Speedy deletion nomination of Gabriel Gale

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 Gabriel Gale, 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, group, product, service, person, or point of view 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.

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 "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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. 331dot (talk) 16:15, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Sorry, but this article was written in a blatant marketing puffery style, which is not appropriate for an encylopedia entry. I suggest you have a read of a few existing biographical articles (choose a few authors and see how their articles are written) before you try writing any more articles.

I see what you're saying and will change it appropriately.Agesofoz (talk) 17:08, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

OK, that's good, but also please be sure the person satisfies Wikipedia's notability standards (which you can find at WP:N). But you will need to sort out your username first. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 17:11, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of A Fiery Friendship

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 A Fiery Friendship requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.amazon.com/Fiery-Friendship-Ages-Oz/dp/1481469711. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material 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 use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy 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 "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. - TheMagnificentist 16:25, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

• Hi. I note your comment that you have permission to use that text for Wikipedia, but unfortunately that is not sufficient. Wikipedia text is onwards licensed for use by anyone for any purpose (with attribution) and so Simon & Schuster would have to release the text with a license at least as free as CC BY-SA - see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for details on how to do that. But even if licensed correctly, the promotional blurb for a book is entirely unsuited for use as an encyclopedia entry, which needs to be written in a simple, neutral, descriptive manner.

• I see above that you say you have made a rename request, but I don't see it. If you tell me here what new name you want, I can do it for you. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 17:12, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Thanks. I'd like to change it to ReneMak.Agesofoz (talk) 17:16, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

That's done, your account is now renamed and unblocked, welcome back. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 17:20, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Thanks. This will be revisited with more encyclopedic content asapReneMak (talk) 17:30, 23 June 2017 (UTC).

Don't forget to check out WP:COI if you have a connection with the subjects you are writing about. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 17:36, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
