Speedy deletion nomination of Toronto Alliance for the Performing Arts
edit
A tag has been placed on Toronto Alliance for the Performing Arts requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. 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.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — 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 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 that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ttonyb (talk) 20:56, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Thank you.
A tag has been placed on Toronto Alliance for the Performing Arts requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. DES (talk) 00:50, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
Copied from Talk:Toronto Alliance for the Performing Arts The Toronto Alliance for the Performing Arts page should not be deleted from Wikipedia due to "copyright infringement". The text under "history" has been edited, and there does not exist copyright infringement in the TAPA Stats Report Phase One and Two. They are documents for public reference found on the TAPA website.Tapa theatre (talk) 21:29, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
- It is not currently being tagged for deletion as a copyright infringement, but because at present it fails to explain why this organization is significant or important. Please read our notability guideline and our specific guideline on notability of corporations and organizations. While at this stage full demonstration of notability is not required, soem indiations in thsat direction are.
- Also, your user name "Tapa theatre" rather suggests tha tyou are affiliated with the Toronto Alliance for the Performing Arts, or even that this account is a group account. Please read our guideline on conflict of interest.
- Note further that documents from a website are presumed to be under copyright unless there is a statement on them specifically releasing them under a free license compatible with Wikipedia's license, or placing them in the public domain, or email to that effect is sent to the Wikimedia foundation. See WP:COPYRIGHT and Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. (Either option permits anyone to reproduce the text for any purpose, including for commercial use, and to edit it and reproduce revised versions.) Unless this is done Wikipedia normally cannot accept substantial text copied from a website. DES (talk) 00:49, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
