Speedy deletion nomination of Material overindulgence
editIf 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 Material overindulgence requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. 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 belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — 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 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 that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". 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.

Removing Speedy at Material overindulgence
editWelcome to Wikipedia, thank you for taking the time to create a page here. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you created yourself. Because Wikipedia policy does not allow the creator of the page to remove deletion tags, an automated program has replaced the deletion tag you removed from Material overindulgence. Please do not continue to remove the deletion tag, instead, if you disagree with the deletion, you can follow these steps:
- Go to the page by clicking this link. Once there, select the button that says Click here to contest this speedy deletion.
- This will take you to the talk page, where you can make your case by explaining why the page does not meet Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion.
Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do. For further help about the deletion, you could contact the user who first placed the tag or a highly active user who is willingly to help with deletion. This message was left by a bot, so please do not contact the bot about the deletion. Thank you, - SDPatrolBot (talk) 22:26, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Material overindulgence, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". 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. Gaijin42 (talk) 23:33, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
- Cbliege, the article was indeed deleted as a copyvio (not G4; the above nomination was incorrect), and it is about to be deleted again. There is no evidence to suggest that you have clearance, and from which authors? You cite a bunch of them, though you cite them incorrectly: material from this book is attributed to this source--but it cites the unattributed book verbatim ("when we refer to a child as spoiled"). That cannot be. I am going to salt the article to prevent recreation without more oversight: an article can be written with permission, so to speak, which you might could gain through Wikipedia:Articles for creation, or through a friendly admin (not me: this is not my field or interest). Please do not commit any more copyright violations. If you do not understand how you fell foul of those guidelines, study them; more violations might result in a warning and/or a block--we cannot have copyvios in our project. Good luck, Drmies (talk) 17:25, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
- I see now that according to the talk page you sent a request to OTRS, which I don't have access to--but that still doesn't jive with the attribution in the article. If the copyright clearance is for the book source (rather than for the article), it can be restored, but it will need proper attribution. I saw that Gaijin responded on the talk page and mentioned "public release" etc; I do not believe this to be accurate, and their comments on notability didn't make much sense to me: lack of notability is NOT the reason your article got deleted. What I suggest you do, if you want to give it another shot, is to try it in a sandbox (WP:SANDBOX), making sure it meets our guidelines and conventions, with the proper citations etc, and with a clear understanding of what constitutes plagiarism (for instance, quotation marks need to be used properly). Then, ask an expert, such as User:Moonriddengirl, to see if it's OK; she knows copyright and is an administrator. Good luck, again, Drmies (talk) 17:34, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
