Speedy deletion nomination of Oliver Harris (singer)[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 Oliver Harris (singer), 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 seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
It appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement of http://store.cdbaby.com/Artist/OliverHarris. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) 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.

Conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Paulsequoia. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Oliver Harris (singer), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the COI guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Applies as well to Draft:Oliver Harris (singer) of course. – Athaenara ✉ 18:25, 30 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Athaenara, I don't have any conflict of interest at all in any way in connection with Oliver Harris. I have never received any payment of any kind from Oliver Harris or anyone connected with Oliver Harris. I have no contractual arrangement of any kind with Oliver Harris or anyone connected with Oliver Harris. I have no other connection or relationship with Oliver Harris. I first met Oliver Harris for the first time on Wednesday 22 May 2019 - less than 6 weeks ago. I did not know Oliver Harris at all before Wednesday 22 May 2019 (other than seeing some of his performances when he was on stage).

Having seen Oliver Harris perform a number of times, my Wife discovered that she couldn't find any history about Oliver Harris on Wikipedia. My Wife and I use Wikipedia a great deal for reference relating to many kinds of information. I told my Wife that I would contact Oliver Harris and see if he would be happy to spend some time with me, so that I could interview him and write a brief history about him to put on Wikipedia. I wrote the brief history and gave a copy to Oliver so that he could use it for whatever purpose he wishes to use it. I then joined Wikipedia, made a number of amendments to other pages on Wikipedia, and then put the Page up about Oliver Harris on Wikipedia. I repeat that, as you will see from the above, I do not have any Conflict of Interest in connection with Oliver Harris. Paulsequoia (talk) 21:48, 30 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words.

Hi Diannaa,

I am the Chairman of Barnsley Women's Football Club which took over Barnsley Ladies Football Club in 2018 and changed its name to Barnsley Women's Football Club on that date.

I amended Barnsley L. F. C. to make it clear that it is now Barnsley W. F. C.

Because Barnsley L. F. C. was the name of the Club for 36 years until it changed its name to Barnsley W. F. C. in 2018, some people will search Wikipedia for Barnsley W. F. C. and some will search for Barnsley L.F.C.

My changes were designed to make it clear that Barnsley Ladies Football Club is now Barnsley Women's Football Club.

If I did this in the wrong way, this is due to my lack of experience with Wikipedia.

Best Wishes.

Hi Diannaa,
