Ian Davies, photographer[edit]
If there are independent sources for an Ian Davies (photographer) who's of encyclopedic significance, please create an article about him. And then link to the new article from Ian Davies and List of photographers. Thank you. -- Hoary (talk) 23:31, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Ian Davies (photographer), and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.fouziamadani.com/artist/ian_davies/artist_profile/.
It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.
If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

Speedy deletion nomination of Ian Davies (photographer)[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 Ian Davies (photographer) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.fouziamadani.com/artist/ian_davies/artist_profile/. 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. 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 modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines 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 "Click here to 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. reddogsix (talk) 17:54, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

Stop adding the photographer.[edit]
I have removed Ian Davies (photographer) from the disambiguation page and it is time I do this. You have failed to show that this individual is notable and have been warned repeatedly as such. Your article was speedy deleted because no notability was established. That means that the subject is currently not suitable for Wikipedia. This means you cannot just keep on sticking it on an Disambiguation page. Anyway it's pointless. There is no longer an article so the link leads nowhere. I am asking you to do one of two things now. Either stop trying to add Ian Davies altogether because he is not notable enough, or show me using independent reliable sources that he is indeed notable enough. If you ignore this and persist in adding him to pages it will disruptive editing, which can lead to a block. If you need help talk to me. Trout 71 11:59, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
