Category:Copyright violations for speedy deletion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 |
Please see Wikipedia:Copyrights for any questions on what does and does not constitute a copyright violation. For the formal definition of what is eligible for speedy deletion as "blatant copyright infringement", see Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion. |
Wikipedia administrators are tasked with the responsibility of "speedily deleting" articles that are the result of copyright violations of websites or printed material.
Please be careful when marking a page as a copyright violation. This category is for pages or images whose original forms were copyright infringements. If the page only recently experienced copyright problems, please consider simply reverting those changes. If the page does not consist of an obvious or verbatim copyright violation, please consider using {{copyvio}} instead so that it may undergo further review.
To list articles in this category (as well as Category:Candidates for speedy deletion) use the template {{db-copyvio}} or a redirect to it (such as {{db-g12}}).
For any discussion of pages listed for speedy deletion see Wikipedia:Speedy deletions. All deleted articles are automatically listed in the deletion log.
