Speedy deletion nomination of ILAS Taussky–Todd Prize


A tag has been placed on ILAS Taussky–Todd Prize requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://ilasic.org/taussky-todd-guidelines/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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 deleted 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.

 * Dear @Onel5969, I'm surprised by the repeated deletion of this page after having rewritten it from scratch following previous feedback (the original criticism was that there is a potential copyright infringement). The new version had no significant overlap with material on the ILAS webpage, except of course the list of prize receipients (which is what it is). Can you please explain the rationale behind the speedy deletion? Note that there is a separate page for https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Schneider_Prize_in_Linear_Algebra -- would you also want to delete that? -- Thanks MancMay (talk) 17:36, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
 * What you need to show notability is at least 3 references from independent, reliable, secondary sources which go in-depth about the award. Currently there are none.  Onel 5969  TT me 02:36, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
