Speedy deletion nomination of The Vienna International Justice Institute

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 The Vienna International Justice Institute 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. 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 that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

There is a process to donate copyrighted material to Wikipedia, but in this case, it is probably not worth the effort. In addition to being a blatant copyright violation, the material is overly promotional (as is expected when one copies text from an organization's website, since the organization created the website to promote itself in the first place!) and the organization, having been founded less than 4 months ago, has probably not yet achieved the notability required for inclusion at Wikipedia.

Hi ! 1.Our Organisation is a non profit one : means we do not have any financial interest in promoting ourselves. 2.Taking into account the quality of the members and trustees of our organisation ( Thomas Stelzer having a WIKI page - for exemple ), I do find from interest for the world having some information on the Institute. Please Let me know the best way to be published ( Do you need a declaration coming from our Executive Director ( Francis Maertens the initiator of the Institute, comes from Belgium, and was Director of the Division for Operations, and Deputy Executive Director of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC)) or somebody else ?

Thank you very much for your support and help in my/our first steps on WIKI

1. Non-profits very much do have a motive to promote themselves. Donations don't come from thin air -- they come from people who believe in your mission, and they only know about your mission if you have promoted it.
2. As for the best way to publish this, given your very obvious conflict of interest regarding the issue, I would recommend that you request a page be written at WP:Requested pages, and allow a neutral third party to decide whether your organization is notable enough to write about.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. It also appears that your account is intended to be used for the purpose of telling the world about an organization or cause that you consider worthwhile. Unfortunately, many good causes are not sufficiently notable for their own Wikipedia article, and all users are discouraged from editing in any area where they have an inherent conflict of interest, though you may wish to consider one of these alternative outlets.

If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice. If you prefer to be unblocked for the purpose of changing your username to a username which complies with our username policy, so that your contributions with this username are recorded as contributions of your new username and rather than creating a new account, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice instead. Thank you.

Wikipedia cannot hold copyright material, not even temporarily. Assertion of permission to use text is not enough; we have to be certain that the person giving a release has the authority to do so, and that the actual copyright holder understands and agrees to Wikipedia's license terms, which allow any reader to copy, modify and re-use material for any purpose including commercial. For those reasons, a formal copyright release, as described at WP:DCM, is required.

It is very seldom worth making a copyright release, because the promotional tone of a company or personal website is likely to be quite unsuitable for an encyclopedia article, which requires a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not a notice-board for pinning up promotional material.

Article subjects need to have notability, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." There is more detail at WP:42, WP:Notability (organizations and companies) and the WP:FAQ/Organizations. The test is, have people unconnected with the subject thought it important and significant enough to write substantial comment about it? Many worthy organizations, particularly new ones, cannot meet that test; that is not at all to their discredit, but it means they are not suitable subjects for an encyclopedia.

The rules on notability and promotion apply also to non-commercial organizations: Wikipedia is not here to tell the world about your noble cause.

People are strongly discouraged from editing about themselves, or their own organizations, or any subject on which they have a Wikipedia:Conflict of interest, because experience shows that they find it hard to maintain the neutral point of view which is one of Wikipedia's fundamental principles. For advice, see WP:Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.
