The page [[:{{{1}}}]] has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appeared to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition has been 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.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion review.

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is used to notify users about pages that have been speedily deleted. Specifically, it is used for pages that have been deleted under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, "unambiguous copyright infringement". This template is usually used in lieu of tagging with {{db-copyvio}}; for other post-deletion speedy deletion notification templates see the table to the right.

Usage

This template should be substituted on to the user talk page of the author of the page that has been speedily deleted.

If this template is used on a page that did not previously exist (that is, if the user receiving the warning is a new user), the template automatically includes a {{first article}} welcome message. This welcome can be turned off with the |nowelcome= parameter as described below.

Basic usage

{{subst:db-copyvio-deleted|PageName}}

Where PageName is the name of the page that has been speedily deleted.

Parameters

• nowelcome:- If this parameter exists, then the {{first article}} welcome message is not included, even if the page the notice is being placed on did not previously exist.
• header:- by default, the template adds a level two section header of "Speedy deletion of PageName". To suppress the header, use |header=no.
• header-text:- a custom value for the header text.
• demo:- if you are demonstrating the template's functionality, transclude the template rather than substitute it, and use |demo=yes. This will prevent the template from being automatically substituted by a bot.
• namespace:- this is the namespace of the page that has been speedily deleted. For example, if the page is in the "Wikipedia" namespace then the value would be Wikipedia. It is not necessary to specify this parameter if the namespace is already included in the page name. If the page is in the main article namespace then this parameter should be omitted.

• url or url1:- The URL of a website that the nominated page appears to be copied from.
• url2:- The URL of a second website that the nominated page appears to be copied from. Will only be displayed if url or url1 exist.
• url3:- The URL of a third website that the nominated page appears to be copied from. Will only be displayed if url2 and url or url1 exist.

Examples

No welcome message

{{subst:db-copyvio-deleted|PageName|nowelcome=yes}}

Using a custom header

{{subst:db-copyvio-deleted|PageName|header-text=Custom header text}}
