Soccer Stars for Haiti
This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Soccer Stars for Haiti, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://diarmuidsfirstblog.wordpress.com/2010/01/20/changing-the-world-one-facebook-group-at-a-time/.

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. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) MadmanBot (talk) 15:39, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Soccer Stars for Haiti


A tag has been placed on Soccer Stars for Haiti requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here.  Dewritech (talk)  16:44, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for message. I deleted your article because  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  06:58, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
 * The article was a copyright violation. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.
 * Removing the copyright tag was pointless; the copying was detected by a bot and the tag would eventually have been replaced by the bot with a warning on your talk page. It was tagged by another editor for A7 deletion, presumably because he/she didn't check the history and missed your removal of the copyright tag.
 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines.
 * Note that self-editable sources like Facebook pages or blogs are not independent sources. It's not obvious why it's notable anyway, just another Facebook group. The Irish Independent is an acceptable source, but here it's just quoting the words of someone presumably allied to the cause (we aren't told who Vincent Hogan is), it's not a journalist piece, and there is no link to the newspaper text anyway
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: to successfully raise over €40,000 through UNICEF... reached high publicity through online channels and traditional channels including national print, radio and television. The rest of the text was just the copied promotional Hogan quote.
 * If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that your organisation is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Requested articles for the article to be created. Alternatively, you could write the article in your own words, in accordance with the guidelines above
