Welcome!

Hello, David.aparicio, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Project Hoshimi, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Project Hoshimi

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 Project Hoshimi requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. WuhWuzDat 18:55, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Project Hoshimi. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you. WuhWuzDat 19:32, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop removing speedy deletion notices from pages that you have created yourself, as you did with Project Hoshimi. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. WuhWuzDat 19:40, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Problems with Project Hoshimi

Hello, David. Apart from the issue raised above, there were two other problems with the article Project Hoshimi.

It was written in unambiguously promotional terms. Wikipedia is not a medium for advertising or promotion.
A large part of the text was copied from another source, meaning that it was almost certainly a copyright infringement. It is almost never acceptable to use content copied from elsewhere.

However, even if the article were to be rewritten to avoid those two problems, it would probably be deleted again unless the subject satisfies Wikipedia's notability standards, and it can be shown that there are WP:reliable sources independent of the subject that show it does. My searches strongly suggest that it does not. JamesBWatson (talk) 12:09, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have just found your message to me, referring to Imagine Cup. I have not examined that article to see how well or how badly it satisfies Wikipedia's inclusion criteria, but, apart from the possibility that it actually does so better than the article you created, there is also the possibility that it doesn't, and should itself be deleted: see WP:OTHERSTUFF.

Hi James, I agree with Wikipedia isn't a medium for promotion but it's only a article on a student competition where Microsoft France is a official partner, like Imagine Cup. Moreover you say : "2.A large part of the text was copied from another source", where ??? Because i have writed this article yesterday, i don't do plagiat. Regards --David.aparicio (talk) 12:16, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Much of the text can be found at all of the following locations: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2212926499, http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=432560, http://compsci.ca/blog/imagine-cup-korea-07-project-hoshimi-ai-programming-battle/, http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/events/imaginecup/videos.mspx, http://oko.fei.tuke.sk/www/sk/studenti/dokumenty/imagine_cup_2006_podmienky.rtf, http://microsoft.unn.ru/?doc=537, and numerous other places. I neither know nor care where its original publication was. Since a large chunk of the same text was quoted in a Wikipedia article created in March 2007 (but since then deleted) it is clear that, whether or not you were the original author of the text, you did not write it yesterday.
