AfD nomination of Magellan (book)

I have nominated Magellan (book), an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Magellan (book). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? ukexpat (talk) 04:10, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Ukexpat, somebody appears to have provided the information you required concerning Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. --Juan de Leon (talk) 08:11, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Magellan (book)

A tag has been placed on Magellan (book) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ukexpat (talk) 12:52, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Request reason:

I am nobody but myself. No valid reason reason has been given for the banning. There is only a very tenuous link between a historical book review of a sixteenth century discoverer - to a publisher - to who is probably merely an accountant for a web site - to a banned member who is a specialist in Parkinson's Disease ! This is ridiculous. Please explain how "General Tojo" can be a specialist in Parkinson's Disease and suddenly becomes a publisher of sixteenth century Portuguese history, and how my merely adding details of a biography of Magellan makes me General Tojo. There is an IP range for General Tojo that is far removed from mine. If necessary I can add my IP address to conclusively prove the difference. Please unblock rather than use completely arbitray and unjustified banning against anybody who merely disagrees. --Juan de Leon (talk) 13:03, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Request reason:

There is no confirmation by checkuser. It has merely been requested. If you want to verify that I am not the banned editor, we can check that editors known IP range with mine. Can an independent administrator please assess the very tenuous evidence objectively.

Decline reason:

Many checkusers are done without a formal request. If Alison says it's confirmed, it's confirmed. — Daniel Case (talk) 14:46, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

You have not been able to provide a shred of evidence in support of what you have written. Claiming somebody you don't even know to be an infallible source of information is sheer stupidity, or is it bias ? --Juan de Leon (talk) 15:56, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
