A tag has been placed on Reza Derakhshani (painter) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://sophiacontemporary.com/artists/28-reza-derakshani/biography/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material 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 use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy 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 "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.

- Atlantic306,I agree that the content of the article is very close to the link and also the website of the artist (cited/referred to in the external links), however, I think the article should not be removed, but rather re-written. I would modify or re-write the article and quote those sentences that have been taken from the sources. Nanuvutpanther (talk) 01:07, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
- Hi, you are allowed to rewrite it without copyvio either before its speedy deleted or you can save a copy to your userspace and rewrite it before moving back to mainspace if the original one is deleted, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 01:14, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
