Speedy deletion nomination of Diana May-Waldman
A tag has been placed on Diana May-Waldman requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.  ttonyb (talk) 00:56, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Paul A. Toth


The article Paul A. Toth has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Notability not established.

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. Frank |  talk  02:36, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Mark Costello
How do we know that there are two Mark Costello's? And there were two references to Mark Costello in the David Foster Wallace article... do you want to unlink the other? Suspicious that the Wiki article is about a Mark Costello that is a writer, taught at the University of Illinois-Urbana, where Wallace's father taught. Are we confusing generations, is that the problem? 842U (talk) 02:47, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

I know Mark Costello1 personally. If you do some research, you will see that he did not attend college in Boston, but was born and raised, and wrote about living in central Illinois. Mark Costello2, also an author, was Wallace's roommate and was a federal prosecutor, raised in Boston. There is that coincidence about Wallace's father teaching at the University of Illinois, but they are indeed, two different Mark Costellos. Just by appearance alone this can be concluded. Mark Costello1 is the older of the two, attended the University of Iowa Writer's Workshop. Mark Costello2 did not teach at the University of Illinois. LitReviewer2 (talk) 20:32, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Mark Costello2 even mentions Mark Costello1 in an interview at:http://papercuts.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/03/14/stray-questions-for-mark-costello/ (although Mark Costello1 is not from Chicago, but central Illinois) LitReviewer2 (talk) 20:37, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
