Speedy deletion nomination of Shearlets


A tag has been placed on Shearlets 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

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 labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". 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 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.

 * You must not copy material into Wikipedia: please read Copy-paste, and for more detail Copyrights. We cannot host copyright material anywhere in Wikipedia, not even in user pages, not even temporarily. JohnCD (talk) 23:02, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

No original research
Having looked at your article and the source, I am afraid that even if the copyright issue were resolved (which would have to be done as explained at WP:Donating copyrighted materials) this may not be suitable for Wikipedia. It seems that this is original work being done by your team at shearlet.org and shearlab.org, but an encyclopedia is not a place to publish original work, and one of Wikipedia's basic policies is No original research. You should read that policy in full, but notice in particular: "'If no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article about it. If you discover something new, Wikipedia is not the place to premiere such a discovery.'" Linked to that is the Notability requirement for article subjects, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by citing references that show "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." The test is, have people unconnected with the subject found it important and significant to write substantial content about?

I do not know whether your group's work has been published and commented on enough to meet these requirements, but I wanted to explain Wikipedia's policies so that you do not waste time preparing submissions that might not be accepted.

You may be able to get advice and help by posting on the talk page of WP:WikiProject Mathematics.

Dear JohnCD,

Thank you very much for your explanation.

I would like to say that our purpose is not to publish our work here. "Shearlets" was invented short after "Curvelets", both of which are generalization of "Wavelets". Our purpose is to introduce a short wiki page of "Shearlets" similar to the wiki page on Curvelet.
