Speedy deletion nomination of Mikael Jansson (photographer)


A tag has been placed on Mikael Jansson (photographer), requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages 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 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. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * 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 "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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Ways to improve Mikael Jansson (photographer)
Hi, I'm Mz7. Wandco, thanks for creating Mikael Jansson (photographer)!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. The article's writing style needs to be more dispassionate and less essay-like. Rather than claim in Wikipedia's voice that the women Jansson portrays in his work are "paradoxically strong and vulnerable", we should stick to the facts. It is okay to describe the opinions of others as long as there is in-text attribution (e.g. "This reviewer commented that Jansson's work "portrays women that are paradoxically strong and vulnerable"), but as an encyclopedia, Wikipedia itself should not be supporting a subjective opinion. All information that is likely to be challenged should have a citation to a reliable source, so that the information remains verifiable.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.
