A tag has been placed on History of the America's Cup 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 https://www.pittwateronlinenews.com/RPAYC-Commodore-America-Cup-Challenger-1908-1914.php. 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 nominationbyvisiting 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.

Please don't delete!

The content has been on the America's Cup page since years. I only transferred it to its own page, as it got to long. As far as I can tell most of this was written on that page in 2006 and 2007. See here in the history: [1].

If this is indeed just stolen content, the feel free to delete. I have written nothing of it.

BUT, this looks more like the page you reference has copied a lot from the former America's Cup page, as the source was only created in 2017. That's much later than most of the content was written on the America's Cup page. V.Glas (talk) 23:16, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
