Speedy deletion nomination of Betty Jane Watson
edit
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 Betty Jane Watson 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. 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 that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. mabdul 07:51, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
This can be fixed
editHi Ciacchella, and welcome to Wikipedia. I've only taken a quick look at the article about Betty Jane Watson, but it seems likely there should be an article about her. The current article will be deleted, becasue it is too close to material subject to copyright. This has to be done, even if you wrote the material at IMDB. However, if you would like to try again, let me know at my talk page, and I'll tell you how this can be fixed.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 12:08, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
Hello. I see that you stated that Watson has died. What is your source for this information? I have removed the information until we can report a reputable published source, like a newspaper obituary. Thanks! -- Ssilvers (talk) 05:58, 23 February 2016 (UTC) Not sure how to do things on Wikipedia but I am trying to respond to your comment. Betty Jane Watson is my grandmother so I am the source of her death date, February 21, 2016. There will be something in the local newspaper soon about her passing. She passed away in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.84.240.191 (talk) 03:43, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
