Speedy deletion nomination of Sheila A. Robinson edit

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Sheila A. Robinson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.execwomeningov.org/events-and-activities/193. 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

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

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. reddogsix (talk) 23:44, 3 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Contested deletion edit

This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because it has been thoroughly rewritten to avoid any appearance or actual copyright infringement, while still maintaining its informational integrity --RGluesen22 (talk) 04:09, 4 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

  • According to this there are still some phrases that a bit close to the original. I don't think this is a clear candidate for speedy deletion under copyvio, but there is still a little bit of work to be done to clean it up. SilkTork ✔Tea time 10:44, 4 March 2014 (UTC)Reply


Thanks for the feedback. I've made some more edits, but there are a few items that were flagged (for example: "7th on 6th fashions shows" and "minority person of the year") that are the actual names of the events and/or awards. Trying to rewrite them would be like trying to rewrite "the NAACP Image Awards" or "the Academy Awards". Let me know how you think it best to proceed. Thanks. -- Rich


Status and Advice edit

As reviewing administrator, I deleted it, but primarily for the promotionalism. The article seems clearly designed to enhance her career, not to provide neutral encyclopedic information about it. The overall tone is enthusiastic, not neutral: "to help people who were experiencing obstacles and challenges similar to those she faced throughout her career" is pure advertising. Many of the career details are unverifiable except as she gives them. Promotional writing is writing to present what the subject wants to say about themselves; encyclopedic writing is what the general reader might want to know. I am also concerned about notability. One of the top 50 minority women in a particular sector of a particular industry is not necessarily much of an indicator of importance. The other awards are local. I would advise waiting until her first book is published and has obtained substantial reviews from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or reader comments. You might also want to consider writing an article about her magazine, if there are sufficient food references.
