Speedy deletion nomination of GLASA

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 GLASA requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or organised event, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. --Finngall ^talk 20:18, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on GLASA, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It 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 encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
• It appears to be a clear copyright infringement of http://www.gortoncenter.org/resident/glasa. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) 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. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.

• It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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. gsk 05:17, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or promotion. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.  Bbb23 (talk) 05:37, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

Request reason:

Hello Bbb23, How are you? I am requesting to be unblocked from Wikipedia after carefully reviewing Wikipedia's community customs and policy. I mistakenly created a one-sided article without other sources to verify its credibility, and I ask if I may be unblocked so that I may remedy the error and create an article based upon GLASA that objectively describes the organization in an encyclopediac manner and will not come off as an advertisement or promotion of the organization's brand. I thoroughly apologize for the inconvience. Thank you, ES2PN ES2PN (talk) 05:45, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

Accept reason:

I'm going to take you at your word and have unblocked you. Please stay away from promotional articles of any kind, and your plan to contribute to scientific articles is a good one. May I recommend that you proceed slowly and listen to other, more experienced editors if they commplain of your edits. I also recommend that you take some time to read the links in the Welcome message at the top of this talk page for guidance on Wikipedia policies, etc. Bbb23 (talk) 22:40, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

It wasn't just the promotional content of the article. It was your repeated recreation of it after it was deleted multiple times. I have a couple of questions. Are you affiliated with the organization? If you were unblocked, is there anything else that you want to work on at Wikipedia, or is creating this article your only objective?--Bbb23 (talk) 22:43, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I am an intern at Baxter Healthcare and one of our projects was to partner with a non-profit organization for a month in order to raise awareness and funds. I sought out to create an objectionable Wikipedia article based upon GLASA to provide information to a wider audience with no intention of actually promoting/advertising for the organization; however, making the organization seem significant enough to warrant a Wikipedia page while remaining unbiased proved to be an arduous task.

I've always wanted to edit and create Wikipedia articles, and I'm hoping my failed article for the non-profit organization won't be my final foray. As a chemistry major, there are a host of scientific articles on the page I'd love to provide input into if you will have me.

Thanks,

ES2PN

Well, you certainly did create an "objectionable" article (I think you meant objective ). Based on what you've said, my inclination is to unblock you, but I'd like to think about it overnight and, during the interim, see if there is any input from other administrators. Please be patient, and I'll get back to you tomorrow. BTW, please learn to WP:SIGN your posts rather than manually write your user name.--Bbb23 (talk) 05:34, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:GLASA logo.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:GLASA logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 15:45, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
