Proposed deletion of Self-employment for people with disabilities (UK)


The article Self-employment for people with disabilities (UK) has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * essay / how-to guide

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.

Further to my response there (since I didn't want to take up too much space): getting researchers involved in editing Wikipedia is a commendable goal. If you or any of the research scientists you want to invite need a hand getting to grips with how Wikipedia works (it can be a steep learning curve in the beginning), I would be more than happy to help; please let them know they can leave me a message at any point if they run into something or need some Wikipedia-related advice (the same offer holds for you as well, naturally!). I wish you the best of luck with your endeavours. Yunshui 雲&zwj;水 11:00, 12 October 2012 (UTC) Thanks Yunshui! Open Research (talk) 11:20, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

Note from Crisco: *So long as the article is referenced to reliable third party sources, is written neutrally, and the person passes this guideline. I've written several myself, including Mely G. Tan and Leo Suryadinata. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:00, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

 HI Jennifer, you were on the self-employed pages, would you like to help me with them next week?? (I'm away this weekend) and maybe we could make the page a bit more sensible.
