Speedy deletion nomination of John Selby: psychologist


A tag has been placed on John Selby: psychologist requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. 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.

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. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: 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 you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

Proposed deletion of Short form meditation


The article Short form meditation has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * neologism with no evidence that it meets the notability criteria for neologisms

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. &mdash; RHaworth 23:32, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Meditation. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. SudoGhost 00:11, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Sourcing
In reviewing some articles I found mentions of John Selby without supporting secondary sources. In the future, whenever editors add text which says something like "Selby says..." or "Selby first introduced the term..." it should be cited to a reliable secondary source. See WP:IRS and WP:V for what qualifies. Also, the source needs to confirm the assertion. For example, if we wanted to write that "Selby worked at XYZ Inc" then it would be insufficient to link to their website unless it actually mentioned Selby. It's a lot like writing a term paper in college. Let me know if you need any help or have questions.  Will Beback   talk    10:08, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
