Speedy deletion nomination of David B. Williams (academic)
A tag has been placed on David B. Williams (academic) 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 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.

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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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. ukexpat (talk) 16:05, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Please advise how to prevent deletion. I have removed the biographies as references. This page was created for strictly information purposes. Mcr0005 (talk) 18:03, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

advice
It is not the link which is in violation of copyright; it is the material from the link which is violation of copyright. As reviewing administrator, I have begun removing it, and it is no longer subject to speedy deletion. For the most part, there's no point in giving us permission, because the general praise of the accomplishments of the university during his tenure is not appropriate content for an encyclopedia, though perhaps some of it could be listed in a sentence or two. His academic accomplishments also need a rewrite; since I frequently work on articles of this nature I am doing this. What would really help the article, though, is the addition of a photograph, for which we would need a copyright release as explained above.  DGG ( talk ) 18:06, 20 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your help. I have a photograph I would like to add to the page.  Can you elaborate on what is needed for a copyright release?Mcr0005 (talk) 18:22, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
