Page deletion: Paul Kroskrity
The fact that a page is publicly viewable does not mean that it is free to reuse, amend or sell. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient. It's probably simpler to rewrite in your own words avoiding copying or closely paraphrasing text.

You need to provide better independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that he meets the notability guidelines. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, or they will be deleted. I think he probably is notable enough, but at present most of the text is sourced to what he says about himself, clearly not independent third-party sources Jimfbleak - talk to me?  16:45, 3 January 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm logging of shortly, so I'll reply in detail tomorrow. You can always start pages here Jimfbleak - talk to me?  19:30, 3 January 2015 (UTC)


 * You can use his CV and uni pages as sources for purely factual stuff, as long as you don't copy the text. A list of publications is probably best left as an external link unless they are important beyond his own academic sphere. I don't do many biographies, but I wrote Pamela C. Rasmussen (forgive me for using my own article as an example, but it's easy for me to find). I've started with her academic career and key highlights to establish notability, then gone on to a summary of her research interests, her major book and an important academic fraud. There is no list of publications as such. Your man may not have quite such a high profile, but perhaps there is more than his own pages out there? 06:54, 4 January 2015 (UTC)


 * I'd be happy to comment, just ping me when you're ready Jimfbleak - talk to me?  15:40, 4 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I did miss your first post. You can of course  have a list. My view is that lists are a poor substitute for proper prose, and add little to the article. If individual publications are of global importance, they deserve some explanatory text, otherwise its just a list of no obvious importance to anyone but the article's subject and a few others in the field. However, you are not aiming for WP:FA, so it's your call Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  10:02, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
 * It looks pretty good, well-referenced, neutral and clarifies notability. Use the "Move" button to put it back into article space. Jimfbleak - talk to me?  07:03, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
