A tag has been placed on Draft:Lorenzo DeStefano requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://diaristmovie.com/filmmaker.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be 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 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's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. --TheImaCow (talk • contribs) 18:42, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.
Looking at your user contributions, I assume your request is about Draft:Lorenzo DeStefano. Unfortunately, I do not see it as "submitted". If you want to resubmit the draft, please see the instructions at WP:AFC. I will say, though, that I do not think it will be accepted as an article because I am unsure how this person is notable. In other words, why should this person have an article on Wikipedia? Having a body of creative work is not enough to justify an article. Please see WP:GNG and WP:FILMMAKER for our guidelines on when Wikipedia accepts articles on filmmakers.
I am going to close this request edit, but if you have any questions or comments please comment below and I or another editor will respond. You can also comment on my talkpage. Thanks for joining Wikipedia and I hope you have fun here. Z1720 (talk) 00:38, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Mexicajedi, I checked with another editor and they agree that this draft has not been submitted. I am not sure what went wrong, but you need to press the button labelled "submit for review" or add the following text to the top of the draft page: {{subst:submit}}. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments below. Z1720 (talk) 01:42, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for that, for some reason the only button I have been able to see is the submit changes. I have done as you have suggested and got a notification that it's now submitted for review. That's a new thing so that is good. Wait and see now!
I'm glad I could help. It might take a few days or weeks for a reply, so I hope you help edit other articles while waiting! Let me know if you need any help or have any questions. Z1720 (talk) 02:57, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia, Mexicajedi! Thank you for your contributions. I am Z1720 and I have been editing Wikipedia for some time, so if you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted because it included copyrighted content, which is not permitted on Wikipedia.
Hello, Mexicajedi!
Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Snowycats (talk) 20:24, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted because it included copyrighted content, which is not permitted on Wikipedia.
Hello Mexicajedi, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Draft:Lorenzo DeStefano have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. All other images must be made available under a free and open license that allows commercial and derivative reuse to be used on Wikipedia.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Curbon7 (talk) 12:02, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by JSFarman was:
This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
The comment the reviewer left was:
To meet notability requirements the references need to provide extensive coverage specifically about Lorenzo DeStefano (as opposed to his projects).
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.
If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Lorenzo DeStefano and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Lorenzo DeStefano, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
Hello, Mexicajedi. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Lorenzo DeStefano, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for article space.
If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.
If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.
