User talk:Amcnicoll

Well, this is my actual talk page. Go ahead.

Team 639
Having had a look at the state of the page pre-deletion, it wasn't vandalised at all. What caused the deletion, though, was a lack of notability. There was no coverage in third-party sources, and the only claim to notability was that the team had participated in a particular competition which it was formed to compete in. Now, obviously the article was deleted years ago and times change. If there's notability (verifiable notability, per the link I've referred to earlier), there's nothing wrong with having another go at writing the article again. The subject does need to be notable, though. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 04:50, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Vladimir Andreevich Uspensky


The article Vladimir Andreevich Uspensky has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Assuming this is VA Uspensky from google scholar, then I'm not seeing the cites to support notability. Two co-authored papers in the 70s and and a single authored paper in the 40s is nothing in computer science

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.

Addressed on the talk page just this morning. Forgot to login so only an IP address was left behind. The "VA Uspensky" found above is not the same person; this name is very common, and since the Vladimir Uspenski of interest primarily published in Russian and in print, his results don't tend to surface well in search results.
