Notability of David W Hutton
The article David W Hutton has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about a real person, individual animal, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. JohnCD (talk) 16:58, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of David W Hutton
A tag has been placed on David W Hutton 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 clear 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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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.

Your deleted article
Your article was deleted because it was a copyright violation: Wikipedia cannot accept material copied from other sources, even if somewhat modified - see Copy-paste - unless a proper copyright release has been made. Assertion of permission to use is not enough. If you yourself own the copyright, see WP:Donating copyrighted materials, if someone else does, WP:Requesting copyright permission. In any case, material from personal or company websites often has a promotional tone unsuitable for an encyclopedia article, which requires a neutral point of view, so it may well be better to rewrite in your own words.

Also, it gave no indication that the subject was notable enough for an encyclopedia article: it said only that he was a contract attorney and had been cleared of a harassment charge. There must be thousands of people who fit that description.

For either of those reasons, your article qualified for speedy deletion. You may think that drastic, but we get more than one new article a minute and (fairly tightly defined) speedy deletion criteria are necessary to screen out the most unsuitable. Apart from preparing an article off-line there are two ways you can give yourself some time - either put at the top (two curly brackets each side) which will give you a few days, or prepare a draft in your user space at User:Trustfreedom/David W. Hutton. Neither of those methods will save a copyright violation from speedy deletion: for legal reasons we cannot host copyright text even temporarily.

Be sure that your subject meets our notability requirement. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a listing directory like LinkedIn, and is selective about its subjects. Notability is not a matter of opinion but needs to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. More detail in WP:Notability (people), and good general advice on how to write an acceptable article at WP:Your first article.

Finally, if you are Mr Hutton, or are employed by him, you should read our guidelines on WP:Conflict of interest and why WP:Autobiography is strongly discouraged.
