Speedy deletion nomination of Shoucheng Zhang


A tag has been placed on Shoucheng Zhang 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. red dog six (talk) 02:41, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

As reviewing administrator, I rewrote the copyvio parts of the  article to avoid deletion, since he is highly notable.

It is a basic principle of Wikipedia, that no part of an article can be copied from a web site, even the subject's own web site:   first it's a copyright violation, but, even if you own the copyright and are willing to give us permission according to WP:DCM, the tone will not be encyclopedic and the material will not be suitable.

In this case, there some considerable additional information needed: his degrees, his previous positions; his most cited papers, any notable student.

As a general rule, a suitable page will be best written by someone without Conflict of Interest; it's not impossible to do it properly with a conflict of interest or as a paid press agent, but it's relatively more difficult: you are automatically thinking in terms of what the subject wishes to communicate to the public, but an uninvolved person will think in terms of what the public might wish to know.

If you think you can do it right according to our guidelines, do so, but expect the article to be carefully checked for objectivity.

Your first article was excellent
I am a mathematician who noticed your article on Shoucheng Zhang of Stanford. It is an excellent article, especially as your first one. I was at Stanford eleven years, and more recently had my own group at Caltech, and was at MIT to teach after that. Feel free to ask me if you need any help with understanding Wikipedia in any way. Each editor has a talk page. You can get to it by clicking on the "talk" link after the editor's name, like after mine in this talk page session. PPdd (talk) 04:14, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
