Speedy deletion nomination of Rui L. Reis

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Rui L. Reis 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://englishclass.jp/reading/topic/Rui_L._Reis. 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 Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia: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. reddogsix (talk) 16:03, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

It's not quite as simple as that. The person who tagged for deletion linked the wrong page, apologies for not picking that up sooner. The article is actually a copy of this page. 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. 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.

Other issues

• you did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, or they will be deleted. The Uminho sites are clearly not independent sources.
• there shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections. This is particularly the case when they are used to link to pages associated with him or the organisation he runs.
• I'm the chief Information officer of the research group — You have an obvious conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about this subject. Thank you for declaring your interest. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that the professor 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 Wikipedia:Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Wikipedia:Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.

Basically, for legal reasons, we cannot accept or restore material which appears to be copyright and is not explicitly licensed with a Wikipedia-compatible or public domain licence Jimfbleak - talk to me? 13:00, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

So, what would be the best way to create an article about this scientist? I've already made an ArticleRequest.

Biography

You may find that an article request is not a speedy process. First you need to satisfy yourself that he meets the prof test. If he does, you will need to use a variety of sources, including genuinely independent references not associated with him or his organisation, especially if you are stating opinions or controversial facts. You must write in your own words; a close paraphrase is still a copyright infringement. Pamela C. Rasmussen is an example of a scientist's bio, although you don't need that level of detail and you don't have to use the reference templates, just <ref>[url description]</ref> will do for web pages.

I suggest that you do a draft here. Let me know if you want me to have a look or if you need help. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 16:04, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
