Proposed deletion of Campanelli Manuela
Hello, Ericbrockman24. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Campanelli Manuela, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Campanelli Manuela to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.

Thanks, ubiquity (talk) 14:16, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Campanelli Manuela


A tag has been placed on Campanelli Manuela requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.rit.edu/science/sites/rit.edu.science/files/2016%20Speaker%20Abstracts%20and%20Bios.pdf. 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 or other printed material 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 "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. ubiquity (talk) 14:19, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

Campanelli Manuela
I saw in the edit history for Campanelli Manuela that you have added references and are compiling more, but you are missing the point of the two tags on the page. The speedy deletion tag (the pink one) is for copyright violations. You have simply copied the bio that Campanelli has given for several conferences and used that as the first paragraph of the article. You need to rewrite this paragraph so that it is not a copy of existing material. While you do this, it would be good to removed the peacock words like "leading" and "groundbreaking" because they make the article look promotional. The other tag is for not having suitable references, but adding citations to Campanelli's papers doesn't solve this. You need references to reputable, independent sources that confirm the information in your article. For instance, you say she is an expert in computational General Relativity. Who says? THAT'S the kind of reference you need.

You need to address the copyright problem immediately, as the article may be deleted without other notice while it has that tag. You can take a week to provide the references to satisfy the second tag. ubiquity (talk) 15:29, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
