Proposed deletion of Asghar Rastegar, MD


The article Asghar Rastegar, MD has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp/dated tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. - MrX 12:39, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

The article Asghar Rastegar, MD was written not in the neutral way required for a Wikipedia article, but rather in a way which promoted or extolled its subject. It is therefore likely to be deleted, in accordance with Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, if it is not rewritten soon. I strongly urge you to revisit the page and edit it to make it more neutral in character. My advice to new editors is that it is best to start by making small improvements to existing articles, rather than creating new articles. That way any mistakes you make will be small ones, and you won't have the discouraging experience of repeatedly seeing hours of work deleted. Gradually, you will get to learn how Wikipedia works, and after a while you will know enough about what is acceptable to be able to write whole new articles without fear that they will be deleted. Over the years I have found that editors who start by making small changes to existing articles and work up from there have a far better chance of having a successful time here than those who jump right into creating new articles from the start.

 * I see that you did not take the advice I gave you above to edit the article you created to make it more neutral in character so as to avoid deletion. More importantly, though, Adam9007 discovered that much of the content was copied from another source, in violation of Wikipedia's copyright policy. The article has therefore been deleted. It is scarcely ever acceptable to post content to Wikipedia which has previously been published elsewhere. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 10:19, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
