Speedy deletion nomination of Leon murphy

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 Leon murphy, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It appears to be a clear copyright infringement of http://www.independent.ie/regionals/goreyguardian/news/sad-farewell-to-leon-12-29804373.html. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) 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 belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — 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 but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.
It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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.

Leon Murphy

Hey Richard, I'm sorry we had to delete your article about Leon. Unfortunately, for a number of reasons which are already addressed on this page, Wikipedia cannot accept the article. However, I wanted you to know that I am willing to email you a copy of the page if you want to use it somewhere else. There are a number of memorial sites on the web which would probably be suitable for such an article. Regards, Sarah 23:55, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Memorials

Richard, I'm sorry for your loss and understand that this is a sensitive issue for you, however, Wikipedia's rules do not accept memorial pages and therefore such pages are deleted. Also, I see that the page has already been deleted three times and continually adding the page after it has been deleted could result in your account being blocked. I hope your relative will rest in peace. Valenciano (talk) 12:14, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
