I want help with my Orchestra Company article! I need to link it to the Jeunesses Musicales International wiki entry. And I need to make sure it doesn't get deleted - but I don't have enough time to go through the whole adoption process!

Thanks!

Adoption isn't required on Wikipedia, it's optional. The problem with your article is that it is a copyright violation. Please read the links below to learn how to write an article. Cheers! Prince of Canada ^{t | c} 12:05, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Copyright violation in Orchestra Company South Africa

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Orchestra Company South Africa, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Orchestra Company South Africa is unquestionably copyright infringement, and no assertion of permission has been made.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Orchestra Company South Africa, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Adoption

I'd happily adopt you although I'm really only interested in folk who are wishing to stick around. Two of my current adoptees are the definition of inactive much to the displeasure of me since I've put a lot of work into helping them —— RyanLupin • (talk) 07:53, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Ok, no problem. Feel free to read through my adoption page and if you're still seeking adoption, get back to me and I'll piece together your subpage, regards —— RyanLupin • (talk) 15:27, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Deletion

I can't really restore the orchestra article since it was deleted as a copyright violation of the orchestra's website. Unless you can show that the website has licensed its content under the GFDL or public domain, it cannot be used, and must be written from scratch.

There are other issues: the article is basically promotional, not an encyclopaedia article, and although the orchestra may meet the notability guidelines, it lacks independent evidence to show that it does so and to support the spammy claims.

Since you appear to be involved with this organisation, you should consider whether you are the best person to write this article. 15:56, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
