[edit] Speedy deletion of Texas Business & Education Coalition

A tag has been placed on Texas Business & Education Coalition, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

This article reads like a press release from the subject, not an article about it, and is likely copied from another source, possibly a copyright violation.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the 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. Realkyhick 05:51, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Please do not post copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Texas Business & Education Coalition. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites (http://www.tbec.org/honorroll.php in this case) or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:

• If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
• If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Texas Business & Education Coalition with a link to where we can find that note;
• If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on the article Talk page. Alternatively, you may create a note on your web page releasing the work under the GFDL and then leave a note at Talk:Texas Business & Education Coalition with a link to the details.

It is also important that the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and that it follows Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at Talk:Texas Business & Education Coalition/Temp. Leave a note at Talk:Texas Business & Education Coalition saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved. Your original contributions are welcome. Butseriouslyfolks 05:59, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
