Speedy deletion nomination of The Potter's House, UK


A tag has been placed on The Potter's House, UK 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 hang-on 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.

Thanks for the help. I have actually completed the necessary copyright infringement agreement and had a reply from Verno Whitney to confirm that. Yet still, the article has been deleted. Frustrating. (Pastorponixon (talk) 10:40, 10 March 2011 (UTC))

advice
Quite apart from copyright, it is not a good idea  to  copy from a web site --   even if you give us permission according to WP:DCM, the tone will not be encyclopedic and the material will not be suitable. An   article here should Include only the material that would be of interest to a general reader coming across the mention of the organization and wanting the sort of information that would be found in an encyclopedia. Do not include material that would be of interest only to those associated with the organization, or to prospective clients--that sort of content is considered promotional. The schedule of services is irrelevant. The doctrines you hold in common with other churches do not need to be stated explicitly, and neither do the generic statements of good intentions. What you do need instead are references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases. Without them the article might not be immediately deleted, but will nnot be kept when challenged in an AfD   deletion challenge. I advise you to do this very quickly, before the article gets nominated for deletion by a regular deletion process.  DGG ( talk ) 17:01, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the pointers. Much appreciated. As you can tell, I'm very new to this. (Pastorponixon (talk) 10:34, 10 March 2011 (UTC))

Your article
Abundant Life Church seems to have its own record label, which implies there are articles about famous Christian singers that need that article as support. I will be reviewing that article for promotional fluff later in the day.

As for your article, I will request that it be undeleted and have it moved to your userspace, so that we can work on it. However, be aware that if your church doesn't hold up to Policies and guidelines, it cannot be included in wikipedia. While waiting for the request, take the time to read that link. Phearson (talk)

I userfied the text at User:Pastorponixon/The Potter's House, UK. Spartaz Humbug! 04:10, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Hello Pastor, I have checked through the article and based on the information you have provided to the article and info pulled from the Internet, it appears that it may meet the notability requirements. However, I feel that if we were to implement the article into the main space again, it might be tagged again for speedy deletion. As it stands now, its not exactly something that you would find in a encyclopedia. However, I'll move it to the mainspace anyway, and we'll see what happens.

Much appreciated, thank you. (Pastorponixon (talk) 15:02, 11 March 2011 (UTC))

 * Any uncopyrighted pictures of the building you like to donate? Phearson (talk) 15:10, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

Probably, yes. Although, I'm just about to head out of work for a stag do weekend! So, at that the moment, I won't be able to send them. Thanks for all your help though. I'll probably be badgering you again in the near future! (Pastorponixon (talk) 15:17, 11 March 2011 (UTC))
