Speedy deletion nomination of Change of heart by robbie pittman


A tag has been placed on Change of heart by robbie pittman, 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 is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. (See section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. EvergreenFir (talk) 18:06, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Change of heart by robbie pittman


A tag has been placed on Change of heart by robbie pittman 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.publishamerica.net/product44755.html. 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.

Your book
I'm sorry, but self-published books very rarely get articles on Wikipedia. This is because they do not get the reviews and attention that books from the regular publishers get (not that all of them get articles either...). Facebook, Amazon and Barnes & Noble can't show notability, as they are not independent sources. Please see WP:RS to find out what are reliable independent sources. I've tagged for deletion for copyright violation, which, as it's probably your own work, might seem strange. The problem is that it's already published, and therefore is copyright. Wikipedia is licensed under Creative Commons CC-BY-SA 3.0 for free reuse by anyone, anywhere. That text you posted isn't licensed, and therefore can't be used here. If you can find references that show good and widespread coverage (and feel that you can meet WP:NBOOK), you can try again, but remember that wording must be neutral, and I'm afraid that the blurb was not neutral. (Of course it wasn't - it's there to sell the book; that's not what we are here for, though...) Good luck with it, and I advise keeping on at the regular publishers. They may offer less per copy in royalty, but by heck they shift more books. Peridon (talk) 18:25, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
 * PS Please don't remove the speedy tag. You're not allowed to. Doing it too much can be counted as vandalism. Another admin (not me) will decide, and someone will put the tags back anyway. Peridon (talk) 18:28, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Change of heart by robbie pittman
Hello Rdp1972,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Change of heart by robbie pittman for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. &#9790;Loriendrew&#9789;  &#9743;(talk)  02:50, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
