Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because... (your reason here) --Siva175 (talk) 01:09, 22 January 2015 (UTC) I've not used any of the results or methods used or the applications tried in the said copyright infringement but only the History part of the subject which were referred by many other authors in different journals, workshops and in PhD Thesis. This was quoted in the report itself. If you think this will still infringe on the copyright, then kindly allow me to delete the content taken from the said report. Thank you.[reply]

I found this article useful and gives more insight on Foam Concrete. Kindly do not delete this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.164.173.2 (talk) 07:04, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Administrator, I strongly contest the deletion of this article. My aim of creating this article is to make aware of the Foam Concrete to the general public as an alternative building material widely used in many countries. I've given only the neutral content of explaining this building material and the references I've taken are from study material by the Institutes and the Neutral body organisation such as British Cement Association. The so called copying alleged by an user contributor is only the definition part of it as the definition can't be changed or re worded to look like as my own words. Also, the history part of this material is also from some other study submitted to various institutes in the world as I can't create history of my own and need to depend on these study. I feel fully justified of this article and if there were any mistakes or the criterias not met but can be corrected, kindly let me know so that I can correct the same. Also, I strongly believe that Wikipedia is for supporting new articles which are helpful for the people to aware and I too strongly believe that if there is any objectionable words or phrase or paragraphs or part of the article, I'm committed to remove the same and you have all the rights to remove by yourself. I believe in future, the experts in this field also can contribute to improve this article and for which it needs more time. Hope you understand my concerns and take justified action regarding the same. Thanking you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Siva175 (talk • contribs) 12:16, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've found blatant copy and paste work in most sections of the article per the URLs given in the deletion template. At least three different sources have been infringed. Bellerophon _{talk to me} 12:18, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I fully agree that this article should exist, just not in its current form. As we discussed in my talk page, the article needs to be fully rewritten. Deunanknute (talk) 14:52, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because... (your reason here) --Siva175 (talk) 13:41, 22 January 2015 (UTC)I've changed and improved the article based on the complaints raised. Kindly see if it is ok now.[reply]

The manufacturing, properies and recent trends and development section still contain substantial violations. You need to rewrite these also. Bellerophon _{talk to me} 16:14, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright problem[edit]

As User:Bellerophon notes, this article still contains copy-pasted content and in fact contains new copy-pasted content. For a few examples:

Specifications for Foamed Concrete	The application of foamed concrete for construction works was not recognised until the late 1970s when it began to be used in the Netherlands for filling voids and for ground engineering applications.... An extensive research programme carried out in Holland helped promote foam concrete as a building material, see Van Deijk (1991)	After the evolution of new admixtures and development of concrete mix designs in the late 1970s and early 80s, the application of foam concrete was focussed on construction works, when it began to be used in the Netherlands for filling of voids and for ground stabilisation applications. An extensive research programme carried out in Netherlands helped promote foam concrete as a building material.

Foam concrete is one among the types of concrete produced by initially making a slurry of Cement + Fly ash or Sand + Water, which is further mixed with the addition of pre-formed stable foam in an unique concrete mixing plant under ambient conditions

This article is filled with sentences and phrases copied from other sources. Unfortunately, we cannot construct articles on Wikipedia this way. With the exception of limited and clearly marked quotations, used transformatively in accordance with WP:NFC, information we take from non-free sources must be written in our own words and structure. We cannot copy sentences and phrases from our sources and string in this manner.

I'm afraid this article needs to be rewritten from scratch if it is to be retained. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 03:53, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
