Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because... (I understand that LinkedIn and other social media should not be used as sources yet when I try to remove a LinkedIn link from this page, the edit is removed and the page is marked for speedy deletion. If there is another way to proceed please let me know, as I am new to creating pages.) --Cassist (talk) 16:20, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Cassist: As the page creator, you are not allowed to remove the speedy deletion tag. An administrator will evaluate the page and decide whether or not it should be deleted. --Drm310 (talk) 18:06, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So, by trying to remove a source link from LinkedIn, this causes the speedy deletion to be removed? This was not the intention; rather, my intent was to update this page so that it better reflects Wikipedia's guidelines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.2.75.118 (talk) 18:17, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@216.2.75.118: The LinkedIn link was within the {{db-copyvio}} speedy deletion tag - and yes, removing it (wrongfully) removed the speedy deletion.

You can continue editing the body of the article if you have useful content to add. It must be backed up by citing sources that Wikipedia considers reliable. --Drm310 (talk) 18:58, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because... (would like to remove the LinkedIn source but I'm unsure how to proceed without accidentally removing the speedy deletion.) --Cassist (talk) 19:27, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Cassist: You don't. That's an administrator's job. Either the article will be deleted, or the admin will remove the speedy deletion tag and accompanying link. Until that time, leave it alone. --Drm310 (talk) 20:20, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
