Speedy deletion nomination of Samantha Perrin

A tag has been placed on Samantha Perrin 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 a person or group of people, 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also 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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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.

Hi, thank you for your interest in Wikipedia and for the article you posted earlier, Samantha Perrin. Unfortunately, it appeared to be substantively the same as [1]; it may not have been copyright infringement in the usual sense if you helped write the original material, but that page currently indicates all rights reserved. Instructions for verifying your rights to that content may be found at WP:OTRS, or you may release the content under a compatible license simply by stating so. Wikipedia articles are licensed by WP:CC-BY-SA, a Creative Commons license that allows for redistribution by any third party for pretty much any purpose, including commercial use, without recompense or prior consultation. Please see also Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials and Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. Please be aware, though, that any such release will apply to use and re-use by anyone and everyone, not just Wikipedia; moreover, any article here will be edited and will in time come to no longer reflect the original text.

There is a secondary concern, in that articles here need to focus on summarizing how topics have been treated in independent reliable sources, such as newspapers, trade publications, or books from respected publishing houses, and should not be unduly self-promoting. The article did not indicate notability of the subject or cite any sources other than the profile. Please see Wikipedia:Your first article for some more helpful advice on getting into the swing of encyclopedia writing. If you have any questions, would like help with anything, or would just like to stop by for a chat and a spot of tea, please do not hesitate to swing by my talkpage. Happy editing, - 2/0 (cont.) 13:54, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
