Speedy deletion nomination of Brain Drain versus Brain Circulation

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Brain Drain versus Brain Circulation 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 Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia: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.

Proposed deletion of Bangura's Vulture Paradigm

Hello, Akbangura, and thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia!

I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you worked on, Bangura's Vulture Paradigm, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

edit the page
remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
save the page

It helps to explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the Help Desk. Thanks again for contributing! andy (talk) 14:11, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Dialogic Theories

The article Dialogic Theories has been proposed for deletion. The proposed-deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. andy (talk) 14:13, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirection of Vulture Paradigm

Hello. This is just to let you know that I have redirected Vulture Paradigm to Bangura's Vulture Paradigm. They both of course have the same problems. If you can fix these problems then there will be no issue with the article remaining in Wikipedia. You should read the wikipedia policies and guidelines that are referred to in the deletion notice at Bangura's Vulture Paradigm. andy (talk) 16:02, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Dialogic theory. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Dialogue. 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 Dialogue - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

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. 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. Sparthorse (talk) 08:19, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

November 2011

There are various problems with your editing. The main one is that you are clearly attempting to use Wikipedia to publish original work. However, Wikipedia's policy is that Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought. In order to qualify as the subject of a Wikipedia article, a topic must have already received substantial coverage in reliable sources.

Wikipedia is not a medium for advertising, promoting, or publicising anything, including ideas.

Please do not create multiple copies of the same article, nor new articles on the same subject as existing articles.

You have been given links to instructions on donating copyrighted materials and related issues. We have guidelines and policies on this for good reasons. We cannot take the unsupported word of anyone who creates a Wikipedia account that they own copyright. (However, I do not recommend spending time and effort in releasing copyright, as the material will be deleted anyway for other reasons.

Speedy deletion nomination of Vulture Paradigm

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Vulture Paradigm, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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. 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. andy (talk) 07:56, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For reference - the page was not deleted because Andy has a problem with it. It was deleted because it was a repost of the same article that was deleted earlier today after completing a deletion discussion where other editors decided the topic was not worthy of inclusion. Since it seemed one of the main objections is that it was original research, there may be no way for Andy or others to 'just fix it'. Regards, Syrthiss (talk) 13:16, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, as you did at Vulture Paradigm, you may be blocked from editing.

Proposed deletion of Nabuderian Pluridisciplinary Methodology

Hello, Akbangura, and thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia!

I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you worked on, Nabuderian Pluridisciplinary Methodology, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

edit the page
remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
save the page

It helps to explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the Help Desk. Thanks again for contributing! ... discospinster _talk 00:27, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Final warning!

This is your last warning. The next time you create an inappropriate page, as you did at Nabuderian Pluridisciplinary Methodology, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. You have been very clearly warned about creating articles that are derived primarily from your own research. You know that this is contrary to wikipedia's policies and yet you keep on doing it. This is your FINAL warning. If you wish to contribute to wikipedia you must learn the rules and follow them andy (talk) 00:45, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Note - this warning coincided with your removal of the deletion notice on the article, so I've reinstated it to give you a further chance to correct the issues with the article. If you want to remove the {{prod}} notice again it's up to you, but you have been warned of the possible consequences. andy (talk) 00:52, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Andy, the rule (#2)states that one can remove the {prod....} after making a change. You good folk may want to state in the rules that it should not be removed. Also, what is wrong with using one's research to discuss another person's very important thoughts? How can one write anything about an idea or a thinker without doing research? This is really confusing.

Am I misreading this policy, which I followed? "You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page."

Proposed deletion of Diop’s Intercultural Relations Methodology

The article Diop’s Intercultural Relations Methodology has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

There are no relevant ghits for "Intercultural Relations Methodology", so although Diop may have spoken about the subject he does not seem to have done so in the context of a formal "methodology" as implied in the article's title

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. andy (talk) 01:03, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
