==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] of [[:User:Gizachew Taddesse AKALU/sandbox]]==

The page [[:User:Gizachew Taddesse AKALU/sandbox]] has been deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|criteria for speedy deletion]], by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. As the page met any of these strictly-defined criteria, it was deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been deleted are:
* It seemed to be unambiguous advertising which only promoted a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to have been fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See [[WP:CSD#G11|section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion]].) Please read [[Wikipedia:Spam|the guidelines on spam]] and [[Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations]] for more information.
*It appeared to be an unambiguous [[Wikipedia:Copyrights|copyright]] infringement of https://africanscientists.africa/business-directory/akalu/. (See [[WP:CSD#G12|section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion]].) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition has been 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 [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|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:Copyrights|Wikipedia’s copyright policy]] for more details, or ask a question [[Wikipedia:Help desk|here]].
Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with [[Wikipedia:List of policies|Wikipedia’s policies and guidelines]]. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=User%3AGizachew+Taddesse+AKALU%2Fsandbox|deleting administrator}}, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at [[Wikipedia:Deletion review]].
