Speedy deletion nomination of Francois fressinier


A tag has been placed on Francois fressinier, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It 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 encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be a clear copyright infringement of http://www.tuttartpitturasculturapoesiamusica.com/2011/07/francois-fressinier-france.html. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) 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 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. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.

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.

Copyright, promotion, notability
I have deleted this page because we cannot accept text copied from elsewhere - see Copying text from other sources. Even if the copyright issue were resolved, it is written in an unacceptably promotional tone, full of "peacock terms" {"unique, enchanting... exquisite... picturesque enchantment... " etc.) Wikipedia requires a WP:Neutral point of view - an article should not seem to be trying to sell something. No opinions, only plain facts cited to reliable sources.

You wrote on the talk page: "there is very little about him out online. I found that the only legitimate information out there about him is the bio by the Martin Lawrence Gallery". I'm afraid that means that he is unlikely to be a suitable subject for Wikipedia, which has an inclusion criterion called Notability which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Youtube, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones (like the gallery selling an artist's work) and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people not connected with the subject thought him important or significant enough to write substantial comment about? See also WP:ARTIST and Notability (summary).

There is good advice about how to write acceptable articles at WP:Your first article. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 18:53, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
