Speedy deletion of Marcus Kaiser
A tag has been placed on Marcus Kaiser requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, 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. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

COI
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam); and,
 * 4) avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 23:54, 25 January 2009 (UTC)


 * assuming you become notable at some point, please allow someone who considers you to be notable to create the article. Wikipedia is not to set out your professional stall Fiddle Faddle (talk) 23:54, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 00:11, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Please stop removing speedy deletion notices from pages that you have created yourself. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Ironholds (talk) 00:39, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Deletion discussion for Marcus Kaiser article
Mkaiser241, I encourage you to participate in the deletion discussion of your article. I also suggest that you reduce the self-promotional tone of the article. The way it is written right now, the article is a magnet for deletion requests. A more appropriate format would be a stub, with links to news articles and outside pubs. A biographical Wikipedia article is not a CV, and scientific topics are better discussed in other articles (on each topic). And, yes, you ARE entitled to participate in a deletion discussion regarding an article for which you are the author AND subject. I suggest you are honest about your identity, and avoid a self-promoting tone in that discussion. We need a clarification there regarding your leadership in the research project that led to the Trends in Cognitive Sciences article; a clarification that you may be able to provide. Best regards.--Eric Yurken (talk) 16:49, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
