Speedy deletion nomination of Desheng Wu


A tag has been placed on Desheng Wu requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, 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. Under 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 that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.  ttonyb (talk) 17:00, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Why I deleted Desheng Wu
Sorry we had to delete Desheng Wu, but this is a good example of something we are trying to discourage at Wikipedia.

One of the fundamental principles of Wikipedia is to express a Neutral point of view. To accomplish this, we are very concerned about Conflict of interests. This isn't a reflection on you, but we want people who are not connected to the subject matter. Expert input is acceptable, such as input from the subject of a biography, or from people who know the individual personally, but we urge that such editing take place as suggestions on the article talk page, and let other editors decide what to include and how to write it.

In addition, there are technical problems. I didn't delete the article because of your conflict of interest, but because the material is an almost identical copy of material under copyright. Yes, I did read that you have permission. However, the copyright is held by the University of Toronto, not by the webmaster or the author of the words. We do have provisions for Donating copyrighted materials, but that permission would have to come from someone authorized to grant it. Even if that were done, the wording would have to be substantially rewritten, and that should be done by other editors.-- SPhilbrick  T  20:19, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
