For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material.

I have struck the above warning. My apologies, on re-checking the web page page in question, it was licensed under a Text of Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License. However, the primary reason for the speedy deletion of the article is that it was a sufficiently identical and unimproved recreation of a page deleted per a deletion discussion, i.e. Articles for deletion/Matthew Wood (conductor). – Voceditenore (talk) 09:08, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
 * NOTE:

Some advice
Matthew Wood (conductor) has now been deleted three times in the last six months. Each attempt at re-creation without addressing the issues raised at the its deletion discussion makes it increasingly likely that it will continue to be speedily deleted and the topic may be "salted". That is, further articles using that (or a similar title) cannot be created without the intervention of an administrator.

I would suggest waiting until his career has become sufficiently established to clearly pass the notability guidelines before attempting to create it again. In the case of a conductor, this would need substantial coverage of the subject, i.e. articles about the subject himself, not simply concert listings, and these must be published in reliable sources which are completely independent of the subject, not their own official biography (or versions of it printed in concert programmes, alumni bulletins, press-releases, etc.).

Alternative routes for establishing notability for classical conductors would be one of the following, suitably referenced to reliable sources:
 * multiple reviews in reliable sources of performances with several notable symphony orchestras and ensembles
 * being appointed a Principal Conductor or Music Director of a notable orchestra or ensemble
 * conductor on two or more recordings with a major record label or a notable independent label (one with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of whom are notable)
 * winning first or second prize in a major music competition (these must be the top prizes, not simply "finalists")

When you want to work on an improved article to resubmit, I strongly suggest you create it as a draft in your user space. You'll find more about this at Help:Userspace draft. Then you should ask an experienced editor to review your draft, make suggestions and give you an opinion of the likelihood of its meeting the notability criteria. If it seems likely, then go to WP:Deletion Review and ask for your draft page to be reviewed with an end to moving it into article space.

While the subject has released the text of his official biography for use on Wikipedia, don't use it for the article. Start over from scratch. Like many official biographies, the language is promotional and vague and is quite unsuitable for an encyclopedia article. There should not be even a hint in the draft of attempts to promote the subject or exaggerate accomplishments.

I'll leave you some links to essential guidelines below. If you have any personal or professional connection whatsoever with Matthew Wood. you especially need to read the first two.
 * Conflict of interest
 * Autobiography
 * Notability
 * Verifiability
 * Manual of Style (biographies)
 * Manual of Style (words to watch)
