Speedy deletion nomination of Terry Gorlick

Hello Terrysg,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Terry Gorlick for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Jennie Matthews 97 (talk) 01:54, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Your recent edit to Mercer Island High School appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person or organization added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Terry Gorlick

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 Terry Gorlick 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://alaskapump.com/company/news. 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.

deletion is incorrect and i expect you to replace if you Google Terry Gorlick you will find many achievements not listed state of Alaska Board of Architects engineers and Land survey, RJC State of Alaska Chairman, Innovator of Energy saving devices in Alaska as many others, Including bring a 1.5 billion dollar company to Alaska.

Wonderful. It should be quite easy then for you (or actually someone else, as autobiography is strongly discouraged) to prepare an article with plenty of citations of reliable sources that establish your notability per Wikipedia guidelines. Once that is done, the article can be linked to the "Notable alumni" section of another article. Until that time, there is nothing to establish your notability and an added entry in that list will be reverted per the Wikipedia policies already shared with you; repeated attempts to insert it may result in your account being blocked from editing.

Welcome

Hello, Terrysg, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you created was Terry Gorlick, which appears to be an article about yourself. This is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally.

The page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.
