Speedy deletion nomination of Cedar Campus

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 Cedar Campus, 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 seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 19:22, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Following advice

You were advised that, as an intern at Cedar Campus, you have a conflict of interest regarding the subject, and should not be the person to write the article. Your messages to GB fan (talk · contribs) indicate that you are being asked by your employer (Cedar Campus) to create a Wikipedia page for them that is to their liking. That isn't how Wikipedia works. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, written in neutral terms about subjects that are notable enough to have received significant independent coverage in reliable sources. (This latter requirement is to assure the availability of sources from which to verify the content of the article.) You have written an article that does not indicate the notability of the organization, and is written very much as an advertisement for the organization, which is why it will likely be deleted. If Cedar Campus absolutely feels the need for a Wikipedia page, then you might make a posting at Wikipedia:Requested Articles, and see if an uninvolved editor takes up the cause.

Cedar Campus

I have deleted Cedar Campus again. THis time because I found that you have copied http://cedar.intervarsity.org/history into the article you created. You can not copy and paste information from other websites into articles. That is a copyright violation and Wikipedia is very strict about that. If you do it again you may be blocked. GB fan 19:29, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Final warning, if you copy and paste from other websites again, I will block you. I have now deleted Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Cedar Campus because I found the exact wording on the page here and here. GB fan 21:55, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
