User talk:ShafiZafri

Welcome!
Hello, ShafiZafri, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Akaddas Sirajul Islam, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Speedy deletion nomination of Akaddas Sirajul Islam


A tag has been placed on Akaddas Sirajul Islam 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://archive.thedailystar.net/starinsight/2007/11/02/behind.htm. 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. 2A00:23EE:1478:6AAC:D034:66FF:FE42:A994 (talk) 09:45, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

What the problem was, and how you can address it
Hi ShafiZafri.


 * The now deleted English language Wikipedia article Akaddas Sirajul Islam was entirely "copied and pasted" from an article in the Bangladeshi newspaper The Daily Star here

I note that the Daily Star article mentions that Mr Akaddas Sirajul Islam was a journalist for The Azad, was a poet who had works published in Nao Belal and novels published by Tomoddun Library (these don't have English language Wikipedia articles - do they have corresponding Bengali language Wikipedia articles?)


 * It is open to you to re-start Akaddas Sirajul Islam, written in your own words and including what The Daily Star article (and other reliable sources) say about him.

Please feel free to let me know if I can assist you with this, or with anything else related to the English language Wikipedia.

 * I don’t understand I used references. Besides that Akkadas Sirajul was my grandfather. 84.50.217.171 (talk) 19:43, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia can't host copyrighted content, even with the source of that content as a reference. We have to write articles using our own words. Thanks. 2A00:23EE:1478:6AAC:D41C:52FF:FE2C:4707 (talk) 20:47, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
