Speedy deletion nomination of Melissa Palmer (doctor)

A tag has been placed on Melissa Palmer (doctor), 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 as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

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.

File copyright problem with File:Melissa Palmer, MD.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:Melissa Palmer, MD.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Polly (Parrot) 20:16, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of Melissa Palmer (doctor)

I have nominated Melissa Palmer (doctor), an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Melissa Palmer (doctor). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 03:01, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

To Hell In A Bucket: Please let me, why, specifically, you are recommending the deletion of the article Melissa Palmer_(doctor) Thank you. --Rags11749 (talk) 04:10, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

To Hell In a Bucket: Do you suggest that I delete the Amazon blog that is causing the copyright problem? That could be done if you feel it is necessary to resolve the problem. Thank you. --Rags11749 (talk) 04:16, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Are you the author of the Amazon blog content? If so, please see below.

The Amazon issue, I think, has been resolved. The bio on Amazon has been almost entirely eliminated. Also, I don't see the Melissa Palmer (doctor) page linking over to an Amaon page containing a blog. Please double-check the Amazon, and bio, in question, to confirm what I'm saying. Thank you. --Rags11749 (talk) 06:15, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Dear Rags11749, regarding your contribution to Melissa Palmer (doctor), we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from web sites or printed material without the express permission of the author or copyright holder.

If you choose to recreate the article, please ensure that the material is written in your own words. If you believe that using sentences from the source is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike License 3.0 (CC-BY-SA), then you should do one of the following:

Response to query on my talk page

Dr. Palmer,

There are a number of problems. First, I searched for strings of text in the page and found multiple hits, including a hit on Amazon, as you saw. The fact that you wrote the bio is irrelevant; as soon as you published it to Amazon.com, it became the legal property of Amazon.com, under US Copyright law and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998. As such it is illegal for Wikipedia to publish sentences from the same bio, as detailed in Wikipedia's policies on copyrights.

Second, you can not write an Autobiography on Wikipedia, per long-established policy. Also see WP:YOURSELF and WP:COI.

Third, your article does not establish that you meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. You list a lot of articles you published, which do not count because they are primary sources, and a number of articles you were quoted in, but you need the articles to be about you to meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines.

If you can find a way to fix these issues, we'll be in a different situation.--CastAStone/^{/₵₳$↑₳₴₮ʘ№€} 04:54, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

I don't think that Amazon owns the content. I'm pretty sure the author still does and can publish is elsewhere. I'm looking at Amazon's Conditions of Use and seeing

If you do post content or submit material, and unless we indicate otherwise, you grant Amazon a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, and fully sublicensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, and display such content throughout the world in any media. You grant Amazon and sublicensees the right to use the name that you submit in connection with such content, if they choose. You represent and warrant that you own or otherwise control all of the rights to the content that you post; that the content is accurate; that use of the content you supply does not violate this policy and will not cause injury to any person or entity; and that you will indemnify Amazon for all claims resulting from content you supply. Amazon has the right but not the obligation to monitor and edit or remove any activity or content. Amazon takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any content posted by you or any third party.

I am not the author of melissa palmer (doctor). However, since I was contacted tonight by the author about copyright issues and my permission to use my picture, i became aware of the page. Otherwise, I have no part in the writing of this, but give my permission to utilize my pictures. thanks for your help.

How can you say that? The page's history shows you're the only contributor.--CastAStone/^{/₵₳$↑₳₴₮ʘ№€} 05:25, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

The content was also found on your liverdisease website, claiming copyright and all rights reserved. Unless you provide Wikipedia with the correct license to use the content, it can't be used here, again, even if you wrote it. Honestly, were I you, I wouldn't bother going through the process of changing copyright on your own content just for Wikipedia. If your AfD passes because it turns out that you are notable, write new content in your userspace (User:Rags11749/Autobiography), and have it reviewed prior to insertion into your article. If you just add it, you'll be challenged for WP:COI - Conflict of Interest. What you write can have the same general ideas without using the same words. If your entry appears to be encyclopedic, another editor can (and will) add it to your article. In fact, feel free to ask me for a review, when it's ready. —  X  S  G  06:19, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

There is no denying th enotability.

The main problem is that the article over all has an advertisment tone to it. If youj can remove that then it should make a fine edition. Blogs aren't generally a good source unless it's her blog and she's notable. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 05:00, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

What are the specific sentences, or phrases, within the article which you consider as sounding like an advertisement? I would consider making some revisions so as to improve the article in this regard, and make it more suitable for Wikipedia. Thank you. --Rags11749 (talk) 06:06, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

References

Hey, help me out here... I'm going to fix up your article to Wikipedia standards. It'll be a lot less flowery than what was up there, but it'll be chock full of facts about you. To make this work, I need some references. Are there any news sites or magazines that have written articles about you? How does your book qualify as best-selling? Also, do you have a mention on the NYU Langone page? —  X  S  G  06:35, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
