Speedy deletion nomination of User:Jtsharpie7/sandbox

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.

Do not create articles about living people that are entirely negative in tone and unsourced. Wikipedia has a policy of verifiability and any negative information we use must be reliably sourced, and our articles must be balanced. Negative, unreferenced biographies of living people are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Under section G10 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images in violation of our biographies of living persons policy will be blocked from editing.

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 removed 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

I can only assume that Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi made a mistake, and clicked on the wrong link, as the page could not possible, as far as I can see, be regarded as an example of "articles about living people that are entirely negative in tone and unsourced". The next link to that one is for deletion of a page which is promotional, which certainly does apply in this case, in very large measure, so probably that is what Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi intended. All Wikipedia content must be written from a neutral point of view, and must not be written like promotional material or advertisements. Even more serious, however, is the fact that the content was copied from a page on another web site, in violation of copyright. It is scarcely ever acceptable to post content copied from elsewhere to Wikipedia. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 14:59, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
