[edit]Could you please let me know why this page was deleted?

- The page was removed under criteria G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion policy, which deals with blatant copyright violations. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images.
- In this case the page you created was a word-for-word copy of http://soundcloud.com/silkydj, with no indication that this content was freely licensed under compatible copyright (Actually, the page clearly states that the content on the site is copyrighted). Besides this there are more issues, such as the text being inherently promotional, which is a side effect of copying content from a subjects own website.

- Hi,
- I just changed the wording, can you tell me why that was now deleted?

- The Silky page is a disambiguation page that redirects users to other article's. Your edits to that page overwrote a page that already had legitimate content and therefor it was undone. New content should be placed upon a separate page. Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 20:46, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
Ahh, I did not realise I could not use quotes from other websites. They are now gone. I'm assuming the image is ok?

[edit]There were some problems with your recent edit to Silky. Firstly, you removed the existing content to replace it with a totally different article of your own. It is not acceptable to simply over-right existing material in this way. Secondly, the article you wrote contained no sources or indications of notability. All Wikipedia articles need to contain citations to sources. This is particularly important in the case of an article about a living person, as this was. JamesBWatson (talk) 20:49, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
