I have received permission from the subject of this page to produce and publish this content. Please do not push for a speedy deletion on the hard work we've put into this article unless there is an actual problem with the entire text, not just one image.

Contested deletion

This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because I have been specifically instructed by a representative of the subject of this article to create it. All information was supplied by him, and are primary sources. After the hard work we put into producing a well deserved article for an impressive figure, it is disappointing to see Wikipedians shutting down pages simply because of source issues. I would very much like to collaborate with you to remove any issues, but let's please not have it deleted. Jkmarold55 (talk) 19:25, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

@Jkmarold55: As mentioned above, the copyright holder must follow the steps at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. Until the proper release has been received, no one can post copyrighted material on Wikipedia - not even the copyright holder or a designated agent. For legal and policy reasons, unauthorized copyrighted material cannot be allowed on Wikipedia, even for a short time. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 19:42, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

@Jkmarold55: If you have been specifically instructed by a representative of the subject to create the article you are clearly a WP:COI editor. Please click on the link and make yourself familiar with Wikipedia's policy concerning conflict of interest editors. Please read WP:NOTSOAPBOX. Wikipedia is not a promotional tool for individuals.

{ping|Domdeparis}} I have not been specifically instructed to do anything. I am going to remove the box on the page that claims I have a close connection with the author. I simply contacted a representative for permission on a few things such as photo use, information accuracy, etc, but did not work directly with them in the production of the page.

I am sorry but the fact that you claim to have been "specifically instructed by a representative of the subject of this article to create it" and "All information was supplied by him" makes you a COI editor please leave the tag in place. Domdeparis (talk) 12:57, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

@Jkmarold55: There is something seriously wrong here; To justify the copyright infringement you stated that you have been "specifically instructed by a representative of the subject of this article to create it" and now you are saying "I have not been specifically instructed to do anything". One of these statements is true and the other isn't and they were both written by yourself. I would suggest that you refrain from editing this article anymore and make a full and honest WP:DISCLOSURE and tell us which statement is true and which is false. Domdeparis (talk) 13:13, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

You just don't go away do you. Juggling 3 different threads at once. I'm sorry if you misunderstood what I said. What I meant was that the representative gave me permission to use the images and verified my content. There is nothing 'seriously wrong' with asking for permission, is there? How about checking my article for accuracy? It seems that someone is so focused on minute details to notice the wider scope of things. I said it was an error. Why latch onto it, deny it being an error, and continue to wage this one man war against me? Jkmarold55 (talk) 13:59, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Would you like me to go away and leave you to edit how you see fit in total liberty? What is wrong is not the fact that you asked for permission but misleading everyone about your relations with the subject...one way or another. You do not need to enter into contact with the subject to create their page, when you do so you create a conflict of interest because there is no permission required to create a Wikipedia page and the person will obviously want the most positive image of themselves on wikipedia. Looking at your history it seems think that you do this very often and you have the perfect profil of a paid contributor who refuses to admit it. Domdeparis (talk) 15:27, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

I've indef-blocked the above editor, Jkmarold55 per the SPI case.
