Speedy deletion nomination of Notable Women of ETSU


A tag has been placed on Notable Women of ETSU requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.etsu.edu/cas/litlang/wsp/notable.php. 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 or other printed material 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 "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.

Status and Advice
As reviewing administrator, I did not delete the article. With your revisions, the article is no longer a copyvio. However, I have removed "Notable women of ETSU" from the lead paragraph. An in-campus award does not contribute to notability, and is usually not even worth mentioning. See WP:PROF for our rules on notability-- what is needed is either a listing of reviews of your books, or a list of your 3 or 4 most cited papers, with links to the citation figures. O also call your attention to WP:COI. Please make any necessary declaration.  DGG ( talk ) 18:33, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Okay, i can provide citation figures via google scholar. can i list that in a reference? and book reviews, i'll look for. thanks for taking the time to explain this to me. it's okay if you delete the notable page, as i've included at as a subheading on the main etsu wikipedia entry.
