Mark Turner
A tag has been placed on your article Mark Turner, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be a biographical account about a person, group of people, or band, but it does not indicate how or why he/she/they is/are notable. If you can indicate why Mark Turner is really notable, I advise you to edit the article promptly, and also put a note on Talk:Mark Turner. Any admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles. You might also want to read our general biography criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that admins should wait a while for you to assert his/her/their notability, please affix the template  to the page, and then immediately add such an assertion. It is also a very good idea to add citations from reliable sources in order that your article will be verifiable. PJM 14:53, 14 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Please also check out Wikipedia's Neutral point of view policy. Autobiographical articles are generally frowned upon, as it's difficult to adhere to NPOV when writing about oneself.  However, I don't want this to discourage you from contributing to Wikipedia.  On Wikipedia you have a user page where it's okay to talk about yourself, your research interests, and mention courses that you teach.  Should you choose to contribute to and improve Wikipedia's geophysics-related articles, people will see your good contributions and notice your user page.  See User:William M. Connolley for a good example of someone that's done that.  And in his case, other people came along and wrote a biographical article for him, as well. Surely the geophysics-related articles could use some improvement, and I hope you will help out. -Kmf164 ( talk | contribs ) 15:52, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
