Speedy deletion nomination of Nina Assimakopoulos

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Nina Assimakopoulos, 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 an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Firstly, you can't - note that the sign says "do not remove this notice from pages that you have created yourself". Secondly, read the template much? The problem is the language used makes it seem like an advert, not that the person is non-notable. Ironholds (talk) 02:27, 14 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
We have things called timestamps. Among other things, these help me know that you didn't address my central concern until after I sent the above message, so your tone is unwarranted. The article contains sentences such as "Internationally acclaimed flutist Nina Assimakopoulos is a visionary artist" - how is it not obvious that it reads as an advert? As it happens it's a copyright violation of http://www.ninaassimakopoulos.info/pages/main/bio.html, so I'll be tagging it for deletion as that. Ironholds (talk) 02:56, 14 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
Mmk, thanks. As it happens, I have verbal and EMAIL permission to use all information in ninaassimakopoulos.info/pages/main/bio.html. I'm her TA. How do I confirm this with the Wikigods?--arosebyanyother (talk) 03:07, 14 September 2009 (UTC)--arosebyanyother (talk) 03:22, 14 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
Hi A_Rose. I'm sorry to see you've been having a difficult time here. I'll try to explain why that is, and how to address the problem, in another post here, later today if I can find the time. In the meantime, though, you'll need to do a little homework to understand and resolve your copyright question. I'm a relatively new editor myself, and know little about copyright issues, but the answers you need will almost certainly be found in one or more of the following:
Other relevant links:
You can also ask specific questions about the photo you want to use at the media copyright help desk , but given that everyone you interact with on Wikipedia is volunteering his or her time, you'll likely meet with a much better response if you've made a good-faith effort to familiarize yourself with the issue you're inquiring about first. Ditto asking any more general questions you might have at the help desk or via the new contributor's help page. Posting a question at any of these resources will usually get you one or more replies pretty quickly, usually within 30 minutes, depending on the time of day.
I'm also going to make some suggestions on the talk/discussion page for the article that may help "rescue" it, ie help it conform to Wikipedia's standards and policies and thus help keep it from being deleted.
Finally, allow me to suggest that any remaining questions or comments you might have about the article itself ( as opposed to help desk questions, per se, or matters that apply to all Wikipedia articles, for example ) should probably be posted to the talk/discussion page for the article in order to keep everything in one place as much as possible.
