You said that you posted this entry to build a reputation for this association. That amounts to self-promotion which is specifically prohibited under Wikipedia guidelines.

Hellenic Electroacoustic Music Composers Association
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Hellenic Electroacoustic Music Composers Association, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.essim.gr/en/about.htm. 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.

This message was placed automatically, and 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 and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 14:00, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

HELMCA
The Hellenic Electroacoustic Music Composers Association is the National representative of electroacoustic music in Greece. Moreover, HELMCA is the official Greek Federation of the International Confederation of Electroacoustic Music (ICEM) http://www.cime-icem.net/. Moreover, is the national member of the IREM - International Rostrum of Elactroacoustic Music in UNESCO. It has more than 70 members and organizes various national and international events.

We believe such an association must be part of the Wikipedia. Please advise us what to do in order to be part of it and to follow the wikipedia regulations.

Notability of Hellenic Electroacoustic Music Composers Association
A tag has been placed on Hellenic Electroacoustic Music Composers Association requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: 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 this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, 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, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. – Sadalmelik ☎ 12:09, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Sandbox - still a copyright violation
I'm sorry but I have deleted the page as a WP:COPYVIO. I am not sure how to make you understand that you cannot copy and paste text from other sources unless the source text has explicitly been released to GFDL. GDFL is the "copyleft" licence that Wikipedia uses and which basically means that it is available for anyone to use anywhere they like either as posted or changed as they wish. There are two ways to confirm to us that the text has been released:
 * 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 include on your website a statement which releases all its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later.
 * or
 * Send written confirmation that the text has been released to GFDL which should be forwarded to the email address "permissions-en AT wikimedia DOT org"

You should not post any material until one or other of these processes has been done, and you should indicate on the talk page of any article which uses the "copyright" text how it has been released.

Also I must mention the issue of your potential conflict of interest. I am assuming from your username that you either are the VP of HELMCA or editing on behalf of him? Whilst it is not specifically disallowed, people editing articles about organisations they work for is strongly discouraged as we recognise that closeness to a subject may make it very difficult to be neutral - a good rule of thumb is that if a subject is notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia then likely an uninvolved editor will be along soon enough to create a page.
