Proposed deletion of German Gold
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article German Gold, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Self-sourced and blatantly promotional. I won't tag it for CSD, but it cannot remain in anything near its current state.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Draft:Herman Gold
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Draft:Herman Gold, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.the-athenaeum.org/people/detail.php?ID=7850.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 16:00, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

Copyright on Wikipedia
Hello, Romangold.

I've left a message for you on Commons explaining how to verify copyright license for the images you uploaded there.

The work of verifying license for the text you've uploaded here may be a bit more complex, I'm afraid. While it is all hosted on http://herman-gold.com, it is listed there as being authored by two different individuals: Fazil Iskander and Valentina Ruben. Under the United States copyright laws that govern us, these people are the most likely copyright owners, and we would need verified license from them. This may not be easy to present, unless they have web presences themselves so that we can verify their identity. However, please see Donating copyrighted materials for the approach here.

More broadly, I would strongly recommend that you focus instead on creating content more in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Wikipedia exists to serve as a neutral compendium of what reliable sources say about notable subjects. We cannot rely on what the the person or close affiliates say; our policies identify "reliable" to mean that most content must be sourced to published, third-party coverage of subjects. With or without permission, content like this is a problem under our neutrality policy: "He quickly developed into a romantic artist, mastering his sharply individualistic figural style of evocative painting, mainly on large canvases distinguished by intense color. Gold's favorite medium is oil painting, but he also is a master of watercolor."

As you can no doubt see above, another reviewer has declined the submission already on the grounds that it doesn't demonstrate notability. The specific page to look at here is WP:BIO and especially the section on creative professionals. If there is independent verification (even from the museums' websites) that his work is represented within the permanent collections of some of these notable museums, that should be enough to address that concern.

If you have questions, you are welcome to come by my talk page (you can reach it by pressing "talk" after my username) or to visit the Teahouse, a friendly environment for newcomers. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:19, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
