Notability of Forest Lee

A tag has been placed on Forest Lee requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Undeath (talk) 13:49, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article Forest Lee has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia.

James Cuff

This is an automated message from VWBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of James Cuff, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://scholar.harvard.edu/jcuff/.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) VWBot (talk) 22:06, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of James Cuff

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 James Cuff requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image 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 or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — 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 or image 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 the page was nominated in error, 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.

Proposed deletion of James Cuff

The article James Cuff has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable manager at an academic institution. Does not appear to publish academically. No independent indepth coverage as required by WP:GNG.

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.

Status and warning

Actually, the article was a copyvio &, As reviewing administrator, I have deleted it as such. Wikipedia does not accept material copied from other websites. This is the second time you've submitted the same thing--do not do it again, or you are very likely to be blocked.

In any case, a Wikipedia article needs to show notability with references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases. The relevant standard are WP:BIO or, alternatively, WP:PROF. If you cannot find sources for meeting one or the other, there's no point writing the article. DGG ( talk ) 22:44, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I see your note on my talk page. If you think you can meet WP:PROF, by all means try again, I agree he is likely to be notable, but I think it will be difficult to prove it. That he is one of the authors on these widely-cited multi-author papers is not by itself enough to show notability: it is very difficult to ascribe the actual role in such projects without some specific evidence. How can we tell if he is the administrator under whom the work was done, the person who wrote the programs, the person who adapted pre-esiting program in a substantial or perhaps just a technical role, or what among a whole range of possibilities?

Just rewrite the article in your own words entirely--looking to see how you will meet the likely objections that running the lab is not itself notable, and the role in the work unproven. It won't be up to me. The best way of avoiding Close paraphrase is to try to change not just the wording, but the sentence structure and the sequence of ideas. Admittedly, in a bio like this some of the wording will be invariable and unavoidable, but change as much as can possibly be changed. Then , at the end look to see if it appears the same, which also matters to the way people will judge it. With respect to notability , the decision will not be up to me.

If you want me to look at what you write, leave me a note immediately when you do DGG ( talk ) 02:12, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Continuing problem: Unless he was the person who conceived and led these projects, it is not quite correct that "Cuff completed the first simultaneous genome analysis of twenty nine mammals[2], the refinement of the human gene count[3], and the first bivalent chromatin structures to be found in embryonic stem cells[4]." He was, rather, a member of the very large groups that did this. The best information about what he actually did seems to be given on his page at the Conte Center: At Sanger, "he built the large scale high performance computing infrastructure to support the Ensembl genome analysis project." I assume he is responsible for the same in his later work at Harvard. Is there a specific author contributions note that clarifies this for the later work? Now, as far as I personally am concerned, I consider him notable, but think on the basis of experience that the community at Wikipedia will not do so unless there is something more specific. You will face the argument: what is the evidence that he is more than a senior technician, given a place on the author list because the technical services developed by his center were used in the project? Rewrite it, and move it to main space if you like, and take your chances. or find some better evidence , and there will be an article that will be kept in Wikipedia.
