Thanks for email. The fact that an article has been deleted does not prevent recreation, unless it's been protected. You didn't say what the page is, but if it's Margaret Dolinsky, that shouldn't be a problem, let me know. If you write an article, you should provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and to show that she meets the notability guidelines. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have references. Although it's not compulsory to put the refs in-line, it makes it easier to check what facts they are supporting.

You cannot' copy text from any website unless it explicitly releases its content under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL. It's not a good idea anyway, since people's bios on the web are not necessarily neutral and encyclopedic. If it's your website, you can add such a licence, or I can advise you how to enable Wikipedia to use the text. In practice, it's easier to start from scratch.

The copied text wasn't particularly promotional, no claims to be world's greatest etc, but was simply an uncritical list of achievements, with little biographical content, and no adverse reviews. Autobiographies should be avoided because it's difficult to be dispassionate.

If you recreate, include at least some of the publications to help with notability, and Wikilink to relevant articles. If you like, you can try out here, and let me know so I can advise before posting  Jimfbleak  -  talk to me?  06:08, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Margaret Dolinsky


A tag has been placed on Margaret Dolinsky requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Karl 334  ☞ TALK to ME ☜  19:17, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Margaret Dolinsky
Hi, you have obviously tried to respond to the problem with using copyright material, but there is some way to go yet. You need to provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts or show that it meets the notability guidelines for people. It is now wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references. As a matter of policy, all biographies of living people will be deleted if they do not have references. You should obviously also write in a neutral and encyclopaedic tone.

The fact that some one exists does not in itself make them notable. For example, hundreds of new bands are deleted because they don't meet the music criteria. If Margaret is notable, we need to know what she has done that makes her so, preferably with in-line references. Have a look at Pablo Picasso. It's not a particularly good article, with lots unreferenced, but it does show how references should look. It's unlikely that you will be able to use pictures of her work since they will all be copyright.  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  06:49, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
