 * One reason for deletion is that the page was a copyright violation from http://hairways.ie/about. You must not copy material into Wikipedia unless a formal copyright release has been made. Asserting permission is not good enough. Please read Copy-paste.


 * It's not often worth making a copyright release, because material written for other purposes is usually too promotional in tone for an encyclopedia article, which requires a Neutral point of view.


 * Also, article subjects require Notability, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." So just copying the subject's website is not going to be enough, anyway.


 * Read WP:Your first article, and the other links above, for advice. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 21:30, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
