Speedy deletion nomination of Sterling Office Moving

edit
 

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 Sterling Office Moving requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Karl 334 TALK to ME 14:28, 13 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hello. Concerning your contribution, Sterling Office Moving, please note that Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images obtained from other web sites or printed material, without the permission of the author(s). This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.sterlingofficemoving.com/about/history/. As a copyright violation, Sterling Office Moving appears to qualify for deletion under the speedy deletion criteria. Sterling Office Moving has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message.

If you believe that the article or image is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License (CC-BY-SA) then you should do one of the following:

However, for textual content, you may simply consider rewriting the content in your own words. While contributions are appreciated, Wikipedia must require all contributors to understand and comply with its copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright concerns very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 16:39, 13 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

In response to this message left at my talk page:
I have recieved permission from the author of the sterling website that you have looked over to use this information in the Sterling Office Moving Wikipedia article. If need be you may contact them at [redacted]
First, if Sterling wants to donate their web content, they'll need to change the license terms on their website or notify the volunteer response team directly via email that they wish to irrevocably license their content for free derivative work, including commercial re-use. That's a major chunk of rights being given away; that's why we require the communication directly from the source.
Second, even if Sterling makes the text free, the article is still subject to deletion for failing to assert that it's a notable company. The lack of coverage of the company in secondary sources is an indicator of the lack of notability, as is the failure to assert any of the specific criteria for notable companies.
Finally, if you've been in contact with Sterling, it raises the question of whether you have a conflict of interest with the company. This does not prohibit you from editing on articles related to Sterling; however, it requires you to be very cautious and to make sure your assertions can be backed up by independent sources whenever possible. —C.Fred (talk) 16:55, 13 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
