Speedy deletion nomination of Classic Sanga

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 Classic Sanga 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://classicsanga.com/kumar-sangakkaras-profile/. 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.

Deletion

I have deleted your article for two reasons. One is that we cannot accept copyright text into Wikipedia. We do not know that your friend wrote that site, and if he did, we do not know that he has given permission to you - and in any case, HE would have to give US permission to use it by licensing it under CC-BY-SA 3.0 and the GFDL. Wikipedia is licensed under these for free use by anyone anywhere, but the text on that site isn't licensed. If it was licensed, it would mean that anyone in the world could use it. The other reason is that we already have an article Kumar Sangakkara, and we don't have two articles on the one subject. If you think of any more articles to write, please write them in your own words, and do check if we already have an article. Most of the good subjects have already been taken, which is why I don't write articles - I can't think of anything that's not already here. Peridon (talk) 14:34, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
