Speedy deletion nomination of Design World Magazine edit

 

A tag has been placed on Design World Magazine, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

It's also a copyright violation. I't OK to use the site as a source of words, but not text. Thanks. PMDrive1061 (talk) 03:15, 4 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Nothing personal; I am required to delete anything directly lifted from non-public domain sources. Since this is considered to be "free documentation," most copyrights worldwide are incompatible. The magazine sounds notable, but you'll need to write it in your own words and cite the website as a reference. PMDrive1061 (talk) 03:19, 4 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Please, please do not post any copyrighted content. The section on the publishing company is lifted word-for-word from the company's website according to a Google search. PMDrive1061 (talk) 03:23, 4 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

I need to log off and it's clear you mean well, but please write the article offline with all original text before you repost it. If you repost copyrighted material you are likely to lose your edit privileges. Thanks. PMDrive1061 (talk) 03:25, 4 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

NICE new article. Thank you so much for the contribution and thanks for your understanding regarding the copyright policies. Regards, PMDrive1061 (talk) 18:19, 4 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
