No. Why? Is there a problem with my edit? AvidTyper (talk) 02:17, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that answer. I am impressed with your quick grasp of wiki markup! Alexbrn (talk) 02:23, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I'm getting the hang of it. Did I mess anything up? AvidTyper (talk) 02:29, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not that I noticed. Alexbrn (talk) 02:32, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Centre for Bacterial Cell Biology

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 Centre for Bacterial Cell Biology, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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 deleted 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. 🌀Locomotive207-talk🌀 14:22, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You asked me to llok. I do not think it was a valid deletion as advertising, for it was just a mere notice. But we almost never make pages for research institutes within a university unless they are actually world famous, and I see no evidence that this one is. It seems to be a part of the Institute for Cell and Molecular Biosciences, about which we do not have an article, though we conceivably might. (or is this just a renaming?) In any case, you need to write a god deal more to show it. You can start in draft space, but not again in main space. Before you even do that, make sure that you have references from substantial 3rd party reliable published sources, not press releases or blogs or postings that is is indeed one of the two or three major microbiological labs in the world. It can't be implied, there have to be sources saying so. The statement in the original article "world’s first major research centre with a focus on bacterial cell" sounds to me that a truly extraordinary claim that would need exceptional sources. (I interpret this as an attempt to make a distinction from such closely related famous centers which have a somewhat broader scope, like the Intitut Pasteur or Rockefeller or Karolinska. )

from the evidence, the research institute of which is is apparently only a part has only 2 notable faculty members with articles in WP. Jeffery Errington FRS. and Tracy Palmer FRS; but there are 7 other professors there who are probably notable , though we do not yet have articles: Colin Harwood, Brendan Kenny, Jeremy Lakey, Rick Lewis, Heath Murray, Bert van den Berg, Waldemar Vollmer, and it is possible that some of the lecturers might be also. I can not immediately tell which of them are also members of this Centre. But in any case, it would be possible to make articles on them. I am not sure you could yet adequately do so, doing full justice to their notability and taking proper account of our guidelines. The article you did make, Simon Wain-Hobson. is acceptable, though minimal: it doesn't even list his major papers, or the dates of his degrees, or give direct references to his prizes. Though you are technically able to do bios in mainspace, I do not think that you should: use draft, and notify me. But first complete the one on Wain-Hobson DGG ( talk ) 06:59, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I will create drafts on our professors. The Centre for Bacterial Cell Biology is based in the Institute for Cell and Molecular Biosciences. I can create a draft on the Institute too, but our Centre has its own facilities and is renowned for its international working groups and collaboration with public institutions.

DGG please can you check if Simon Wain-Hobson is up to Wikipedia's standards? AvidTyper (talk) 15:27, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You now need to add: first, the basic biographical information such as birthyear and birthdplace, then complete the full sequence of degrees and professional positions in chronological order, with dates. For the PhD, add the title of the thesis and the name of the advisor.; for the postdoc, the name ofthe advisor. If they have WP articles, link them. Add the 5 or so most cited peer-reviewed articles, given in full with coauthors, full name of journals, and links, with the number of citations to each of them from Google Scholar of Scopus or ISI; add a reference for each award- and outside position,. List any positions of editor-in-chief ; . Cite all references showing the authors, title, website name, and date, as well as the link; best way is to use the Cite journal or Cite web templates--seeWP:REFBEGIN . And claims of. "first" need a third party reference from a reliable published source. DGG ( talk ) 20:26, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
