Speedy deletion nomination of Squash TM
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 Squash TM, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page 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 an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can 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 a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. Osarius Talk 08:35, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Squash TM is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Squash TM until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 08:35, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
Welcome 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 Squash TM. 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 willing 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) 08:43, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
Deletion
editPlease see WP:COPYVIO. Basically, text published elsewhere (especially if it has a c at the bottom) cannot be imported into Wikipedia. Same for images, although there is a little leeway under 'fair use'. Copyright can be released under Creative Commons, but this means anyone anywhere can then then use it without anything more than an acknowledgement. (Don't always do that, but they should.) I'd advise looking at WP:GNG - there may be a set or rules specially for software, but I don't know it off hand) - about general notability, and at WP:RS about the reliable independent sources needed to prove the notability. Not everything gets an article - these are the basic filters. BTW you may have written that text yourself - COPYVIO still applies no matter who wrote it. Peridon (talk) 13:33, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Sandbox
editI have moved your sandbox to fr:Utilisateur:MagP/bac à sable. I will leave a French admin to delete it as a copyvio or misuse of wikipspace. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 08:32, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
