Speedy deletion nomination of St. James' Settlement

A tag has been placed on St. James' Settlement requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 that has been nominated for deletion (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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

St. James' Settlement

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of St. James' Settlement, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.sjs.org.hk/en/intro/index.php. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites 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. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page.

St. James' Settlement guidelines

Aside from its significance, which wasn't really shown, the article had a copyright issue — it was copied from a page that wasn't released under a free content license. By the way, you say "we" — are multiple people using this account? Or is only one person using this account, and by "we" you mean yourself and other people with other accounts? Nyttend (talk) 19:20, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks for the explanation; it's good that you're the only person using this account, because Wikipedia policy prohibits more than one person using a single account. As far as the copyright issue — yes, you absolutely must rewrite it. There's nothing wrong with having the same information as the source page (in fact, this policy page requires us to say nothing more than what's stated in our sources), but it musn't have the same words, and you should be careful to avoid a close paraphrase. Finally, please note that there may be other problems with having the article: you need to show that St. James' Settlement is notable (read Wikipedia's definition of "notability"), and you must be careful to maintain a neutral point of view. This may be especially difficult for you as someone affiliated with the organisation — you have a conflict of interest. If you're able to do both, you're welcome to contribute, and the article will be welcome; nevertheless, please be aware that people may say that your article isn't up to Wikipedia standards. If they believe that it's really not notable, the article is likely to be nominated for deletion, so please be careful to demonstrate that St. James' is covered in depth by multiple reliable sources. Finally, please feel free to leave notes on my talk page if you have any more questions. Nyttend (talk) 00:52, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, don't think that we pick on new users or that it's only their pages that are ever deleted; I've made a few hundred edits to pages that have been deleted. Nyttend (talk) 01:03, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
