Speedy deletion nomination of Kannada Devanga Chettiar


A tag has been placed on Kannada Devanga Chettiar 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://kannadadevangarchettiar.blogspot.co.uk/. 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. JohnCD (talk) 10:24, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Advice
Welcome to Wikipedia. You wrote on the talk page "I wanted to create a group/wiki for our community which is Kannada Devanga Chettiar." If you mean that you want to create a discussion forum or community website for your community, I'm afraid that is not what Wikipedia is for, but there are sites like Myspace where you could make a page, or Wikia where you could set up your own Wiki.

If you want to write an encyclopedia article about your community, that is certainly possible, but you should read WP:My first article before you start. Important points to understand are:
 * You must not copy material into Wikipedia - see Copy-paste. The article you posted was copied from http://kannadadevangarchettiar.blogspot.co.uk/. Even if you wrote that yourself, it is not enough just to say so, because we cannot be sure that someone on the end of a wire is who he says or has the authority to make a copyright release. You have to follow the procedure explained at WP:Donating copyrighted materials.
 * That is not usually worth doing, because material written for other purposes is not often suitable for an encyclopedia article. Wikipedia is not a place to post copies of essays or of promotional material or your community website.
 * Three important Wikipedia policies are:
 * WP:Verifiability: "any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source."
 * WP:No original research, not things that you know from your own experience, only summaries of material already published.
 * WP:Neutral point of view - Wikipedia is not for promoting anything. No opinions, only plain facts, neutrally stated and cited to reliable sources.

Read WP:Your first article before you start, and consider using the WP:Article wizard to help guide you through the process. The links in the Welcome message at the top of this page will tell you more about Wikipedia. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 10:45, 9 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Sorry, i just noticed that the site (http://kannadadevangarchettiar.blogspot.co.uk/) which you are referring is also ours. If you want we can edit that site with your given instruction.. please let us know how to proceed :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Venky2701 (talk • contribs) 10:57, 9 June 2013‎
 * Please read again the advice above, particularly WP:Your first article. Wikipedia is not a place for a general discussion forum for your community. The article you posted contained some religious stories, a list of surnames, discussion of marriage customs, and something about festivals. An encyclopedia article need to be about one subject, containing facts not opinions, with references to significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources to verify the facts and to show that the subject is notable, that is, that other people have written about it independently. You may be able to get advice at WikiProject India. JohnCD (talk) 11:06, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
