Speedy deletion nomination of Replacements LTD
editYou may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.
Thank you.
A tag has been placed on Replacements LTD, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.
If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}}
on the top of Replacements LTD and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Mûĸĸâĸûĸâĸû (blah?) 21:21, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
Replacements, LTD
editI've deleted the article as advertising. I believe the subject is notable, but it needs to be extensively rewritten into an appropriately neutral, encyclopedic tone. I've moved it to User:Greenpharey/sandbox so you can work on it a little more. Please review the advice at WP:YFA, and please don't link every occurrence of the title to an external link - it's not appropriate and really distracting.

editThe http://knol.google.com/k/dinnerware-s-indiana-jones# is a page owned by Replacements, Ltd. The content from the http://knol.google.com/k/dinnerware-s-indiana-jones# site is taken from the Replacemets, Ltd. website. 17:58, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
- And that's the point: you can't copy information from someone else's website. If you are saying that you are a representative of Replacements or are authorized by Replacements to use their material it still doesn't make any difference if you are the copyright holder or if its use here is totally legal, Wikipedia policy prohibits its use here unless you follow one of the processes here. Please note, however, that doing so allows anyone in the world to use your online material, not just Wikipedia. There is no other way (at least none that Wikipedia will accept) to give permission in a way that only Wikipedia, but no one else, can use your material. The better and easier course may be to rewrite the material for the article, but be aware in that regard that mere paraphrasing, change of first to third person, changes in verb tense, and similar revisions of the material will be regarded to be close paraphrasing and will not cure the copyright problem; it really has to be entirely rewritten from the ground up.

- Please listen to the sound advice given above - you have recreated the promotional article again by simply rephrasing the content at http://knol.google.com/k/dinnerware-s-indiana-jones#. Read WP:COPYRIGHT and WP:PARAPHRASE prior to working on the article any further. If you can create an article that is unpromotional in nature and that demostrates notability in your own words then it will likely be kept. If you continue to use other people's words to create the article you may be blocked from editing. --Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 21:36, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
