The article Rita Bouboulidi has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

The article Peter Skolnick has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

All biographical articles should contain sources

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. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Tinton5 (talk) 02:22, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Arnold Skolnick

[edit]

I have added a variety of templates to the Arnold Skolnick article. I considered copy-editing it to remove all unsubstantiated claims, leaving only the disinterested, but what would remain would be a mere stub, and requesting inline cites would mean adding a request to virtually every sentence and clause.… the whole article is pure promotional aggrandizing flannel. Now, what is written may or may not be true, however, encyclopedic style dictates that claims and opinions have to be substantiated with links to primary and independent sources.

Please consider re-writing the article, also removing its editorializing and hyperbolic aspect, ( Wikipedia:Manual of Style (words to watch) ), with phrases and words such as: most “widely” known… “highly” competitive… And “unfortunately”… is “arguably” the most famous piece… this “legendary” artist's… father “carefully” cut… the “entirely” original… Others “absurdly” have… a “peaceful” 3 days… “legendary” artistic ability… Skolnick's “beautiful” drawings…

This hyperbole doesn’t aggrandize Skolnick; the show of blatant promotion appears as a desperation to impress, and in a Wiki article it diminishes him. I say all this because I believe him to be notable. Acabashi (talk) 01:58, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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 D.S. Fine 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.

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, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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.
