Speedy deletion nomination of Concourse (newspaper)[edit]

Hello Jamesbirchall,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Concourse (newspaper) for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Rollingcontributor (talk) 17:50, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your work at Concourse[edit]

Hello James. Wikipedia policy states that if you are being paid for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you, who the client is, and any other relevant role or relationship (see Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure). Therefore I must ask if you are paid for the work you do at Concourse, or if you are doing so in a volunteer capacity.

If you are being paid, please ensure that you read and understand the above linked policy regarding paid contributions. If not, you can disregard it, but in either case you should also consult Wikipedia's plain and simple conflict of interest guide. It explains why Wikipedia discourages editors from writing about a subject with which they have an affiliation.

You should also review Wikipedia's copyright policy, as it appears the article you created has been tagged for deletion as a copyright violation. You won't be allowed to use copyrighted text, even if you are the copyright holder, unless specific steps are followed to donate the content - permanently and irrevocably - into the public domain.

I'm sorry if you've found these messages unfavourable. Wikipedia is a complicated project with lots of rules, so try not to get discouraged right away. It takes a while for new users to learn how it works, so don't give up. Good luck. --Drm310 (talk) 23:53, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Concourse (newspaper)[edit]

The article Concourse (newspaper) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Lack of notability WP:GNG, no references to reliable sources. Page was recreated after I boldly redirected to the university article

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
