Reasons for Deletion
Reasons for deletion include, but are not limited to, the following (subject to the condition that improvement or deletion of an offending section, if practical, is preferable to deletion of an entire page):
 * Copyright violations and other material violating Wikipedia's non-free content criteria
 * Vandalism, including inflammatory redirects, pages that exist only to disparage their subject, patent nonsense, or gibberish
 * Advertising or other spam without relevant content (but not an article about an advertising-related subject)
 * Content forks (unless a merger or redirect is appropriate)
 * Articles that cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources, including neologisms, original theories and conclusions, and articles that are themselves hoaxes (but not articles describing notable hoaxes)
 * Articles for which thorough attempts to find reliable sources to verify them have failed
 * Articles whose subjects fail to meet the relevant notability guideline (WP:N, WP:BIO, WP:MUSIC, WP:CORP and so forth)
 * Articles that breach Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons
 * Redundant or otherwise useless templates
 * Categories representing overcategorization
 * Files that are unused, obsolete, or violate the Non-free policy
 * Any other use of the article, template, project, or user namespace that is contrary to the established separate policy for that namespace.
 * Any other content not suitable for an encyclopedia

 * Restrict sentence length to no more than 20 words (procedural sentences) or 25 words (descriptive sentences)
 * Restrict paragraphs to no more than 6 sentences
 * Avoid slang and jargon
 * Make instructions as specific as possible
 * Use articles such as "a/an" and "the" wherever possible
 * Use simple verb tenses (past, present, and future)
 * Use active voice
 * Not use -ing participles or gerunds (unless part of a technical name)
 * Write sequential steps as separate sentences
 * Put conditions first in warnings and cautions

My file
I actually don't want to make the file public right now (don't want it used just yet). I am not a PhD scientist (yet at least) or anything, I just made it for fun (sorta) originally. Do you mind if I email it to you instead?--Yalens (talk) 01:44, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, I have uploaded it, it is available at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Edited_Distribution_Haplogroup_J2_Y-DNA.png. As you can see, I based it off the older wiki file and did not totally blot out the 10% and 20% marks of the earlier file. But I tried my best to represent what I saw in the releases (Battaglia '08, Balanovsky '11, many of Nasidze's, Yunusbaev '06, Wells '01, Semino '05, Perichich, Abu-Amero, etc...). As you can see it is still a work in progress. --Yalens (talk) 01:49, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, after thinking it over, I have decided to delete it. I am only an amateur in genetics. I think I should only reproduce what sources say and that's it. I didn't cite my sources properly (I don't even remember some of them at this point), and I just don't think its appropriate for me to post maps that could end up being used here and there without me even knowing about it. So I'm going to delete it. Sorry about this. Hope you got a look at it before I deleted- if you didn't and you really want to see it, I can email it to you. Sorry again. --Yalens (talk) 02:07, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

I got it. It needs work and I do not know your methodology. Tofanelli used online software from Hawaii an just tossed in some Lat/Long that is totally without individualization. He then put it in his paper and said he'd tell you how he does it if you email him. The supplemental data is on his  My thought is you should have a list of birth places that go with the data rather than just tagging 184 men, of which 18 may be J1 in Kazakhstan. Then he lets the software spread it out so it looks more meaningful than it is. What the software does with a 1000 points of measurement for weather, he lets it do with 30-40 points from collection points of swabs whole populations. As you may have guessed, I am not impressed with his methodology. JohnLloydScharf (talk) 03:47, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
