Speedy deletion nomination of HealthDay News


A tag has been placed on HealthDay News, 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. (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.

HealthDay News
I ended up deleting the page because it was still written in a fairly promotional manner and it also had copyrighted material from another source. Even if the site were to give up the text as fair use, it would still be too promotional to use on Wikipedia. The other big concern I have is that there was no coverage in reliable sources. I can see where some articles have been reposted on various sites, but I can't find where there has been any true coverage for the site as a whole. To show notability you'd have to show where the site itself has been the focus of in-depth coverage in reliable sources that talk about HealthDay News and isn't just reposting content (articles, press release, etc) that has been produced by HDN. I don't see where this site ultimately passes our notability guidelines for websites. Also, if you are part of the HDN staff, you should read over our conflict of interest guidelines.
