Speedy deletion nomination of User:Clayton Chan, DDS


A tag has been placed on User:Clayton Chan, DDS requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://occlusionconnections.com/about-dr-chan.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites 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 modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to 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 removed 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.

 * Wikipedia cannot hold copyright material, not even in sandboxes or AfC submission pages, not even temporarily. Please read Copy-paste.


 * Please note that assertion of permission to use text is not enough; we have to be certain that the person giving a release has the authority to do so, and that the actual copyright holder understands and agrees to Wikipedia's license terms, which allow any reader to copy, modify and re-use material for any purpose including commercial. For those reasons, a formal copyright release, as described above, is required.


 * It is very seldom worth making a copyright release, because the promotional tone of a company or personal website is likely to be quite unsuitable for an encyclopedia article, which requires a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not a notice-board for pinning up promotional material.


 * Article subjects need to have notability, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." There is more detail at WP:Notability (people), and good advice on how to write an acceptable article at WP:Your first article.


 * If you are the subject of the article, please be aware that writing about yourself on Wikipedia is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained at Autobiography and Conflict of interest.

Wikipedia is not LinkedIn
Short form of all the boiler-plate messages above above: Dr. Chan, I am sorry that we do not make clear to new contributors that Wikipedia is not a site like LinkedIn or Facebook for them to write about themselves, and it is extremely resistant to anything that looks like promotion. User pages are intended for the volunteers who are here to build the encyclopedia to say something about themselves and their Wikipedia work, in order to assist communication within the project. They are not for substantial content... that is unrelated to Wikipedia. As explained at WP:NOTWEBHOST: "Wikipedians have their own user pages, but they should be used primarily to present information relevant to working on the encyclopedia. Limited biographical information is allowed, but user pages should not function as personal webpages or be repositories for large amounts of material that is irrelevant to collaborating on Wikipedia. If you are looking to make a personal webpage or blog or to post your résumé, please make use of one of the many free providers on the Internet or any hosting included with your Internet account."

Proposed deletion of Neuromuscular Dentistry


The article Neuromuscular Dentistry has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Neuromuscular dentistry has previously been deleted, see Articles for deletion/Neuromuscular dentistry. This article, Neuromuscular Dentistry, I believe represents an attempt to circumvent this deletion, since it was created shortly after the deletion (Aug 2013). Much promotional content has already been removed. All the same reasons for nominating the original article apply again here: use of sources which do not even contain the term "neuromuscular dentistry", constituting original research. Most sources are primary sources, which are strongly discouraged per WP:MEDRS

While all constructive 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. Lesion ( talk ) 10:53, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

I attempted to clean up the Original page, but you guys removed everything I worked on today...I referenced from the International College of Craniomandibular Orthopedics the term they also recognize as "Neuromuscular dentistry" and you all still ignored and removed the content. I find it odd and confusing. Neuromuscular Dentistry is a known fact within the dental community which has much supportive scientific literature relating to the use of electronic measuring instrumentation. It is the approach of using objective measurements in dentistry that causes dentists to recognize that Neuromuscular Dentistry exists whether Wikipedia wants to acknowledge this fact or not. Scientific literature doesn't call measuring with EMGs, or jaw tracking or low Frequency TENS Neuromuscular Dentistry as such but the use of these tools as a whole is what has been identified as Neuromuscular Dentistry - the practice of dentistry amongst dentist who use these technologies and measure their patients physiologic jaw responses. Just like a Cardiologist uses EKG or EEG. He is not just a heart doctor or just a physician or medical doctor, but a particular physician who measures using EKG instrumentation and they call him/her a Cardiologist...so it is with dentist who use measuring instrumentation as mentioned we are called Neuromuscular Dentists. This is not a self promotion or some advertisement of self serving means as some of your staff reviewers are wrongly assuming/usumptions...from your lack  of understanding the discipline...

Of course I am naturally just a dentistry trying to help with no specific self serving reason bringing a further awareness to this world that such a term exists and has been noted within the TMD Temmporomandibular joint dysfunction (also known by laymen as TMJ) arena of dentistry. Wiki makes it difficult to make this happen...Please help me understand your quick deletions. It doesn't encouragement to add or enhance Wiki's knowledge base of information.


 * Apologies if it just seems like all your hard work is being randomly deleted, but all medical content on wikipedia must be based on reliable, secondary sources, Ideally recent ones published in peer review journals. The full policy is delineated here WP:MEDRS. It is a difficult fact that a PubMed search of keywords "neuromuscular dentistry" yields 3 results: ,, one of which is 5 years old, the others older. Per the original deletion discussion, Dent Today. 2008 Aug;27(8):64, 66-7. Neuromuscular dentistry. Dickerson B, Malin LJ could not be assessed for suitablility because it was paywalled. Also, the journal/magazine didn't look particularly reliable. I wonder if it is a letter or somesuch rather than a true scientific paper? This is the only source so far I have found that could be used to support this term. I am not convinced the "iccmo" is a suitable source. It appears to be a directory of specialist dentists who advocate this philosophy. Presumably this organization takes a membership fee and in return directs visitors to its website to their local iccmo registered dentist. Lesion  ( talk ) 02:52, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Gneuromuscular Dentistry


The article Gneuromuscular Dentistry has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:

This article, "Gneuromuscular Dentistry", I believe represents an attempt to circumvent this deletion, since it was created shortly after the deletion (Aug 2013), by the same user Clayton Chan, DDS. Other editors raised concerns about this editor when their user page was found to be filled with blatant advertising and self promotion and deleted.

Shameless self promotion by use of your own sources
It is grossly inappropriate to use sources that you yourself are involved in. This constitutes a Conflict of interest (see WP:COI and WP:conflict of interest (medicine)).

"Gneuromuscular dentistry" phonetic much?
Just out of curiosity, is the "G" in Gneuromuscular dentistry supposed to be silent or voiced? I know that maxillofacial surgeons voice the "G" in words like retrognathic. I can see how this might be more difficult in a word like "Gneuromuscular" though. I tried to say it with a voiced G and ended up saying something like Gnu ... I suppose these are everyday difficulties that the neologist faces. Lesion ( talk ) 11:53, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

"Neuromuscular dentistry"
There are zero articles on pubmed that come up when this term is entered. That raises concerns about its acceptance by the dental community. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 20:16, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
 * See also the original deletion discussion here: Articles for deletion/Neuromuscular dentistry. There needs to be sources which meet the sourcing policy for medical content (described here: WP:MEDRS) before it is appropriate to have such an article. It may be better all round to define such a concept (if indeed a reliable source can be found) on the main TMD page (Temporomandibular joint dysfunction).
