Speedy deletion nomination of Richard Reid (actor & screenwriter)
A tag has been placed on Richard Reid (actor & screenwriter) 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 blatant 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), 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.

October 2009
You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to No original research, Neutral point of view, and Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedians with articles.)  MuffledThud (talk) 17:50, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Answering to Copyright ownership at Talk:Richard Reid (actor & screenwriter)
From the talk page: The quoted text is not in breach of copyright since it is owned by the author of this Wikipedia entry — [ Unsigned .]


 * To address this, and all the other issues with the article aside, regarding the copyright question:
 * Since we do not verify user identities upon account creation, we have to resort to an external verification process to ensure anyone copying text under a claim of authorship or permission is indeed doing so rightfully. This process is described at [[WP:DCM]. While we understand that this may appear cumbersome, this is done to protect both the intellectual property of others as well as Wikipedia. Barring that, we cannot leave copyrighted material on display on Wikipedia, which explains why the article underwent some heavy-handed shortening.
 * That being said, at the time of this writing, the article does not constitute a copyright violation anymore and will be left alone for these matters. As other editors have pointed out, however, it currently falls short on several of our other inclusion criteria, most importantly, the presence of multiple independent third-party reliable sources providing neutral and independent coverage of its subject.
 * I took the liberty to briefly look for some but came up empty (the fact that the subject bears the name of another British citizen connected to prominent events doesn't exactly help). If such coverage exists, it would be best to add it to the article post haste. If there isn't any so far, you should probably wait until the subject receives such independent coverage before an article gets written about him (you?).
 * If you need any help, you can create a new section on your talk page and add helpme followed by your request below it, someone will be along shortly to assist you. Alternatively, you may also leave me a message on my talk page. Best regards, MLauba (talk) 15:51, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
