Proposed deletion of Aldona Kmieć


The article Aldona Kmieć has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Notability issues, unreliable references

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

 * Regarding your question, see WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS. Not everything is caught quickly. Thank you for pointing me to the JW article, I'll nominate it for deletion right away :) For criteria about notability for artists, see WP:ARTISTS.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 15:00, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Copy of answer to your help request
AK--I left this where you left your own help message, but I'm copying it here so that there's a better chance you'll see it. Please let me know if I can be of any help, or explain further.


 * AK: I assume (you didn't bother to say) that you're complaining about the deletion of Aldona Kmieć, and that you would like help understanding that. Is that correct?:
 * First, let me say that it's easy for you to contest that particular form of deletion. As a standard proposed deletion, you may simply remove the tag to say "I don't believe that that's a valid reason for deletion.  The other editor may then put up the article for deletion at WP:AFD, but there would be a longer discussion.
 * Second, "why my article?", hard to say how the editor proposing deletion came across your article, I haven't looked. Before I discuss your article, please go read and understand the first sections of WP:GNG.  This is the basic policy by which we attempt to consistently answer "should this article be kept on Wikipedia?" in cases like this.  That policy talks about needing multiple reliable sources, independent of the subject, that provide in-depth coverage of the subject.  The first reference is of questionable independence and does not provide in-depth coverage, the second provides no in-depth coverage.  Finding a couple profiles of yourself in mainstream newspapers, magazines, or books would be a better choice for finding neutral coverage of the subject.  References to two newspaper profiles of you added to your references would probably have completely avoided this issue.
 * Third, you ask whether notability rules are enforced equally at Wikipedia. The short answer is, despite our best efforts, no, of course not.  There are over four million Wikipedia articles, edited by hundreds of thousands of editors and thousands of administrators, the vast majority of whom are doing the best they can.  I would recommend WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS to you for reading.
 * Finally, with regard to Wojcik, I do see similar issues, I do think it's fair to ask why that article doesn't have independent sources, although at least one solid source exists not in the article.  If, after careful reading of WP:GNG, you decide that, in good faith, you feel it does not meet those requirements of WP:GNG, and you have carefully looked for additional sources that might help save the article first (this is required by WP:BEFORE), you may propose it for deletion as well, or start a discussion about it at AfD.  --j⚛e deckertalk 15:25, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
