Speedy deletion of Orion Services
A tag has been placed on Orion Services 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 include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." 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 (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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Dear SatyrTN, I posted an article about Orion Services on wikipedia last night and I stated that since I am the author of the article, I don't violate copyright rules. Still, my article was removed and I would like to know why that happened and what I have to do to post it and not have it deleted again. Have a nice weekend, ShockzZ alias shock (admin from deepirc)


 * Hi, ShockzZ!
 * There are three issues at work here that you should know about.
 * First, Copyright: Wikipedia is *VERY* strict about copyright issues. As a general rule, you should write things in your own words, not copy/paste them from another source.  In this case, you would need to have your original (on your own site) clearly marked as GDFL or in the public domain.  I would be very careful about doing that, though, because *anyone* can then take your text (and maybe images/logos/etc?) and copy them to their own site and you have no recourse.
 * The second issue is that you have a Conflict Of Interest - you are the person/service you are trying to create the article for. This is severely frowned upon by Wikipedia - read through WP:COI when you get a chance. If your service is truly notable (see third point below), then let someone else create the article.  That way there are no allegations of advertising, conflict of interest, etc.
 * The third issue, and perhaps the most important reason your article was deleted, is Notability. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia.  As such, we (generally) don't write articles about every person, service, band, film, etc in the world - just the ones that are most notable.  It's a somewhat subjective thing, but we do have guidelines and policies in place that describe the encyclopedia's take on it.  Read through WP:N when you get a chance.
 * I hope that helps. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any further questions. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 17:15, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
