Proposed deletion of Gwendolyn Cartledge


The article Gwendolyn Cartledge has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * New BLP sourced only to the subject's own work; notability therefore unclear.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

AfD Nomination: Edward Gary Carr, Mary Margaret Kerr, and Steven Forness
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but all Wikipedia articles must meet our criteria for inclusion (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Since it does not seem that the above articles meet these criteria, an editor has started a discussion about whether these articles should be kept or deleted.

Your opinion on whether this article meets the inclusion criteria is welcome. Please contribute to the discussion by adding your comments at the respective discussions, links following:


 * Articles for deletion/Mary Margaret Kerr
 * Articles for deletion/Edward Gary Carr
 * Articles for deletion/Steven Forness

Don't forget to add four tildes ( ~ ) at the end of each of your comments to sign them.

Discussions such as these usually last seven days. In the meantime, you are free to edit the content of the article. Please do not remove the "articles for deletion" template (the box at the top). When the discussion has concluded, a neutral third party will consider all comments and decide whether or not to delete the article.  Dennis The Tiger  (Rawr and stuff) 16:12, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

To Whom It Concerns. Thank you for your assistance; however we have concerns regarding your 3 comments listed below. We hope we can clarify by our responses below. So we understand the peacock issue and will work to address more neutral language in our pieces. However we remain confused regarding the issues of formatting, notability and copyrighting. We look forward to hearing how you think we can proceed to assure our articles are approved. Regards.
 * 1) Our material is not copyrighted. We hold the copyright to the Leaders Project and thus can site work from our own website. If needed we can complete the appropriate form to support that fact. However we can not find that form nor do we know where to submit that form. It is important to note that the biographies uploaded to Wikipedia are also uploaded on our personal website which might be where Wikipedia reviewers' confusion arose from.
 * 2) We formatted our articles following Donald Baer's Wikipedia site. Thus we are puzzled with the format and notability comment. As modeled on Baer's site - we not only describe these scholars contribution to the field via publication but also represent their status as full-time professors who are recognized world-wide. More simply, each our articles presents biographical information on top scholars in the field of Emotional and Behavioral Disorders in Children and Youth and/or Special Education. Therefore their notability is established. Also with regard to the reviewers' concerns on format, we not only reviewed "Your first article" but also formatted our articles, inclusive of using the same headers, as an already approved Wikipedia article. Finally it should be noted that Baer's site references his own work, which is why our Leaders Project articles followed the same protocol.
 * 3) As for neutral tone - we can edit our language; however again we wrote these articles in association with how language was presented on Donald Baer's site.

I have removed two "hangon" tags from this page - this is not the place for them, you should place them at the top of the article concerned. Some brief advice, as you seem to be having some trouble with your early articles: If Michael Wallace Nelson is kept, the title can easily be changed to C. Michael Nelson; but it appears that the present version is a copyright violation. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 14:27, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * You must not copy material into Wikipedia unless the appropriate copyright release has been organised, see WP:Copyrights. Assertion of permission is not enough.
 * Wikipedia requires a neutral point of view and a neutral tone - see WP:Avoid peacock terms.
 * In order to establish notability, you need to show "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." See also WP:Notability (people) and WP:Notability (academics).
 * See WP:Your first article for good general advice.

Proposed deletion of Gwendolyn Cartledge


The article Gwendolyn Cartledge has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners or ask at Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Rettetast (talk) 07:25, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of James Kauffman


A tag has been placed on James Kauffman, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It 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. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "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. ɱ (talk) · vbm  · coi) 05:49, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
