Speedy deletion nomination of Florida Christian University

A tag has been placed on Florida Christian University requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may 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. WuhWuzDat 19:01, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Florida Christian University

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Florida Christian University, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.fcuradio.com/index.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 21:28, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Florida Christian University

A tag has been placed on Florida Christian University requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article 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.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — 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 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 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.

Status and Advice

As reviewing administrator, I deleted the article because it was a copy of the university home page. Do not copy from a web site -- first it's a copyright violation, but, even if you give us permission according to WP:DCM, the tone will not be encyclopedic and the material will not be suitable, as this was not. . For further information see our FAQ about businesses, organizations, and articles like this. As a guide to what needs to be written, consider the following:

Our basic rule as an encyclopedia is WP:Verifiability. Normally, we regard universities as notable, but I could see no information on the web site that clearly showed its status, or even demonstrating its real existence except directions to its headquarters. We have not always considered non-accredited colleges notable, unless the status can be shown by references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases. It is not accredited by any recognized agency; it claims to be except from regulation in the state of Florida, presumably as a religious institution. It is not clear to me under just which section it falls, since it does not meet the requirements of paragraph (f), as the degrees do not have the necessary religious specification. [1] . Presumably it meets the exemption under paragraph e, as meeting the former requirements of section 236.085 (1)b [2]. (However, tIam not a lawyer). It is stated to be a member of the Florida Council of Private Colleges, which includes a number of faith-based institutions It is not clear whether it is an exclusively online institution; it claims "with learning centers in more than 50 countries" [3] but I see no documentation of this.

Please keep this all in mind when you rewrite the article. If I , or anyone else here, is not satisfied with it meeting our requirements, it will be nominated for deletion by a regular deletion process. DGG ( talk ) 11:57, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
