Speedy deletion nomination of 1st South West Cheshire Scout Group
A tag has been placed on 1st South West Cheshire Scout Group 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 verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website 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 that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

1st South West Cheshire scout Group
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of 1st South West Cheshire scout Group, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.theandrews.org.uk/history.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

This message was placed automatically, and 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 and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 14:47, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on 1st south west cheshire scout group, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

'''Please stop creating pages about the 1st South West Cheshire scout Group, even under different names. Wikipedia cannot accept material copied from other places on the web, and it will be deleted.''' You may consider writing about this organisation in your own words; however:
 * 1) Please read Notability to be sure that the subject satisfies the notability criteria;
 * 2) Note that it is forbidden to write about a group that you represent.

Hi Theandrews
I noticed the recreation of 1st South West Cheshire scout Group at a short interval, both of which i tagged for removal. Judging from your talk page these are not the first two attempts, so i think it might be fitting if i clarified it personally, instead of using templates. There are three core guidelines articles have to meet: Neutral Point of View, Notability and Verifibility.

The first one, Neutral Point of View, rules that an article has to be witting from a neutral stance, as if someone is just plain describing the business. When writing an article, don't just highlight the good things of the business, and try to avoid any "Peacock" words and sentences such as "An excellent player in the ... market" and "Of Exceptional quality". Those lines are most times indications that an article is in the area of advertising, which often causes deletion. Full details can be found at WP:NPOV.

The second one, Notability, rules that to be on Wikipedia, the articles subject needs to have some kind of importance which warrants an encyclopedia article. For example an article about Google is notable because Google is the worlds biggest search engine. An article of the butcher on the corner here is an example of an article of would not be notable. For companies, notability is most times established trough citing publishings in secondary sources. Full guidelines on that can be found at WP:CORP.

And the last one, verifiability, rules that any claims made in the article must be sources with articles from external, independent third party sources. More or less speaks for itself. Full details can be found at WP:VERIFY, and WP:RS

Of course, wikipedia has a copyright policy that dictates no copyrighted material can be directly inserted into any of the articles

If you think your scouting chapter meets the above guidelines, i would suggest having a look at good quality pages such as Eagle Scout (Boy Scouts of America) (A featured article, which means it is one of the highest quality pages we have) to get an impression of how a page should look, and what should be included.

I hope this clarifies the removals, and with kind regards, Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs ) 15:00, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
