User talk:Santosh K. Mehrotra

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * Welcome!
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Speedy deletion nomination of Santosh K. Mehrotra


A tag has been placed on Santosh K. Mehrotra, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It appears to be a clear copyright infringement of http://www.iamrindia.gov.in/_DGProfile.htm. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. &#9790;Loriendrew&#9789;  &#9743;(talk)  22:17, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

Please do not write or add to an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you. &#9790;Loriendrew&#9789;  &#9743;(talk)  22:17, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Santosh K. Mehrotra, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.iamrindia.gov.in/_DGProfile.htm.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 05:17, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

Your 'sources' are not written properly so are not appearing in the References section. They appear to be in-sufficient in any case. See Referencing for beginners. Also see My first article. --220  of  Borg 05:52, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Santosh K. Mehrotra, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic.

Trying to save the article on Santosh Mehrotra
Dear Santosh K. Mehrotra, I have trimmed the article on Santosh Mehrotra and am trying to make one more inaccordance with what I think wikipedia would like. My understanding is that Santosh Mehrotra easily meets Wikipedia's requirments for  academic notability (WP:Prof) but the state of the article was such as to read like a promotional piece and your username indicates that it might be autobiographical. It is not really viewed as being good practice on Wikipedia for people to write about themselves or to have simply promotional articles. This sort of thing leads to some wikipedia regulars getting annoyed and wanting to delete such articles. Anyway you can see the debate about deleting here: Articles for deletion/Santosh Mehrotra. Please ask for help if needed, here, (I will watch this page) or at my talk page. Best wishes, (Msrasnw (talk) 18:47, 9 December 2014 (UTC)) PS: I used to have a copy of Development with a human face - Mehrotra and Jolly.


 * Dear User:Santosh K. Mehrotra, unfortunately despite my efforts the page on Santosh K. Mehrotra failed to survive the deletion debate. This was I think because of what was viewed as the over promotional autobiographic nature of the article as brought to the deletion debate and a failure by contributing editors to reconsider things after I had trimmed it down.


 * User:Stifle is the administrator who deleted it and I raised by concerns with him here User talk:Stifle. I also raised this with another administrator User:David Eppstein who is also an acadmic, and was I think responsible for the deletion of the article, here: User_talk:David_Eppstein. My plan is to work on a new draft here: User:Msrasnw/Afdthings and try again in the medium term if when there is more evidence of notability. Unfortunately thanks to David Eppstein the article has been salted which means only an administrator can redo it. I am very sorry about this but some of the administrators on here are in my view unreasonable and act beyond areas of their competance. I think it would be best to wait a while but if you wish you might ask for advice about this. Feel free to ask here or me on my talk page or Prof Eppstein or Stifle on their talk pages. Formally Deletion review is the place to take dissagreement with the deletion but I think it might be difficult to get a successful outcome their given the people involved.
