Speedy deletion nomination of The Center for Global Health and Diplomacy

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 The Center for Global Health and Diplomacy 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.ghdnews.com/index.php/about-ghd/about-us. 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. —Largo Plazo (talk) 16:08, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.  —SMALLJIM  16:13, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, as doing so is not in accordance with our policies. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Wikipedia:Your first article; you might also consider using the Article Wizard.

Please stop your disruptive editing. Your edits have been reverted or removed.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively may result in your being blocked from editing.  —SMALLJIM  16:59, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Help

As a follow up to the reply I posted to your question on my talk page, the most important pages for you to read are: our policy on conflict of interest, our policy on coyright violation, and the guidance on writing Your first article. You might find our Plain and simple guide useful too.  —SMALLJIM  17:10, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

In response to your note on the article's Talk page

In case you don't see response to you on the article's Talk page before it's deleted:

Hello. It isn't just a matter of citations here. You can't just wholesale copy pages from other websites like that—even with permission, you also have to be authorized to donate whatever you write here under one of the free-licensing arrangements provided by Wikipedia, so that others are free to copy it from here. See WP:DCM. Also, be aware that if you do make arrangements to donate the material and post it here, other users are perfectly free to alter it, so that needs to be OK with the original copyright holder as well. —Largo Plazo (talk) 17:01, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Also, the content you posted takes the form of a communication from the organization. This is not permitted. Wikipedia articles are impersonal reference articles, written from a neutral point of view, and may not be used for the purpose of promotion or other forms of outreach. —Largo Plazo (talk) 17:05, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

See WP:COI for information about Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines, should they be applicable. —Largo Plazo (talk) 17:07, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Emilyw12, I have recently left the following comment on this afd: :Comment Did a google search and there are plenty of pages mentioning the Center, their forums, and publications but none go into any depth, being mostly press releases from other orgs and the Center (as stated by editors above), so don't meet WP:GNG. However, googling the subject of Global Health Diplomacy does bring up some pages that could be notable. Suggest Delete for this article with a copy going back to the article's creator sandbox and a suggestion that they work on creating an article on GHD (and of course submitting it through AFC. I will copy my ramblings to the creator's talkpage Coolabahapple (talk) 15:23, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

Have a look at WP:GNG and WP:RELIABLE and Wikipedia:Your first article to get info on writing articles. Also, the Teahouse is a great place to find help, you can even ask for a mentor. Also, submitting your article through Wikipedia:Articles for creation might be a good idea. Hope this helps. Coolabahapple (talk) 15:47, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
