Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Speedy deletion nomination of Biolab Medical Unit
A tag has been placed on Biolab Medical Unit 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 blatant 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.

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, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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.  ttonyb (talk) 16:03, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

explanation, from the talk page there, before it gets deleted
Please note there is no direct reference to the copyright material shown, other than via the External link. I do not believe this is in breach of any copyright.


 * There are whole sentences that are copied from the document. Additionally, some of the sentences are only slightly reformulated and are still identifiable as from the original document.  ttonyb  (talk) 16:34, 21 October 2009 (UTC)


 * As reviewing administrator, deleted it, and I need to tell you that it certainly is. Copyright violation is copying material without a license to do so, and much of it is directly copied their informational booklet. A slight rewriting  maintaining the structure is called close paraphrase &   is also a violation .  But, even if you could give us permission according to WP:DCM, the tone is  not really encyclopedic and the material needs to be rewritten, avoiding all promotional language and adjectives praising yourself.. For further information, see our FAQ  about business, organisations, and articles like this. You need to show notability with references providing substantial coverage from  3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases  In this case, mention some key articles where the work is clearly from the laboratory as a group, not just Dr Howard or Dr Davies or Dr Miller


 * As for giving us permission, that permission must explicitly license the rights to the material according to our licensing using the CC-BY-SA and the GNU  licenses, as explained in WP:COPYRIGHT and WP:Donating copyrighted materials ; these  give everyone in the world an irrevocable license to reuse and alter the material, even for commercial purposes.  Be sure you intend to do that and have authority to do so.


 * Please reinsert the article when you have rewritten it & obtained the necessary permission--they are probably notable. Let me know on my user talk page & I'll have a look at it.

You might consider also doing individual pages for the three people mentioned; see WP:PROF for the standards. At least Dr. Miller is certainly suitable.  DGG ( talk ) 16:56, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
