Speedy deletion nomination of Anand Srivastava


A tag has been placed on Anand Srivastava 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 https://www.linkedin.com/pub/anand-srivastava-ms-phd/7a/828/595. 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.

Hello, I'm BeenAroundAWhile. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Anand Srivastava because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Status and Advice

 * As reviewing administrator, I deleted the article. On the now deleted talk p. you said that the material was deliberately copied from linked in. We can not use it here without a full free license under the formalities of WP:DCM, which irrevocably permits anyone in the world for using, modify, and distributing it for any purpose, even commercial. But that is not advised, for material on a website is usually written in a promotional manner, and is generally not suitable for an encyclopedia. That was the case here, and I deleted the article fro being promotional as well.  It is better to rewrite.

When you do, be concise. Describe first his education, degrees and positions. Then add a short section on his work, concentrating on the most cited papers in major journals. Then add any major prizes of nation or international stature.

In particular, be aware of our Terms of Use, particularly with respect to paid contributions without disclosure. If you are him or his representative, you must disclose the conflict of interest.  DGG ( talk ) 17:03, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
