Speedy deletion nomination of David Marks (politician)


A tag has been placed on David Marks (politician) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.baltimorecountymd.gov/countycouncil/districts/district5/district5bio.html and http://councilmandavidmarks.com/accomplishments/. 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. 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 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 or image 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to 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 removed 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. • Gene93k (talk) 02:23, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you create an inappropriate page again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

The page was not only a copyright violation, but even with permission it would not have been suitable for Wikipedia, but would have been deleted for being an advertisement. Wikipedia is not a suitable place for political advertisement. It is possible that the individual is notable, and an article could be written based on published third party published reliable sources. But if you have any connection with the person, you must be very careful in writing it, and should use the WP:Articles for creation process so the contribution can be reviewed before going into the encyclopedia.
