Hi, thanks for message. I deleted your article because

  • The article was a copyright violation. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.
  • it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, or they will be deleted. His own website is not acceptable as an independent source


He may well be notable, but you need independent references, and you can't use the copied text in any from unless the source website is clearly retagged as public domain or you obtain an OTRS ticket following the procedures above Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:29, 27 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
