Speedy deletion of Dr. Caroline Leaf
A tag has been placed on Dr. Caroline Leaf, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

I have deleted all information regarding Dr. Caroline's products for sale, or her company, and would like to put this information as a biography about her, if possible. Please give any advice possible, I'm willing to comply with any rules.

Thank you, Amy

About Your article: Dr. Caroline Leaf
 I origionally posted this on the article's talk page but i decided to post it here as well 


 * Hi Amy!
 * First things first: On a standart Qwerty keyboard the tilde is the top left most key under Escape, next to the number 1, and above the TAB. If you cant type it, you can scroll down and click the four tildes next to Sign your username. This will add the tildes to the article.


 * On the article:
 * Depending on the nature of the article, several guidelines must be met: If the article is mainly a biography of misses leaf, the Rules for Biography for living persons must be met.  Also, the person being the subject of the biography must have a certain amount of notability This is to prevent the addition of random people with no encyclopedic value to Wikipedia.


 * If the subject of the article is the learning technique you mentioned, it must comply to the WP:NOR rules. WP:NOR can be summed up as: No origional research is allowed, which means that only generally accepted research can be added as being encyclopedic. If this a new technique, if would violate the rules on research, meaning it can not be added until it gains some industry acceptance.


 * I know this seems like a lot of rules, and i agree, there are a lot of them around. In fact, biographies on living persons are the most rule-intensive articles on wikipedia, as living persons could be easily violated with wrong information. If you need any help concerning the rules, The writing of the article (If notable, i can't judge that unless there are no claims at all) or the formatting of the article (Such as references, layout) feel free to drop me a note on my User page.


 * Kind regards,

 * And as a little addition to this: Don't be afraid to edit, and don't be afraid to violate rules (As long as its not intentional :-) ). There are many rules around, but one of the core rules on wikipedia is that is everyone is allowed to edit. And after all: On wikipedia its faster to fix something, then to break something. So don't worry about making mistakes, and feel free to ask for help from me, another editor or an admin in case you need it.


 * And as a little sidenote: Most of the maintenance work on Wikipedia is semi-automated, and there are a lot of volunteers working on it. At times it can feel like there is an entire legion of editors pouncing on you if something doesn't go as it is intended. When your new around here, this might be kind of threating, but don't worry about that happening, as it is never personal, and no one will Bite you. :)   Excirial ( Talk, Contribs ) 18:19, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
