A tag has been placed on The Beach Music Association International, 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 and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

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 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. →Στc. 23:10, 5 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, as you did at International Beach Music Hall of Fame, you may be blocked from editing. If you need guidance on how to create appropriate pages, try using the Article Wizard. Copyright infringement is absolutely unacceptable; your account will be blocked if you persist. —C.Fred (talk) 23:23, 5 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Why did you delete my new page for BMAI? Im an advisor with obvious permission, part of the organization and you took liberty to just delete without any warning. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Msealy (talkcontribs) 23:34, 5 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
It is not clear that you are an advisor or part of the organization, and nowhere on the BMAI website was it made clear that they are giving away this material. —C.Fred (talk) 23:38, 5 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
Further, the BMAI website says "©2010 Beach Music Association International"; no mention is made of the text being under Creative Commons, GFDL, or similar free license. —C.Fred (talk) 23:44, 5 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
Any office personnel can contact Wikipedia—the email address is on the message left on your talk page–to make clear that BMAI is donating the material. However, it may still be deleted as blatant promotion.
Please also use Wikipedia's dispute resolution processes. Bringing your attorneys into the picture could be perceived as a legal threat. Legal threats are not allowed and could result in your account being blocked summarily. —C.Fred (talk) 00:13, 6 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
