[edit] Speedy deletion of Eric Egland

A tag has been placed on Eric Egland 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 blatant 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 include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." 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 (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 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 06:11, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Eric Egland

Hi Jammers81, and welcome aboard! Unfortunately, there were several issues with the article you created, which led to its speedy deletion. First, and most importantly, it appeared to be a copyright infringement; remember, we can't copy text or images from elsewhere on the internet and include it in Wikipedia. Second, the article read like an advertisement for a political candidate, which violates out policy of neutrality. If you have a conflict of interest, it is strongly recommended that you recuse yourself from editing an article. Third, the subject didn't seem to meet our notability guideline. Thanks for contributing to the encyclopedia, and if you have any questions, feel free to contact me on my talk page. Cheers, faithless (^speak) 10:34, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
