However, for text content, you may want to consider rewriting the content in your own words. Thank you, and please feel free to continue contributing to Wikipedia.

In fact, the language that you placed in her bio article is worthless here, since its point of view is the assumption that her philosophical beliefs are accurate and useful, while WP articles must take a neutral point of view. That text would make good source material for a "stub" bio on her, but would need drastic rewording, by someone who understands its jargon but is willing and able to state her ideas in a way that recognizes the value of considering the fact that she holds them as something separable from whether they involve any value or truth; for that purpose, we have no need of a copy of such a text as part of WP: any of the many URLs for pages that already contain it would suffice as information for an editor who would take the article in an acceptable direction. Thanks.

The same copyright-violation issues are the reason for the deletions of Brent Cameron, Steven Harrison, and Barbara Meyer, and the rest of your initiations of bios remain to be reviewed.
