Speedy deletion nomination of Mintra® Egypt


A tag has been placed on Mintra® Egypt, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of Mintra® Egypt and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.  RepublicanJacobite  The'FortyFive' 14:47, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Your recent addition 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 web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

re Mintra® Egypt
Hi Micassis - I wanted to leave you a note about your additions to the above article, which I have now deleted for a third time. The text you are using to create the article is copied directly from the company's website, which states that they hold the copyright on it. Wikipedia has a very strict copyright policy, and cannot accept this text, as it would be a copyright violation. I understand that you may be associated with the company, but you still cannot add this text unless Wikipedia is officially given the right to publish it. You can learn about how to do this on this page. In the meantime, I have protected the page from re-creation to avoid breaking our copyright rules. If you want to write the article again, you can request unprotection at WP:RFPP. Any article which is written about Mintra will still have to go by our other policies and guidelines, such as our guidelines on notability for companies, which means that you will need to provide references from reliable sources like newspapers, which have written about Mintra. You may wish to consider using another, more specialist website to publish your article, like About Us. You can find a list of alternative websites at this page. Please let me know if there's anything I can help you with. Good luck! -- &#9735;  Kateshortforbob talk &#9732;  19:27, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
