Proposed deletion of Chenco


The article Chenco has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. red dog six (talk) 02:33, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

Chenco
Hello Psychographic, I have moved your comments on Chenco to Talk:Chenco as we usually try not to have discussions inside of articles themselves. I hope that's okay! --Noiratsi (talk) 16:57, 10 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi again,
 * I'm afraid I didn't realise that the talk page Talk:Chenco would be routinely deleted once the article was gone. My mistake, I'm sorry. I'd like to offer some help.
 * Firstly, if you'd like a copy of the deleted page you can find someone who can help you at Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles. These are users with access to the deleted page who have indicated that they're willing to help users like you get their work back when it's been deleted.
 * Secondly, the user who originally deleted your article was . If you want to ask him more about the deletion you can do so at his talk page, User talk:Jimfbleak
 * The page was originally deleted under section G12 of the speedy deletion guidelines. That section can be viewed at WP:G12 if you want to know more about the process and the reasons behind it.
 * Finally, I'm sorry that my earlier suggestion of commenting on the talk page wasn't helpful. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask them here (I'll see them) or on my talk page. Thanks! --Noiratsi (talk) 13:37, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Copyright and notability
The page cannot be restored, because it is copied from previously published material, for instance http://bellsouthpwp2.net/l/e/lelieuz/ArtByChenco_Main.htm. Even though it does not display a copyright sign, that is copyright to somebody, and Wikipedia cannot hold copyright material, not even in sandboxes or user pages, not even temporarily. Please read Copy-paste and for more detail Copyrights.

Assertion of permission to use is not enough; a formal copyright release is necessary, as described in WP:Donating copyrighted materials.

That is not usually worth doing, because material written for other purposes is generally too promotional in tone for an encyclopedia article, which requires a neutral point of view, and requires claims to be verifiable. Wikipedia is not a noticeboard for display of people's own publicity material, and is not for advertising or promotion of any kind.

Article subjects need to have notability, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." There is more detail at WP:Notability (people), particularly the section WP:ARTIST, and good advice on how to write an acceptable article at WP:Your first article.
