The page Pepper Chomsky has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appeared to be blatant advertising which only promotes something, and which is unlikely to be suitable for an article (or at best would need a fundamental rewrite). Wikipedia is not a medium for promotion of anything, whether a company, product, group, service, person, religious or political belief, or anything else. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item G11, as well as the guidelines on spam. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. .

This page (Pepper Chomsky, Author) should not be speedy deleted because...

Hi everyone...I am a wiki-newbie and am making some progress in understanding your culture. I know there have been several deletions of the Pepper Chomsky page. I want to clear up the problems. In 2004 Pepper worked with Lenny Bloom and Sherman Skolnick http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherman_Skolnick to co-produce the Canadian radio show named "Cloak & Dagger". As well, the book Among the Truthers - A fact from Among the Truthers appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 7 June 2011 - covers Pepper and his work on the John Lennon murder http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_John_Lennon. Pepper's book is titled "Code Code Peace" and first appeared in ebook form Dec. 31, 2011. Pepper has appeared as a radio guest in Canada and USA. These pages have been deleted:

See what you think of my revised text: ""Pepper Chomsky"" is a Canadian Cryptographer and Author of the book “CODE CODE PEACE” [1]. He has conducted interviews with pop stars and rock journalists, people who knew John Lennon and lived with him.[2] In 1996, he deciphered a code in John Lennon’s song Mind Games http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_Games that led to the theory behind John Lennon’s murder that links Lennon to the unexpected death of Alan Watts on November 16, 1973. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allan_Watts Pepper Chomsky has also discovered a video image believed to be Mark David Chapman in Beirut, Lebanon. The video has been reviewed by Lois Gibson of Houston P.D. facial recognition expert noted in the Guiness World Book of Records, and Animetrics Inc. suppliers of facial recognition software to law enforcement agencies world-wide, including the US Defense Department. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chauncey_Marvin_Holt#Forensic_expert_Lois_Gibson Jonathan Kay managing editor of the National Post and author of “Among the Truthers” has referred to him as “A Canadian conspiracy theorist who says he has spent 16 years writing a psychically-inspired book about the “mysterious” circumstances surrounding the death of John Lennon.” [3] References: [1] Published on Amazon for Kindle, December 31, 2011 by Pepper Publishing, Toronto. [2] Chomsky interviewed Ronnie Hawkins http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronnie_Hawkins and Ritchie Yorke http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ritchie_Yorke over a 2-year period [3] published on Jonathan Kay’s “Among the Truthers” page http://amongthetruthers.com/ D Senater (talk) 15:13, 29 January 2012 (UTC)D Senater

I'm replying here rather than on my userpage because it'll be easier for you to see this discussion. I deleted two versions that were clear copyright infringement; they were copies of a Facebook page. Note that Wikipedia has no simple way of telling whether somebody has the rights to release copied material to Wikipedia, and Wikipedia treats such text very conservatively (in part to ensure that in debates on subjects like SOPA and PIPA that Wikipedia has clean hands): if it's not unambiguously marked CC-bySA 3.0, Wikipedia considers it copyrighted. In addition, the copied text was clearly meant to be promotional, a frequent problem with such material. Wikipedia may not be used as a means of promotion. While they had no direct bearing on the deletions, the re were other problems: poor sourcing and unclear notability, as well as a conflict of interest. I don't see the notability issue as rising to speedy deletion, but it probably would become a formal deletion debate, so notability must be substantiated by reference to major publications: self-published material (references to Wikipedia don't count either) doesn't establish notability. While the latest version was an improvement, it's still written to promote radio appearances and podcasts, and while it appears to assert notability, I don't see much substantiation.
