interest in promoting him, so it would be very hard for you to retain that required neutrality. If, for example, most reviews of an artist's material were negative, the article would need to correspondingly indicate that. Given that, it would probably be best for you to put the article through one of the curated creation processes, where it could be checked for issues before "going live". If you'd be interested in giving that a try, let me know (I'll see if you respond here), and I'll give more detail. Also, if you're paid for editing Wikipedia in any way, there are some disclosures required by our terms of use. The details are under "Paid contributions without disclosure."

Finally, we accept articles only on subjects where there is reasonably extensive coverage of them in reliable sources that are unaffiliated with and have no interest in promoting (or denigrating) that subject. In practice, this would often include reputable newspapers, and sometimes highly reputed and independent industry journals or the like. Self-published material or reprinted press releases, as well as short blurbs or mentions in passing, wouldn't count here. We want reputable sources to verify article content, and we want a good variety of them to ensure we can synthesize them together in order to write a neutral and reasonably complete article. We can accept only referenced material, not personal knowledge or the like. We're especially strict on that standard when, as here, the article would be a biography of a living person.

I'm sure I've given you a lot here. If you have any questions, please do feel free to ask. As I said above, I'll have this page on watch, so I'll see it if you post any questions here. Seraphimblade Talk to me 22:28, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
