Speedy deletion of "Dimitar mitovski"

[edit]

Dimitar mitovski, a page you created, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a real person\, group of people\, band\, club\, company\, organization\, or web content\, but does not indicate why its subject is important or significant.

You are welcome to contribute content that complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thank you. David.moreno72 (talk) 10:41, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

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 Dimitar mitovski 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 https://vimeo.com/mitovski. 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 or other printed material 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 "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.

[edit]

I have deleted your submission. Wikipedia cannot hold copyright material, not even in sandboxes or AfC submission pages, not even temporarily. Please read Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources - assertion of permission to use text is not enough.

Even if the copyright issue were resolved, material copied from elsewhere is likely to be written in a promotional tone unsuitable for an encyclopedia article, which requires a neutral point of view. This Vimeo text was presumably written by the subject or his agent, but Wikipedia is not a place for people to post copies of their own promotional literature, and Wikipedia:Autobiography is strongly discouraged.

Article subjects need to have notability, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", see also WP:CREATIVE. There is good advice on how to write an acceptable article at WP:Your first article.

Conflict of interest - advice

[edit]

The important point is that Wikipedia is not a place for self-promotion, or any kind of promotion. As Mitovski's agent, you have a Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and should read that page and the Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. In brief, you should not write directly about your client, or edit any article about him, but may submit a draft, using Wikipedia:Articles for creation, for review by an uninvolved user. Note that you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use ("Paid contributions without disclosure" under section 4), and in some jurisdictions by laws against covert advertising, to disclose your interest in any edits where you have a COI.

You compared your article to Steven Spielberg, but that has more than 200 references, nearly all to sources independent of Spielberg, and is based on what has been written about him by other people. Yours had no references, was written by the subject himself or his agent, and was written in PR-speak like: "legendary... innovative vision... the most popular and beloved music video in the country... brave visual style and innovative approach... " That's fine for someone writing himself up for Vimeo, but not for an encyclopedia article which requires a neutral point of view and should be based not on what he or his PR people say but on what other people, independently, have said about him. Forget the glowing adjectives (read WP:PEACOCK), just give facts about what he has achieved, neutrally stated and cited to reliable sources.

Read WP:Your first article for advice. If you want to use previously-published material, a copyright release as described at WP:Donating copyrighted materials is necessary, but something like the Bulgarian article bg:Димитър Митовски is much more likely to be accepted, and I suggest you use that as a model.
