  Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Syrthiss (talk) 15:36, 10 December 2009 (UTC)Reply


 

The article MARUG has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

From MARUG's talk page edit

I have made the subject page MARUG as a source where people can find information about the association MARUG in addition to the official MARUG website[1]. I am currently on the executive board of the MARUG so there are no copyright infringements.

Actually, we have no independent proof that you are such and able to release that content. Please follow the instructions I outlined on your talkpage User talk:Markajansen to release that content under wikipedia-compatible licenses. Until we have receipt of those permissions, this material is verbatim to what exists on a website with a clearly visible copyright mark. Also please note: releasing this content does not mean that the wikipedia article will forever remain a copy of what is on your website, as all wikipedia content is modifiable with properly sourced information. If this is not your intention, the article should be withdrawn. Cheers! Syrthiss (talk) 15:45, 10 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of MARUG edit

 

A tag has been placed on MARUG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a club, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guidelines for people and for organizations. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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.
