Speedy deletion nomination of Willy Will


A tag has been placed on Willy Will requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. 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 belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — 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 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 that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Going wrong
You say you 'need' a Wikipedia page. Sorry, Wikipedia isn't like that. This is an encyclopaedia. Would you say you 'needed' an article in the Britannica? The thing is, a lot of people have thought that this is a place where you can get free webspace to put yourself (your company, your ideas, or even your hamster - I kid you not) in front of the public. Producing is not usually a starring role in life. (OK, there are notable exceptions. Few of them, though.) It's the singer who gets the fame. Not the person who wrote it, the person who produced it, the person who mastered it, or (sometimes most important) the person who managed in the end to get the radio stations to play the darn thing. What you have to do is show real significance. This has to be proved in reliable independent sources WP:RS. Not your company site, twitter, Youtube, Facebook, Wikipedia, AboutUs, MySpace, etc. You have to comply with WP:NPOV - Neutral Point of View. No enthusiasm, no dissing, no 'I am the greatest'; in fact, you have to be cooler in tone than an obit. This isn't easy if you have a Conflict Of Interest WP:COI - which is what you have when writing about you and yours (or you and the girlfriend's, or the hamster's, etc). You must at all costs avoid being promotional WP:SPAM. No 'for more info drop in at...', 'we are open all hours' or 'if you want the best in town call us NOW!!!' stuff. Even if it's better hidden than those examples - all based on deleted articles here. (Yes, really - there's been even worse.) Have a think. Have a coffee. Have a read, Have another coffee. Have another think. If the second think results in 'I'm going to show the b******s!', get the material together somewhere, get the references sorted out, and then put it on User:Willy Will 1/DRAFT and then ask someone for advice. (In fact, put a bit at the top asking for advice. This might stop someone tagging it before anyone responds.) Ask an admin or a regular editor who hasn't yet been involved. Most will be willing to give an opinion. Ask two or three, even. And take notice. A very small number are fundasmental deletionists, and want to delete everything new. Most of us want more articles, but only if they show good signs of fitting in, and not scratching the furniture too much. Over to you... Peridon (talk) 10:55, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
