Speedy deletion nomination of Functionalism In After School Programs

A tag has been placed on Functionalism In After School Programs, 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 encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

Status and Advice

As reviewing administrator, I had to delete the article. Not because it is promotional in the usual sense, but because it shows internal signs of being copied directly from one or more sources, using phrases like "in our study we showed...".

Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously; and does not accept material copied from other sources unless it is in the public domain, or released to us under a free license (It is, by the way, not necessary for pages to have a notice to be copyright: everything published on the internet or elsewhere is copyright to the owner of that content unless specified otherwise.)

It might be possible to get permission, but there is no point in doing so--a formal publication of this sort almost always is unsuitable for WP, because it is usually written either as a press release, or in excessive detail, often using special terminology without explanation.

Please never copy this way from an outside source again, and be absolutely certain to avoid Close paraphrase.Rewrite everuything from scratch, changing not just the words, but the arrangement into sentences and the sequence of ideas.

It is also not clear to me what the article is about., and the meaning of "functionalism" as you use it--I'm not a specialist in education policy. , but it seems to fit none of the meanings used in any of the WP articles listed under functionalism. In ordinary language, I would say that your topic is effectives of after-school programs. Please try to explain when you rewrite, in order to make your meaning more evident to the general reader.

The article seems to be based entirely on a single study at "University of Chicago, Chapin Hall Center for Children, 2007. " We usually do not do that, but write our articles in a broader way, to deal with a subject, including all perspectives. The article should present the information,and report the conclusions and the criticism. It should not itself be written to draw conclusions. See as guides for this WP:NPOV , WP:Original research and WP:SYNTHESIS. I look forward to your contributions. DGG ( talk ) 04:19, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
