Speedy deletion nomination of Geoffrey Raisman (neuroscientist)


A tag has been placed on Geoffrey Raisman (neuroscientist), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. red dog six (talk) 01:28, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Well, I know the article wasn't really spam, but it can still be edited while it hasn't been deleted yet so that it fits Wikipedia's article rules and doesn't get deleted. --  Ev il La ir ( ✉  |  c ) 03:28, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

 * what can i do to save it i worked hard on it. it was flagged in les than 5 seconds from time i posted it. Can you help me tweak it? I went into the help chat room someone named regkey told me to ad current event. So I did but it still got flagged?
 * I don't see how the article is "promoting" anything. I read the contents. The thing to do here is try to find the promotional contents of it and rewrite it so it doesn't look very promotional or remove some promotional content. --  Ev il La ir ( ✉  |  c ) 03:45, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
 * ya there isnt any promotional things its just about his work in fact i believe the guy works for charities. Hes anti establishment from what i have read. He could of made millions being a doc but wanted to do research in this "Plasicity" discovery of his.
 * Well, I don't think the article is going to get deleted as long as it doesn't meet the criteria for speedy deletion. I don't see any advertising. I always like to check the criteria for speedy deletion when I create articles to see if the subject is notable and does not meet any of the speedy deletion criteria. I would recommend checking the criteria for speedy deletion again, and clear out any violations that make the article meet the criteria. When checking over the speedy deletion criteria, I've successfully created articles that will probably stick around forever. None of them have been deleted. So, maybe, there's something you might have missed in the speedy deletion criteria. I don't want this article to get deleted; I don't see anything promotional. --  Ev il La ir ( ✉  |  c ) 04:00, 22 October 2014 (UTC) Ok well thanks ya i put over 20 hours into this I hope not. Feel free to edit it. I dont know what else to do?
 * As reviewing administrator, I deleted it/ I work with academic biographies frequently, and I tried to remove the promotionalism so the article can be kept, but I found in inextricably united to the whole. It will be necessary to start over. The article lacks a neutral perspective. He made one of the steps towards the development of a technique with clinical potential. This has to be included as one element of the article, but not the lede. The first step is to write the basic biography, in paragraphs, not lists., in chronological order, with the education first, not in italics, then the successive appointments. then describe the work, making references to the most important articles. As one part of it, describe the transplant contributions, using third party professional peer reviewed sources, not network television. then the awards and honors. Avoid sensationalism.  Then give the honours. The most impt one, FRS, should be mentioned in the lede also. WP articles can be used only as links, never as references.  the reference must be to the Royal Society site, & a report of the election, which should not be difficult to find. Editorial board memberships can be mentioned, but they are not considered here as particuarly important--pnly editor-in chief.
 * When the article is ready, submit it via the AfC process, and let me know on my user talk page. I will review it immediately, and make the necessary changes for style. I want to help you have a proper article. DGG ( talk ) 06:43, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
