[edit]

Hello, Jgg1974, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as List of all boxing glove brands, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

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 List of all boxing glove brands requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://boxingroyal.com/2017/08/10/list-of-all-boxing-glove-brands/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material 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 use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy 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 "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.

Unfortunately you've stumbled into a number of problems with this article :

  • Copyright as mentioned above. Even though it's pretty obvious that you wrote the material at boxingroyal.com and pasted it onto wikipedia - that's a problem. You've got copyright on the material. Wikipedia gives permission for anybody to do anything (pretty much) with its material. Wikipedia can't give away your material without your consent. So Wikipedia can't accept the material you've previously published on the internet elsewhere.
  • Reliable sources - boxingroyal.com is pretty obviously your blog so it's not acceptable as a reliable source for a wikipedia article. Not is any website which uses user-generated content such as imdb.com.
  • A List of all boxing glove brands is begging for someone to come along and contradict you. Your opening sentence admits as much when it backtracks and restricts the article to "a list of all the major Boxing Glove Brands".

Starting a new article is fraught with problems as you've found. The Article Wizard is a less perilous way of starting an article. Hope that helps, Cabayi (talk) 18:54, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article List of all boxing glove brands has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

All of two of these pages have Wikipedia articles. Brands change, and given the lack of individual notability I don't think it meets the list requirements.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.
