Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (March 28)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by KylieTastic were:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:LeeMurphyEKU/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to User:LeeMurphyEKU/sandbox, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Help me![edit]

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I submitted an article regarding a state LEGEND. What all do I need to do to fix or correct it? He has a highway named for him, many buildings on campus (EKU) and was solely responsible for the fastest growth that the university ever saw adding dozens of buildings and degree work to the university. He also served as our State Senator for many years.

I think the fact that most of that draft is a copyright violation needs to be addressed first, see notice below - Rich^T|C|E-Mail 20:13, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have addressed it., I WROTE IT ! LeeMurphyEKU (talk) 20:22, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. I'm sorry you had such a bad start and some frustrating interactions. Unfortunately we can't just take your word for it that the content you submitted here is your own work, and the website at https://digitalcollections.eku.edu/exhibits/show/discovereku/ekuhistory/normal/robert-r--martin does not state that the content has been released under a Wikipedia-compatible license. We do have a way around that, which is explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. As that page isn't written in a fully encyclopedic style, it may be better to write a new article from scratch and to cite that page as a source, though. Additional sources you could use and cite are the Kentucky encyclopedia or the History of EKU. If you are employed by EKU, you should declare any Wikipedia:Conflict of interest, though, but I don't see anything much wrong with writing about the history of the place if you don't start advertising it. Hope that helps a bit, and happy editing! —Kusma (talk) 19:58, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of User:LeeMurphyEKU/sandbox[edit]

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 User:LeeMurphyEKU/sandbox requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://digitalcollections.eku.edu/exhibits/show/discovereku/ekuhistory/normal/robert-r--martin. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material 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 use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy 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 "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 deleted 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. - Rich^T|C|E-Mail 20:11, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of User:LeeMurphyEKU/sandbox[edit]

A tag has been placed on User:LeeMurphyEKU/sandbox, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It is an "attack page" or an unsourced biography of a living person that is entirely negative in tone. (See section G10 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)
Do not create pages that attack, threaten, or disparage their subject or any other entity, or articles about living people that are entirely negative and unsourced. Attack pages, attack files and negative unreferenced BLPs are not tolerated by Wikipedia, and users who create or add such material may be blocked from editing
It appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free Web hosting service. (See section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)

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 "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 deleted 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. - Rich^T|C|E-Mail 18:35, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
