Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Love in Communism
edit
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 Draft:Love in Communism 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 https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/205885547-love-in-communism. 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 deleted 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.

Warning

Hello, I'm Altenmann. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Soviet people have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. - Altenmann >talk 20:49, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
- P.S. All your spam was reverted. Please don't do this again. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. - Altenmann >talk 20:53, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hello Mr./Ms. Altenmann,
- It was not a spam.
- The book "Love in Communism. A Young Woman's Adult Story" was added to the pages, the topics of which are described in the book.
- For example: you have almost no books on the topics: Nakhimov Naval School (Saint Petersburg), Nahkimov Naval School, DOSAAF, Female masturbation, Child sexual abuse in the Soviet Union, and so on.
- There is a full chapter in this book dedicated to the the Korean Air Lines Flight 007, therefore it was added to this page.
- Can you please reconsider and restore the adding's, which I made yesterday? It is not an advertisement, but people have the right to know the information, which is deeply hidden and finally was exposed in the book.
- If you need more information about it, I am open to discuss and clarify.
- Kind regards,

- Well, adding a self-published novel looks pretty much like an advertisement of the novel. Works by an author of unknown expertise in history and politics cannot be a valid reference in Wikipedia, please see our policy WP:Reliable sources. - Altenmann >talk 18:18, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- Nowadays authors prefer self-publish instead of having a middle man, like publisher or agent. There are many examples of well-written and researched works by self-published authors and bad book, with poor editing and historical mistakes published by big houses. So - the argument about self-published author - is not accepted.
- Regarding the remark "an author of unknown expertise in history and politics" - again you are not right. The author - Angelika Regossi was a news reporter for BBC radio and other big international outlets; also for VRT (Belgium TV) and for Spiegel (German TV), where she worked as a producer for more than two decades. Sure, she knows a lot about history, politics and how to research.
- In addition - articles on Wikipedia need to be supported by the literature, including novels, which gives the readers the broader perspective about the topics. Many of the books, which I saw under the articles on Wikipedia are self-published by unknown writers. So, I don't understand why well-written and research novel "Love in Communism. A Young Woman's Adult Story" can not be added to the Wikipedia's articles, which have connection to this novel.
- Please reconsider, because the arguments you gave - can not be taken serious.
- Waiting for your reply.
- Kind regards,

- Sorry, I strongly advise you to take seriously arguments coming from experienced Wikipedia editors. It took a long time to formulate the guidelines of Wikipedia taking into the consideration many issues I am not going to detail here. It is not that I somehow have a prejudice against you. Your arguments show that you are not familiar with Wikipedia rules and guidelines. I am repeating, "an author of unknown expertise in history and politics": her known expertise is reporting. Regarding self-publishing, please see our policy WP:SELFPUBLISH. Regarding " well-written and research novel" - it is your personal opinion, which does not count in Wikipedia articles. If you are interested in improving Wikipedia, you are welcome to add or correct the encyclopedic content, following our basic rules about information added to articles, starting with the guideline Wikipedia:Reliable sources I have already mentioned. - Altenmann >talk 03:10, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
