Copyvios - a tip
[edit]When you mark something a copyvio - say so in the edit summary! Otherwise it looks like a vandal page blanking :-) Dan100 (Talk) 18:23, August 4, 2005 (UTC)
Context/VfD
[edit]I didn't know enough to judge notability (and I'm reluctant to call a person non-notable — there are too many person-deletionists around already). Asking for significance is a way of getting more information. If nothing is forthcoming, then I'm sure that eventually someone will put them up for VfD.
By the way, if you link titles in messages, the articles can more easily be checked. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 11:51, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
Re: Nick Diliani
[edit]Can you please help me by pointing to those elements of Nick's life that assert clearly his notability? And can you further help me with some evidence that he meets 'any' of the tests at WP:BIO? Thanks --Silver149 09:58, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
- Hi Silver. I would consider the following sentences to be assertions of notability:
- "Through considerable application and effort Nick had risen to fifth in his class, an achievement he attributed to his talent for mathematics and languages."
- "He passed out third in his class and received his commission in April, 1916."
- "By this time, Nick, has made a name for himself as he wrote numerous essays and drafts on politcs of population growth and modern economics due to his release."
- "By the time war world 1 has been on going in Europe in 1914, Nick Diliani has bacame an active member for the U.S. embacy in Israel. And with his popular Campaign for Peace and Democracy, Dick Diliani got involved in gathering over 400,000 (and growing) signatures of Palestinians and Israelis who support a set of principles for peace drafted by Sarin Nusaibeh and Amit Adalon."
- Note that (at this time) I do not object to deleting this article. I do object to speedily deleting it. The WP:CSD is meant to be narrowly construed. The subject doesn't need to be notable to be inelligible for speedy deletion -- the article simply needs to assert notability. This article makes several assertions of notability which are best judged through the WP:VfD process. Pburka 14:06, August 6, 2005 (UTC)
