Speedy deletion nomination of Chartered College of Teaching


A tag has been placed on Chartered College of Teaching 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://www.chartered.college/about. 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 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 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 "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.

Based on your contributions, it seems possible that you may have a WP:Conflict of Interest with the Chartered College of Teachers. Please see our WP:COI rules about that, and our Terms of Use, particularly with respect to paid contributions without disclosure. Note in particular that you must indication the connection on the talk page of the articles.

In addition, the material seems to be copied from the organizations web pages. This is not permitted. If you own the material, it is possible for you to give a release for it under the provisions of WP:DCN -- be aware that this irrevocably gives everyone in the world a permanent license to use and modify the material for any purpose, even commercial. If you do not have authority to do so, you cannot give the license. But in any case I do not recommend giving a license, but rewriting the material. The contents of a web page or press release is never suitable for WP. Such pages are always promotional , while WP does not include material advocating or promoting the improtance of anyone or any organization, but uses purely factual material without adjectives of praise.

As an administrator here, I must remove all material that appears to be copyvio. The article on the organization will be soon removed, and the one on the person once I verify the source.  DGG ( talk ) 05:12, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
