Speedy deletion nomination of Sandy Salmon


A tag has been placed on Sandy Salmon requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 19:23, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Deletion
I deleted this article precisely because "this is an article purely to increase the web-presence of the candidate, Sandy Salmon. I am her campaign manager. This information is nearly a direct quotation from her official website." First, Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia and not the place for trying to increase anybody's web presence. WP:SPAM. Second, being involved with the subject means you should read WP:COI - our policy on conflict of interest. Third, please see WP:COPYVIO. Text that is published elsewhere and which is not public domain (because of its age) or Creative Commons CC-BY-SA 3.0 licensed cannot be imported to Wikipedia. This includes close paraphrase and mere changes of person and tense. Fourth, please see WP:POLITICIAN. Holders of certain elected public positions are considered notable, but candidates are not (unless they have prior notability - see WP:BIO). Fifth, 'own' websites are not considered reliable independent sources - please see WP:RS. Peridon (talk) 22:02, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
