Proposed deletion of Doug Fetters edit

 

The article Doug Fetters has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No reliable source coverage of this person or his works, does not meet WP:BIO or WP:GNG

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Speedy deletion nomination of Doug Fetters 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 Doug Fetters requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.imdb.com/name/nm7226773/bio. 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. 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 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 or image 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. 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. reddogsix (talk) 01:08, 3 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Doug Fetters, and it appears to include material copied directly from https://www.linkedin.com/in/dfetters.

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. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

May 2015 edit

  Please stop removing speedy deletion notices from pages that you have created yourself, as you did with Doug Fetters. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. reddogsix (talk) 03:06, 3 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

  • Even if you cite something, you cannot and I repeat CANNOT post copyrighted text on Wikipedia. The only way to post the material is if the copyright holder were to file a ticket through WP:ORTS that would give Wikipedia permission. Even then the material would have to be re-written in order to fit Wikipedia's WP:NPOV policy. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 05:22, 3 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • I'm also having trouble finding where Fetters has been covered in independent and reliable sources per WP:RS. Has his work ever been covered in places like newspapers or review outlets like Publishers Weekly or Tor.com? Just existing as a writer isn't enough to show notability- you have to show notability via coverage. The article asserts that he's won awards but does not state which ones- you may want to look into that since those may be able to give notability if you can source them. However be careful, as not all awards are considered to be notable as far as Wikipedia is concerned. In any case, please do not repost the copyrighted material. If you continue to do this then you run the risk of getting blocked from editing. I'll post more information about this in a moment. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 05:25, 3 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
