This is NOT a direct copy from a sonicbids site - though they house the same factual information. Koshari is exactly what is written. Those words are NOT copyright protected.

Westernb, you are invited on a Wikipedia Adventure!

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Westernb


A tag has been placed on User:Westernb 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://www.sonicbids.com/band/koshari/. 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. • Gene93k (talk) 17:02, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi Westernb. I didn't even know the other meaning existed. It's easily avoided by posting as Kashari (band). I deleted your article because This is an encyclopaedia. We cannot accept copyright material or provide a free advertising service. We also require independent references as described above  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  18:36, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
 * The article was a copyright violation of this. 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. The copied page is marked Sonicbids Corporation © 2014, so not free to use. 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. But in any case the copyrighted text is far too promotional to be useful for Wikipedia's purposes, so there would not be any point in your jumping through all the hoops that are required.
 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines.
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: ethereal voice... signature guitar playing... blends the spacey, effects-drenched swirl ... the aggression and heaviness... creative voice at once familiar yet without close analog... “packed with atmosphere, beauty [and] substance.&mdash; much more in similar self-serving press-release vein.
 * You have an obvious conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about this subject. 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. See also Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.
 * Incidentally the Koshari history shows that it wasn't me that kept changing it back to its original status as a redirect to Kushari. If you decide to recreate and want it to be at your preferred title than the one I've suggested, you will need to discuss with the editors who reverted your usurpation of the name  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  05:29, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
