Speedy deletion nomination of Mary Healy - Art Historian
A tag has been placed on Mary Healy - Art Historian requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. 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.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — 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 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 that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (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 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. &mdash; Ledgend  Gamer  17:59, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

As reviewing admin, I advise you that you would need to follow the procedure at WP:DCM to donate this material. However, you may not wish to actually go to the trouble, as it still would not show the appropriate notability for an encyclopedia article. Please see WP:PROF, FAQ about organisations, but which applies to some extent to    articles like this. What is needed is proof that she has made an impact in her subject. It would be extraordinarily unusual for someone who is still a PHD student to have done so, though there have been a very few cases. Usually the level is that of full professor.  Impact as an academic is usually shown by published work, and the citations to it. "Presentations" doesn't do it. Peer-reviewed papers and books by major academic publishers do, if they are cited sufficiently. Alternatively, there  needs to be  references providing substantial coverage from  3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases. It does not appear to be present here. I have therefore proposed the article for deletion.  If you have the material to add, do so,and remove the tag. If I or anyone else thinks it does not show notability, the article  will be nominated for deleted by a regular deletion process. If you decide instead to let it be deleted, just  add   to the top of the page. DGG (talk) 19:58, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
