A tag has been placed on Joint Fires Integration and Interoperability Team, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. —C.Fred (talk) 19:26, 2 June 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Deletion and copyvios

Cut&pasting the following response I made a few days back to another account on the same issue:
Please check out WP:COPY and Wikipedia:Copyright FAQ. Basically, if you own the right to the material, then you have the right to post the material to Wikipedia. Do be aware that to do so, you must release the material under the WP:GFDL. This has a lot of effects, but in general it means that you are allowing anyone else to use this material, as long as they follow the rules of the GFDL. Anyone, not just Wikipedia. Part of the premise of WIkipedia is that material here is freely availible for others to use for any reason. That's why, for instance, we cannot accept permission to use material for "Non-commercial purposes only". Wikipedia may be non-commercial, but all material on it must be able to be used by others, even for commercial purposes. You need to be aware that this is what you are doing with your text when you place it on our site. If you decide that you do still want to post your material on the project under the GFDL, then you need to follow some steps to get it officially recognized as legitimate under the GFDL. I'll cut&paste from one of the warning templates:
  • If you hold the copyright to this text and permit its use under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License:
Explain this on this article's discussion page, then either display a notice to this effect at the site of original publication or send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en at wikimedia dot org or a postal letter to the Wikimedia Foundation. These messages must explicitly permit use under the GFDL.
Note: Articles on Wikipedia must be written from a neutral point of view and must be verifiable in published third-party sources; copyright issues aside, your text may not be appropriate for inclusion in Wikipedia.

[edit] Deletion and notability

The "irrelevant" comment has to do with notability. Wikipedia does not list just every group and organization in the world. We limit it to groups that are notable. Notability is best covered at WP:NOTE. Please read that link. In general, you will need to provide reliable, independant sources about your organization (see the previous link). You will likely also have issues with conflict of interest. This basically tells why it is generally a Very Bad Idea for people or groups to write about themselves on the project. It very, veyr often ends badly. Please read all the links I've given in these two replies. Hopefully they will give you info on what is needed for the project. - TexasAndroid 19:41, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
