Speedy deletion nomination of Jack L Higgins


A tag has been placed on Jack L Higgins 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. 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 that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.  — Francophonie&#38;Androphilie (Je vous invite à me parler ) 18:27, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Your contested deletion reason
Hi, there, Marty. I saw that you had contested the deletion of Jack L Higgins. I was going to put up a little banner asking that admins hold off on deleting the talk page until I could respond to you, but the article got deleted before I could, and it's standard practice to delete talk pages along with articles. Anyways, so, in response to what you wrote, the problem is that we can't know that you are in fact the person who wrote this obituary. Now, if you'd like to confirm this, and to make it so you can use the text you wrote there, you should read our instructions on donating material to Wikipedia - I'd recommend that you add a note on the blog post saying you've released it under the CC-BY-SA license; then, to add the material to an article, you'd have to be sure to include an edit summary reading something like "copying text from [URL], licensed under CC-BY-SA."

However, I should warn you that the article would've probably been deleted even if you'd done this - see A7 (non-notable) and G11 (promotion), two other criteria for speedy deletion that may have applied. You may want to read our general notability guideline before creating another article, as well as checking out some of the article creation links I gave you in my welcome message above. Thanks. — Francophonie&#38;Androphilie (Je vous invite à me parler ) 18:46, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. Safiel (talk) 00:30, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
