Speedy deletion nomination of Doyé T. Agama

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 Doyé T. Agama 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://apostolicpastors.info/bishop-doye-agama. 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.

Hi,

I believe that there is no copyright infringement as the text on both pages was written by the same author. However, I have long since handed over these websites and pages to Richard Norburn who has extensively edited or changed them. I have sent him an urgent email and he will probably be in touch and also respond to the your observations on the page content.

Rhon Jones who deleted the page appears to have died shortly after. How do we now try to change/restore it? Deltango (talk) 14:14, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

First, you just clarified that you are the person the whole article is written about. That is a clear conflict of interest here on Wikipedia; additionally, you do not decide to change or restore something because someone has allegedly died after deleting the article, written by you, about yourself. - TheLionHasSeen (talk) 13:40, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
