Edward Chang
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Edward Chang, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://infolab.stanford.edu/%7Eechang/bio-short.html.

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) 04:55, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Edward Chang


A tag has been placed on Edward Chang requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://infolab.stanford.edu/%7Eechang/bio-short.html. 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 or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — 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 or image 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 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. Wgolf (talk) 04:58, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Copyright and notability
Hey, I had to delete the article because it was still a copyright infringement. The problem with you posting the e-mail exchange is that this still wouldn't establish that you had permission to use the content. The only way to do that is to file a ticket through WP:ORTS that gives up the content as fair use. You may have to get Chang himself to file this ticket. Even then, it's usually better to just re-write the content from scratch as opposed to using something that he posted in his staff bio or on Linkedin, since in many cases the original material may contain phrases or words that could be considered promotional in tone.

The other issue was notability to a certain extent. While you claim that he has done a lot of things, you didn't really provide any sources to show how he passes notability guidelines on Wikipedia. I'll be the first to admit that these guidelines are very, very strict and most people- even people who seem like they should pass- do not pass the necessary criteria. Just being part of a notable corporation or university does not automatically give notability, so you will need coverage that is independent of Chang or anyone/anything affiliated with him. (See WP:RS, WP:PRIMARY) An example of what you would need would be say, newspaper articles that mention Chang and go into depth about his accomplishments. Textbooks that also mention him but are not written by him or one of his affiliates or released via his university's publishing arm would also help show notability. Coverage does not have to be in English, so if there are foreign language newspapers or textbooks that mention him, those can be used.

I'd probably recommend that you work on this article in WP:AfC first and then go from there. Showing notability for individual people can be pretty hard, especially if the person's accomplishments aren't the type of things that you see in the headlines. (It would be nice if the newspapers would cover people like him rather than say, Kim Kardashian or other celebrities.) You may want to get one of the applicable WikiProjects to help you with looking for sources and writing the article. Since Chang worked with Google, WikiProject Google would be a good place to start.
