Speedy deletion nomination of Alex Henry Foster


A tag has been placed on Alex Henry Foster requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://alexhenryfoster.com/about/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material 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 use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy 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 "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 deleted 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.

Why did you delete the page I created?
Hello, I was wondering what made you delete the page I created for Alex Henry Foster? I took a lot of care at gathering all the information there is about the topic and I don't know why you removed it. Can you help me fix this? Thank you
 * Rocco Red, as you can see in the section above, the page was nominated for deletion because it was substantially copied from https://alexhenryfoster.com/about/. I deleted it because I agreed with that assessment. You can read about various aspects of our copyright policy by following the blue links in that section. If you want to start on a new page on Foster, I can restore the structure (but not the text) of the article for you. Please let me know – here is fine.
 * Do you have some connection to Foster or to Your Favorite Enemies, by the way? Your edits to that article are bizarrely promotional in tone. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:24, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply. I thought that Wikipedia required to have the most accurate info, therefore, it was natural for me to go directly to the source, which was the bio of the artist itself. I reworked the information I had found and wrote a text of my own. Would you approve of this one? I believe that the links I had found to support the information would still be accurate, as the information given remains existant.

Here is what I wrote:

Alex Henry Foster is the singer and frontman of the post rock / noise band Your Favorite Enemies from Montreal, Canada, founded in 2006 and nominated for a Juno Award for their album "Between Illness and Migration". Foster also co-founded the record label Hopeful Tragedy Records and established its headquarters and studio (Upper Room) in a former Catholic church in Drummondville, Quebec. This multi-disciplinary facility hosts multimedia and music studios, a creative atelier, as well as vinyl pressing and serigraphy equipments.

In 2018, Foster announced the release of a solo album, "Windows in the Sky", under Hopeful Tragedy Records and Sony Music / The Orchard.

Alex Henry Foster is also a poet and author. He released his first book "A Journey Beyond Ourselves" in 2017 and launched the lifestyle magazine "The Eye View" in 2018. He also contributes to the Japanese magazine BEEAST as a writer.

Foster advocates for social justice as a spokesperson for Amnesty International and founder of "Rock N Rights", a non-profit organization dedicated to human rights awareness.

Also, I'm a longtime fan of the band and when I learned that the singer was releasing a solo album, I created this Wiki.
