Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Super Phone Access Numbers

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was speedy delete for being one of a series of submissions that were straight copyrighted advertisements, clearly intended not to be released under the GFDL by the copyright owner. Consider this to be Extreme Copyright Judo, if you like.

In detail: Supertec (talk · contribs) submitted a number of articles on products and services of Super Technologies Incorporated, which were direct copies of the company's own advertising blurb on its web site. From the account name, it is reasonable to presume that this user is, or represents, the copyright owner of the advertising blurb. In three of these articles (Superphone, SuperPBX, and IP-PABX) xe explicitly added the text "All rights reserved. All content is copyright © Super Technologies Inc." to the article as a separate edit. In other words, it is clear that this copyright notice was deliberately included. The author clearly did not want this content to be licensed under the GFDL. Two further articles that xe submitted, Virtualphoneline.com and this one, do not contain such copyright notices. But given that they are part of the same overall package of interrelated advertising blurb, with all of the articles involved submitted here one after the other over a short span of time, and that they are also copies of the company's advertising blurb, it is fair to presume that the author's copyright licensing intention, which is wholly incompatible with Wikipedia, applies to these, also.
