 * Starting an article
 * Your first article
 * Biographies of living persons
 * How to write a great article
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Help pages
 * Tutorial

The reference "Internet Society" given in the page seems to me being more then relevant with regards to my contribution. If such reference is not relevant, I'm wondering if those not accepting such reference does really know who and what Internet Society is. There fore I request the page not being deleted.


 * The article has been nominated for deletion, see formal notice below, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion at Articles for deletion/Rudi Vansnick (2nd nomination). These discussions last, normally, for seven days, after which an uninvolved administrator will decide what to do, based on the arguments advanced in terms of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, not on a count of heads.


 * Wikipedia's admission criterion is called Notability, and is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people independent of the subject thought it significant enough to write substantial comment about? See also WP:42 and WP:Notability (people).


 * I should advise you that Wikipedia is not a place like Myspace or Facebook for people to write about themselves: it is a project to build an encyclopedia and, in order to preserve a neutral point of view, writing about oneself is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained at WP:Autobiography and Conflict of interest.

I'll ask some of my colleagues to confirm the posting, eventually bringing it over to their ownership in order to avoid so called "oneself writing". It is quite easy to post an article (biography) through another identity to avoid such self-nomination for publishing. However, I fully approve the policy of Wikipedia and will as such accept the decisions as they would be taken. Referencing to a Belgian newspaper Le Soir (Le Soir Magazine) I'm the second Belgian Internet pioneer after Robert Caillau. If such reference is considered being of no value, I'm wondering what other value exists on the Internet. Ruudvs 16:26, 18 August 2012 (CET)

Proposed deletion of Rudi vansnick


The article Rudi vansnick has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have 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 tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. WWGB (talk) 11:32, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
