Speedy deletion nomination of Vince Wetta
A tag has been placed on Vince Wetta 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.

June 2009
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. A More Perfect Onion (talk) 15:10, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself. Please use the template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's. ''I appreciate your efforts to rewrite the article, and accordingly have tagged the article for hangon. Please continue the rewrites, as it will help make the case for an administrator to retain the article.'' A More Perfect Onion (talk) 15:34, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Vince Wetta
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Vince Wetta, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process&#32; because of the following concern:
 * state legislature representatives do not pass the notability guideline; WP:POLITICIAN recognises only top-level elected officials; i.e. U.S. Congress, UK Parliament. Not enough coverage in reliable sources to pass the general notability guideline.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. – Toon 17:27, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Addition of copyrighted text
Megjeff, it is not permissible to add text into any Wikipedia article that has been copied from outside sources. This is a violation of copyright laws and is taken very seriously by Wikipedia. Any text that infringes on copyright must be deleted, as was the case with your Vince Wetta article. And editors who repeatedly add copyrighted text can be blocked from editing. In the future, please remember that all text should be written using your own words and properly cited to independent outside sources. Your first article provides some helpful tips on getting started. Regards. — Cactus Writer |   needles  11:25, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
