[edit] Speedy deletion of Church of the Saviour, Washington, DC

A tag has been placed on Church of the Saviour, Washington, DC 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 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

[edit] Church of the Saviour

I deleted the article Church of the Saviour, Washington, DC because it contained advertising (speedy deletion criterion G11), and because it didn't make clear how and why the subject was notable enough to be included in Wikipedia (speedy deletion criterion A7). Your edits show that you have a clear conflict of interest with regards to the subject. If you disagree with the deletion of the article, you are free to request a deletion review. If you need help with this, you can leave a message on my user talk page and I'll help you out. AecisBrievenbus 22:40, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
