User talk:Noremainder

your article
Hey noremainder, welcome. I have added a "" template to the article Phyllis granoff, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, you may want to improve the article to address the issues raised: I thought there was not enough of an assertion of notability, but if she has been mentioned in multiple independent publications such as news sources, she may well qualify under Wikipedia's notability criteria for people. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Another option would be to move the article to your userpage or a subpage of it such as User:noremainder/Phyllis Granoff, since you're more free to do what you want in your own "user space" (this would especially make sense if you are Ms. Granoff!). Sorry to do this to your article which you obviously worked hard on! I hope you can understand wikipedia's need for all articles to be notable, well sourced, and neutral. Leave me a message on my talk page if you have any questions or want to discuss anything. Peace, delldot talk  17:09, 3 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi again, thanks for working to improve the article. My main concerns are that the article is not neutral, i.e. that it sounds too glowing of an assessment of her (e.g. "In addition, she has published more than 70 journal articles on various topics").  Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy is one of the core principles of the encyclopedia, so this is very important to rectify.  Unfortunately, it's going to be difficult to provide a balanced article about her if not much has been written about her in independent publications.  If this is the case, the article will be hard to verify, another core principle of the enyclopedia.  That's why Wikipedia's notability standards exist.  It looked from my reading of the article that the subject does not meet Wikipedia's notability criteria for people, which is partly why I proposed it for deletion.  But I could be wrong.   The best thing you can do to show notability is to cite works that talk specifically about her with more than just trivial mentions (e.g. news articles about her).  So it's good that you added the citation.  It would be good if you could fix the link in that reference, it currently takes me to the JSTOR login page.  If the material isn't available for free, maybe you can find the abstract on the journal's website and link to that.  Did you consider making the page into a subpage of your user page?  I'll keep an eye on the article, but if I feel like it doesn't assert notability more strongly after a while I'll bring it to the deletion discussion forum for the rest of the community to discuss whether to keep it.  By the way, if you want to link to another Wikipedia article, you can put double square brackets around the article's name Like this .  I'm always glad to help if you ever have questions or anything, so don't hesitate to drop me a note.  Peace, delldot  talk  02:23, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Map
The advantage of an svg image is that it can be edited by anyone. If you can get hold of Inkscape, you can make the changes by deleting the nodes off Image:India-states-numbered.svg. If that doesn't help you can contact User:Planemad, who has created simpler maps. Regards, =Nichalp   «Talk»=  15:47, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
