Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Builder Levy


A tag has been placed on Draft:Builder Levy requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from builderlevy.com/bio.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material 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 use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy 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 "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.

September 2017
There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 22:56, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

Still think I'm not making my intentions clear, I'll try again

 * Wiesel, I think the issue here is your statement that you were "asked by the noted photographer, Builder Levy, to help him gain a Wikipedia entry". That presents you with a conflict of interest, which makes you basically ineligible to write about Builder Levy.  At Wikipedia, it is highly discouraged for us to write about people with whom we have a buisness relationship, and especially where such a relationship is specifically to create a Wikipedia article for them.  You should also read Paid-contribution disclosure which has some more information.  If you can assure admins that you no longer wish to use Wikipedia to spread information about your client (i.e. to promote them), then I think we can see that you will be unblocked. -- Jayron 32 20:06, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Moved from unblock request below Hi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jayron32, I certainly don't mind revoking my request to contribute Builder Levy's page, since as per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:COI I was requested as a friend to add Builder's page. My understanding from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Paid-contribution_disclosure led me to believe that as long as I wasn't paid for my entry and that I put a disclosure of my relationship that it would not be a problem, but I stand corrected.
