Speedy deletion nomination of Ian Cooper (Violinist)


A tag has been placed on Ian Cooper (Violinist) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about it should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you can assert the notability of the subject,. Clicking that button 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 article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

COI
Hello Ianjazz. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * 1) Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * 2) Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * 3) Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * 4) Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Clovis Sangrail (talk) 07:05, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Autobiography
Hi, Wikipedia has a strong policy against autobiographical articles, please read wp:AB, as all articles must conform to No original research, Neutral point of view, and Verifiability. Essentially unless its correcting vandalism, no-one should edit articles about themselves. Clovis Sangrail (talk) 07:57, 17 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi - WP:AB explains the issue pretty well. Essentially, information which only the subject can verify (or know) can't be included in Wikipedia.  Everything should be sourced from independent third party resources.  The autobiography policy is there because its too difficult for people to objectively evaluate themselves.  However, if there are things which are incorrect in an article which the subject notices, the ideal process is for them to supply independent information on the article's discussion page and ask one of the other editors who have been working on the article to verify and include it.  Without such a policy, there would be too much of a tendency for people to whitewash out their past.  Hope this helps.  Clovis Sangrail (talk) 07:32, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
