Speedy deletion nomination of Pekka Neittaanmäki


A tag has been placed on Pekka Neittaanmäki, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

 * Note WP is not the place to post somebody's CV (and even less so in a whole bunch of different articles). There are other venues for this, such as LinkedIn. WP is an encyclopedia and content should reflect this. Please see What Wikipedia is not.

Your questions
I al moving your remarks/questions from Talk:Pekka Neittaanmäki here, because that article may be deleted at any moment. My answers are below. --Randykitty (talk) 07:54, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (The page is still being edited. Please do not remove. Professional contribution to science will be expanded and some scientific issues explained and the bullet points reduced - at the moment they are acting to help re-organsation PS Biography Portal is being considered now as well as WikiFinlandia.

 * I have no clue what you are trying to say in your PS... --Randykitty (talk) 11:51, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

I am trying to move these pages to Biography portal. Before that I need to read Wikipedia's massive and unwieldy instructional manual scattered all over the Wikipedia and the talks that are quasi-randomly organised. Meanwhile while I try to recover lost material, it keeps up disappearing and gets me in more difficulties. Make it more user-friendly please, or is it out of the hands of anyone, too hard to do by now. I might contact Jimmy Walton, if he is anymore interested in contributors' feedback. What does this high-faluting encyclopedia for everyman means anymore - I would rather call it a playground for nerds who want to show their invented skills in making things convoluted and difficult for contributors? Please return my contents deleted so that I can put it somewhere else.

PS If you need to delete it speedily just give me enough time to get my contents back. I am busy at work and need to do the editing during this weekend. I understand Wikipedia's philosohphy and have no problems in cooperating and will do my best to get the pages to their correct platform. Nothing personal, that is, I'd like to add. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Itgoeswiki (talk • contribs) 02:28, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure which "Biography Portal" that you're talking about. WP Portals are entries to groups of articles and it would be inappropriate to put this material there. The whole thing you were doing was inapprpriate. WP is not for posting your (or somebody else's) CV. For that, there is LinkedIn or ResearchGate and such. The deleted morsels were just parts of this person's CV, which certainly you have available somewhere as it looked like it had just been cut and pasted. Reposting that stuff is inappropriate. I am sorry that you feel that WP has become too complex. Article creation is indeed one of the hardest things to do here. What you should do is to have a look at other biographies of scientists here on WP (especially those that have been judged to be "good articles": Category:GA-Class biography (science and academia) articles) and take them as an example for how a biographical article should look like. You should also have a look at WP:PROF. You cannot create biographies of just anybody here, it has to meet our inclusion criteria. A subject needs to be "notable" (in the WP sense) in order to be considered for inclusion. "Notability" has nothing to do with merit or not (somebody may be notable because they did bad things, for example). Rather, "notability" indicates that a subject has been "noted" by others, independent of the subject. This has to be shown by sourcing the article to independent reliable sources.
 * I have linked some of the more important guidelines and policies in the preceding paragraph. If you read those, that already should give you a better idea of what is needed here. I hope that this small selection of the indeed quite numerous essays, guidelines, and policies makes things a bit less daunting. --Randykitty (talk) 07:54, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
