Speedy deletion nomination of Create Biographies of living person


A tag has been placed on Create Biographies of living person requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, 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. Under 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 that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). 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 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.  ttonyb (talk) 03:47, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Skylar Thomas
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Skylar Thomas, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.skylarthomas.com/biography.html.

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) 03:48, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Your addition to Skylar Thomas has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. NortyNort (Holla) 06:39, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Please stop re-adding copyrighted material into the Skylar Thomas article. See WP:COPYPASTE for more guidance and use your own words for the addition.--NortyNort (Holla) 07:01, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

How do I get the tags off the top of the Skylar Thomas article page? Please review and let me know if something is wrong.

Thank You help me
 * Did you follow the links in the tags? The blue text seen therein are links. When clicked on they link to various policies and guidelines such as Verifiability, Notability, Biographies of living persons, Citing sources, Identifying reliable sources and External links. Condensing those pages here would not be a good use of my time or yours, but the shortest answer I can give you to your question is that the information in articles needs to be verifiable through reliable, secondary sources that are entirely independent on the subject of the article, and that such sources existing will show the notability of the subject; that this can be done by using our referncing systems to provide inline citations to reliable sources you find; that because this is an article on a living person, the sourcing requirements are sharply heightened. Complying with these policies is the way to get those tags removed. Each of the tags still apply.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 03:59, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

I do not understand exactly what you're saying above?? Can you or someone edit or repair the article so the tags are gone? Thank You


 * I'll try and summarize this, but if you want the actual policy you should click on the links in the tags.


 * We want to cover information that is significant. Which information is significant?  Information covered in good sources.  Which sources are those?  Sources that have reputations for being accurate--which are respected for covering important information.


 * Right now this individual--who is probably a fantastic and promising artist--is only covered in 3 minor sources. To get rid of the tags, you need to find better sources.  If we can't find better sources, the article might not be able to stay in Wikipedia.  Wikipedia is not designed to promote artists, only to report on them once they have already been covered by several independent, significant, reliable sources.


 * A good overview of our policies is here: WP:SIMPLE.  Let me know if you have any questions. Ocaasi c 13:38, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi, I placed the notability tag on the article, because, as written, it does not meet the standards for notability regarding musicians. You can follow the link to view the specific criteria, and hopefully address the issue.  Rather than simply nominating the article for deletion, the idea is to give editors time to improve it; as it stands it is very unlikely to prevail in an articles for deletion debate.  If you have any questions, you can reach me on my talk page.  Sea photo Talk  19:44, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Hello, Marinerepair. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Skylar Thomas ‎, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Toddst1 (talk) 12:41, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
