Your contributed article, DeTao Professor Ken Field


Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, DeTao Professor Ken Field. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Ken Field. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Ken Field - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can 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 a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Hairhorn (talk) 17:15, 27 April 2012 (UTC)


 * I would add that lengthy lists of all his Grants & Residencies, Presentation & Teaching Workshops, appearances, recordings etc. etc. are not appropriate for an encyclopedia article, which is not the same thing as a CV. The existing article links to his own website, where all that detail can be found by those interested.


 * I would also ask you to read Copy-paste - Wikipedia cannot accept material copied from elsewhere unless a formal copyright release is made. It is usually better to write in your own words, as material written for other purposes is often unsuitable for an encyclopedia.


 * The links in the Welcome message at the top of this page will tell you more about Wikipedia: the guide to writing WP:Your first article is a useful introduction. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 17:41, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
