 Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! The submission has not been accepted because it included copyrighted information, which is not permitted on Wikipedia. You are welcome to write an article on the subject, but please do not use copyrighted work.

 * You asked me on my talk page to elaborate. Web pages must be assumed to be copyrighted whether or not they explicitly carry a copyright notice (and the one linked here does carry such a notice "The Royal Hamilton Amateur Dinghy Club © (2015)").  Material is only in the public domain if it has gone out of copyright through age or it is explicitly released into the public domain by the copyright holder.  Anything created on the internet is simply not old enough to have gone out of copyright.  Even if it was not copyrighted it is still plagiarism to copy it without proper attribution and against Wikipedia guidelines.
 * On the notability issue, we require independent reliable sources that discuss the topic directly and in detail. Creating articles that do not meet this risks deletion.  Unless I am missing something (please point out if I am) the article currently does not meet this criterion. SpinningSpark 13:51, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:The Royal Hamilton Amateur Dinghy Club


A tag has been placed on Draft:The Royal Hamilton Amateur Dinghy Club requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.rhadc.bm/about/history/. 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — 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 or image 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
