Speedy deletion nomination of Dangerous Games: faces, incidents and casualties of the Cold War

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 Dangerous Games: faces, incidents and casualties of the Cold War 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 clear 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

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 verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website 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 that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Proposed deletion of Scott Baron

The article Scott Baron has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not notable, no third party sources

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Agreed. -Missclark (talk) 22:34, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Then perhaps you'd consider doing away with James E. Wise, Jr. for the same reasons? You can always add {{db-g7}} to the top of the page to request deletion. Cheers. Hairhorn (talk) 01:58, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good to me...take it down. Thank you Hairhorn. -Missclark (talk) 01:28, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Missclark. I've declined the speedy deletion of James E. Wise, Jr. because I thought the subject could sustain an argument for notability. However, I don't want my action to be a source of aggravation or stress for you so if you really want the article deleted you can add a {{proposed deletion/dated}} tag (or a {{db-g7}} tag) at the top of the article. This will bring the article to the attention of another admin for review without having to go through an AfD. I won't be watching this page so if you have any questions or concerns please post to my user talk. Regards Tiderolls 08:18, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Tiderolls, I believe James Wise and Scott Baron to be notable wartime authors. I just do not have the effort to continually contest deletions. If this is something you would like for me to fight for along with you I will...just let me know. Missclark (talk) 02:44, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
