Speedy deletion nomination of Government Boys High School Hasil Saru


A tag has been placed on Government Boys High School Hasil Saru, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be a clear copyright infringement of https://www.facebook.com/HighSchoolHasilSaru?v=info&expand=1&nearby&refid=17. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) 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 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. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.

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.

Deleted page
I've deleted the page because ultimately it had two issues: copyright issues and tone.

Even if your friend gave you permission, we have no way of actually verifying that on Wikipedia and your friend would have to file a ticket through WP:ORTS giving Wikipedia permission to use the material. However even if he did that, you would still have to re-write the text since it was extremely promotional in tone. When writing a new entry, avoid phrases like "keen to quench their thirst for knowledge and understanding" since that's considered to be too promotional. You should also make sure that the high school has been the focus of coverage in independent and reliable sources like newspaper articles about the school. These sources do not have to be in English but they should talk about the school in-depth and should not be things like routine notifications of events that the school has done or focus on individual achievements of its students or staff since those individual achievements aren't really about the school itself. They would be influential, but not in the way that Wikipedia would consider to be a way that would give notability. I'd recommend going to WikiProject Pakistan, a WikiProject that focuses specifically on Pakistan, for assistance. Not only could they help you look for sources but they'd also be able to give you general advice and recommendations along the way. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  09:22, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
