Speedy deletion of Sandee

A tag has been placed on Sandee 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 person or group of people, 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 guideline for biographies.

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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. tgies (talk) 12:26, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Sandee

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Sandee, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.mcgillismusic.com/sandee.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 12:43, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Sandee

A tag has been placed on Sandee requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant 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.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — 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 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.

Sandee

Sorry to hear about Sandee. However, Wikipedia is not a memorial site. A memorial page for Sandee is better suited to a social networking site like MySpace or Bebo. In order to maintain a certain consistent level of quality, Wikipedia has standards for what sort of information is suitable for inclusion and what topics are worthy of an article. Please refer in particular to the policies on notability of musical artists and verifiability of information. Please understand that this shouldn't be taken as an insult or an impugnment of the departed's legacy, such as it is; it's just the way we do business around here. Lastly, you can't cite a discography as a list of "hits". Not every single ever released is a "hit", or I'd have my own Wikipedia article as well. tgies (talk) 13:02, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Her single "Notice Me" was a top 10 hit on Billboard in 1989 it was huge. Google her name Sandee and "Notice Me" and see. Go into any club in the USA and her hit Notice Me is played to this day 20 years later. It is a classic hit. Not to mention she sand on the Grammy nominated hit "Point of No Return" as a original member of Expose.

You are not doing research on this lady.--Newartist (talk) 13:06, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Yes, we could possiblyu keep this article or if it gets deleted, recreate it with references, fixed up and no longer looking a memorial. That's Wikipedia, it is not a memorial site. Even if she is notable, the horrible quality of the article should be made better. If it can no longer be improved, goodbye. Good luck on saving it ;) Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 13:10, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Can I get an hour to fix it as you noted?--Newartist (talk) 13:12, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

I am looking at Billboard charts from 1989 and I am not seeing any song called "Notice Me" anywhere in any top 10.

Anyway, the burden of proof is on you. If you're going to say that "Notice Me" was in the top 10 of a Billboard chart, you need to cite specific sources which back that up.

This is all rather moot, however, considering that the article violates someone's copyright in its current state. tgies (talk) 13:14, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Sir the copyright that you refer to is my original work, someone copied my written words and plastered it on other sites including the blog you refer to. I did the original writing.

But I will create with sources a new original piece for the article. All I ask is for about an hour to make the article and link to the sources of info including the Billboard charts etc. It may have been 1990 but I do know she made the top 10 billboard dance charts it was a huge hit world wide.

Thanks--Newartist (talk) 13:20, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

You're going to have to prove that the text is your original work, though, or substantially change it ASAP so it is no longer identical to the text on that blog. Unfortunately, nobody else has any way of knowing that that's really your writing, as it stands. Sorry, but that's generally the way it is.

You should have some time to attempt to rewrite the article, but the major sticking point right now is that it looks for all the world like a copyright violation.

I'll add the {{inuse}} template to the article for you to signify that it is "under construction", which should buy you some time, but an administrator will be making the actual decision, not me.

If it does get deleted again, you can always take some time to rewrite it and resubmit it later. tgies (talk) 13:28, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Thank you so much--Newartist (talk) 13:35, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

December 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Sandee has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): rule: '\bmyspace\.com' (link(s): http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=37939843) . If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).

If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks!

Proving authorship of copyrighted material

Hey, here's what you need to do to prove that you're the original author of the text copied from that blog:

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — 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.

Hope this helps. tgies (talk) 13:37, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

It will probably be better and easier, though, in the long run, to just rewrite the article so it's not a copy of the text on that blog. As it is, it's not really written in the tone or format of an encyclopedia article, know what I mean? tgies (talk) 13:39, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Thank you so much. I agree with you and what I did was rewrite it. I made it short and sweet and to the point. I hope you like. I think making it short and to the point allows others to edit it and add information as time goes by and fans locate it through google seraches etc. Can you add a stub to let people know to add info? I am finished on the Sandee article for the day. If you have not ever heard her hit single go here and check it out. [1]

Again thanks for the help... RIP Sandee.--Newartist (talk) 13:49, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Please do not remove content from pages without explanation, as you did with this edit to Sandee. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing. Chrisch^Talk 13:55, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Sorry I was done editing and the speedy deleting was done I also did explain this in the edit summary.
