[edit] Notability of David Nacht

A tag has been placed on David Nacht, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Kelapstick 16:50, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles that you have created yourself, as you did with David Nacht. If you do not believe the article should be deleted, then please place {{hangon}} on the page (please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag) and make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you.--Kelapstick 17:00, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Please do not post copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to David Nacht. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites (http://www.nacht4congress.com/bio in this case) or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:

  • If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
  • If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:David Nacht with a link to where we can find that note;
  • If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on the article Talk page. Alternatively, you may create a note on your web page releasing the work under the GFDL and then leave a note at Talk:David Nacht with a link to the details.

Otherwise, you are encouraged to rewrite this article in your own words to avoid any copyright infringement. After you do so, you should place a {{hangon}} tag on the article page and leave a note at Talk:David Nacht saying you have done so. An administrator will review the new content before taking action.

It is also important that all Wikipedia articles have an encyclopedic tone and follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you want to edit constructively, take a look at the welcome page. Thank you. --Finngall talk 17:01, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

In reply to your message on the now-deleted article talk page:
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not an advertising medium or a provider of free web space. All articles should be written from a neutral point of view, and all information therein should be verifiable from independent reliable sources. Please also read Wikipedia's guidelines on conflict of interest and advertising.
The welcome message I have added above provides many useful links to Wikipedia's policies, procedures, and guidelines. Please feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have further questions. Thanks, and take care. --Finngall talk 17:13, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
