Speedy deletion nomination of Tyrone Grandison

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 Tyrone Grandison 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.tyronegrandison.org/bio.html. 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.

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. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 05:35, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Quincykbrown. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 20:05, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

• Quincykbrown, I cannot let this content stand. It is WAY too promotional: as the copyright bot indicated, too much material is copied--from a resume, which is why these articles looked like resumes. In my opinion it wasn't enough to warrant deletion as a copyvio, since much of the copied material was titles, phrases, etc., but that actually proves my point: these were resumes. On top of that, you seem to be an editor with a conflict of interest. And on top of that, the articles lacked reliable secondary sourcing, which given our policies on articles on living people is unacceptable. So I don't have a choice but to delete this and to tell you that hey, if these people are notable, we want their articles--but these articles will have to meet the minimum requirements: a disclosed COI, neutral and encyclopedic language, and reliable secondary sourcing. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 02:19, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
