Deletion discussion about The Danger of a Single Story
Hello, ScholarGirl101

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Meatsgains and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, The Danger of a Single Story, should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Articles for deletion/The Danger of a Single Story.

You might like to note that such discussions usually run for seven days and are not ballot-polls. And, our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with. And, don't forget to sign your reply with. Thanks!

Copyright/plagiarism
Hi, I received notice that you'd copied material from external sources such as this one to Wikipedia. This is seen as a copyright issue and plagiarism, even if you were to include the original source as a citation. Always be careful when writing article content - a good way to avoid doing this is to take notes while reading and write your article from those notes.

Unless the material is explicitly marked as falling into the public domain or was released under a compatible Creative Commons license, it should be assumed that the content is copyrighted in a way that would prohibit it from being used verbatim elsewhere. It's always best to write things in your own words, as this can help prevent issues like this from arising. I would like for you to review the module on plagiarism and copyright, thanks.

 * Also, I have some notes about the draft other than the note about plagiarism. The first is that Wikipedia cannot be used to source itself, as anyone can edit the site. The other sources look to be entirely primary, which means that they cannot establish notability. Keep in mind that the talk is not automatically notable because the speaker or TEDX is notable - you need to be able to show where there are independent and reliable sources that discuss the talk in-depth. This is honestly kind of rare, as most TED Talks tend to be fairly overlooked as far as coverage goes.
 * Now when it comes to views, views by themselves do not establish notability for something. It can make it more likely that coverage exists, but is not a guarantee of coverage in and of itself. In the case of TED talks, it's more common for them to be covered in the main article for the speaker than for its own article. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 02:06, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on The Danger of a Single Story requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.
