Your submission at Articles for creation: Edward Allred (February 26)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Theroadislong was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Linkedin.com Amazon and Wikipedia are not reliable sources.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Edward Allred

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 Draft:Edward Allred, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

It is almost never suitable to copy content from another web site to Wikipedia, for more than one reason, the most important being copyright. When you post anything to Wikipedia you release it for anyone in the world to reuse it, either unchanged or modified in any way whatever, subject to attribution to Wikipedia. It is very rare that the owner of a web site licenses content for such very free reuse, and in those few occasions when they do so, we require proof of the fact. We don't assume that content is freely licensed on the unsubstantiated say so of just anyone who comes along and creates a Wikipedia account. Certainly we can't accept text previously published on a web site which has a copyright notice saying "all rights reserved", as in the case of material you have posted JBW (talk) 21:04, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What do you thik was copied? Granted, the facts are cited elsewhere - as all noteworthy facts are - but I did not copy text from a copyrighted website that I am aware of. TexasHistoryExplorer (talk) 22:32, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I see. So, where an existing web site had "Mr. Allred has been recognized for his achievements through numerous awards and recognitions, including membership in America’s Top 100 High Stakes Litigators, Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, and Million Dollar Advocates Forum", by a remarkable coincidence, you completely independently came up with the wording "Allred is recognized for his achievements through numerous awards and recognitions, including membership in America's Top 100 High Stakes Litigators, Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, and Million Dollar Advocates Forum." Likewise where that web site had "He is a member of the San Antonio Bar Foundation, San Antonio Bar Association, and the Academy of Rail Labor Attorneys", by an equally remarkable coincidence you wrote "He is a member of the San Antonio Bar Foundation, the San Antonio Bar Association, and the Academy of Rail Labor Attorneys." Perhaps you can understand how, reading those, and numerous other similar funny coincidences, I made the mistake of thinking you had copied a large proportion of the text which you posted.
