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]

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

1. It was written in unambiguously promotional terms. Wikipedia is not a medium for advertising or promotion.
2. 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

I have just found your message to me, referring to

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.

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.
