Speedy deletion nomination of Cove Energy plc

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Cove Energy plc requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.discover-exploration.com/about/cove_energy_plc. 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. --Richard Yin (talk) 15:36, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright, notability, conflict of interest

Assertion by someone on the end of a wire of permission to use material is not enough; we have to be certain that the person giving a release has the authority to do so, and that the actual copyright holder understands and agrees to Wikipedia's CC-BY-SA license terms, which allow any reader to copy, modify and re-use material for any purpose including commercial. For those reasons, a formal copyright release, as described in WP:Donating copyrighted materials, is required.

It is seldom worth making a copyright release, because material written for a company website is likely to be unsuitable for an encyclopedia article, which requires a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not for promotion of any kind, and is not a notice-board for pinning up copies of a company's own publicity material. See User:JohnCD/Not a noticeboard for background.

Since you have claimed authorisation for use of this text, you are presumably associated with the company. In that case you have, from Wikipedia's point of view a Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and should read carefully that page and the Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. Note in particular that when editing Wikipedia on any subject where you have a COI you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use (and in some jurisdictions by laws against covert advertising) to declare your interest. You are also very strongly advised not to edit such subjects directly, but you may submit a draft using the WP:Articles for creation process for uninvolved users to consider, or make suggestions on an article talk page.

Article subjects need to have notability, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing references to "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." There is more detail at WP:Notability (organizations and companies), and good advice on how to write an acceptable article at WP:Your first article. JohnCD (talk) 16:12, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Discover Exploration Limited requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

Disambiguation link notification for December 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Cove Energy plc, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Billion and Mozambican. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
