Speedy deletion nomination of Mary Kremer
A tag has been placed on Mary Kremer 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles – see the Article Wizard.

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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. E♴ (talk) 22:03, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Notability
You might want to take a look at WP:BIO and WP:POLITICIAN for notability standards for individuals, including political candidates. Merely running for office does not confer notability, and your articles appear to be political advocacy, rather than purely biographical information. Wikipedia should not be used for promotion; political platforms, except as they are encyclopedically associated with the subject, are more appropriate for something other than an encyclopedia.  Acroterion  (talk)  22:21, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
 * By the way, personal websites or campaign websites are considered self-sourced and are not considered reliable sources. Sourcing should be to third-party media to prevent a conflict of interest and to establish notability.  Unsourced or poorly sourced biographies may be deleted within two weeks of creation.

Speedy deletion nomination of Dave G. Dotterer
A tag has been placed on Dave G. Dotterer requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Dave G. Dotterer


A tag has been placed on Dave G. Dotterer requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  at the top of the article, immediately below the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate), and providing your reasons for contesting on the article's talk page, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

You may want to read the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. Bhockey10 (talk) 20:51, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

a rocky road
Well, you hit quite a hard road here. We see articles like these about this time in the election cycle. Please read WP:GNG and WP:Politician. Also, we cannot accept material that is not in public domain or under a GFDL. General, the outcome for these is to redirect to the appropriate election, though the WP:copyvio's are grounds to Cspeedily delete. Hope this helps. Dloh cierekim  01:32, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Copyright violations
Hi, Mwilhelm. Please note that it is a violation of Wikipedia policy to copy/paste copyrighted text into Wikipedia articles -- as you have done with Bob Horning, Chuck Thomsen and Mary Kremer -- and such text must be removed immediately. This protects not only Wikipedia, but also the work of outside authors. Wikipedia takes copyright violations seriously. Persistent attempts to add text copied from outside sources may result in you being blocked. If you have further questions about this, please feel free to ask. — Cactus Writer (talk) 01:38, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Mary Kremer
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Mary Kremer, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.surfingincognito.com/index.php?q=aHR0cDovL2VuLndpa2lwZWRpYS5vcmcvd2lraS9NYXJ5X0tyZW1lcg%3D%3D.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 22:16, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Mary Kremer
A tag has been placed on Mary Kremer 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.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from other sources without verifying permission.
