Hawkeye Technology Inc.[edit]

I recently submitted a page for review Hawkeye Technology Inc. It says it was deleted for copyright infringement. I am not clear on what in the article was considered copyright. I spoke with RHaworth on his talk page about this and he suggested that it wasn't a copyright violation and it should have been tagged a different way. If you could please give me some direction on why you deleted this article I would greatly appreciate it. If there is any way to get the article back I would be grateful, but I assume there is not. I would like some feedback on what I could change in order to not have deleted before I spend my time making another article only to have it deleted. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fsctech (talkcontribs) 20:48, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think you missed he sarcasm in RHaworth comment - if i were to rephrase it freely his comment states "The article shouldn't have been tagged as a copyright violation, but it should have been removed on sight for being spam". Why it wasn't tagged as such? Because i strongly believe that submissions submitted trough AFC should receive some lenience in regards to the usual general deletion rules even if they technically apply to those pages as well - and because a legal issue such as copyright violation is a more serious issue then a wikipedia content issue (One is against the law, two is merely a site-own policy) .Having said that - the article actually is a copyright violation as it literally copies several lines of text from [1] and [2] while paraphrasing a few other. Both of the linked pages explicitly state their content is copyrighted, which in turn means that copying them is a copyright violation. Also note that i didn't delete the page - RHaworth did.
As for improving the page:
  • Don't copy content directly from any external source, unless it is explicitly released under a free license (CC-BY-SA or GDFL). And even then you often don't want to do so, since encyclopedic writing styles tend to differ from the ye-average text.
  • Read WP:BFAQ carefully. This is not really specific to your article, but i advise doing so when writing any company-related article.
  • Check if the company can pass WP:CORP.
  • Check if the company can back up point 2 trough reliable sources.
  • Write a basic article that is completely sourced with these reliable sources and submit it for review.
Even so i would point out that company's are only rarely notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia. Even taking into consideration that company related article's are quite often submitted (Which, from a marketing stance is understandable) only a fraction enters the main article space, and even fewer remain there after a couple of years.
