Osaka University Faculty of Medicine

Please do not make new articles without the basic "significant coverage in reliable sources".

I'm quite sure "Osaka University Faculty of Medicine" would meet the requirements; however, please don't start an article if it isn't verifiable.

Please read WP:FIRST.

If you keep creating articles that do not meet requirements (WP:GNG), then the articles may be deleted and, your account might be blocked..

Please consider using the article wizard to start new articles, so that others can check if it meets the requirements.

Thanks,  Chzz  ►  04:04, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Osaka University Faculty of Medicine

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 Osaka University Faculty of Medicine requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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.  Chzz  ►  04:05, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

October 2011

Please stop creating articles about organizations which don't show notability. If you continue to introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. If you need guidance on how to create appropriate pages, try using the Article Wizard.  Chzz  ►  04:23, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi Chzz! Thank you for stopping by. Let me clarify some points regarding this issue. First of all, I believe it's worth stating that I'm not a newbie at Wikipedia. I am a bureaucrat and admin myself at the Kazakh wiki which has around 90000 articles. Concerning the notability of the subject of my articles, Osaka University is the largest public college in Japan. What I am trying to do is to create some initial content before I open a portal to promote Osaka University at Wikipedia. I couldn't help to notice for example, that University of Michigan (a comparable in size with the Osaka University) has an article for each of its schools. Why can't I create articles for one the biggest universities in Japan then. I don't think there is any question about the notability of the subject here. Looking forward to your understanding. GaiJin (talk) 04:47, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

Make the article 'valid' - ie, meet WP:VRS - before making it live; that's all. And yes...there are lots of 'bad' articles in existence, but that won't help your 'case' - WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS.

Don't make an article 'live' until it is ready. Make a draft; that's easy; e.g. WP:USERSPACEDRAFT.

When it has enough reliable sources to show notability, then move it to a live article.

Standards on other wikis are different, but that doesn't matter.

You cannot make a live article on enwiki unless it meets basic requirements - from the first minute you make it; otherwise, it is in danger of deletion.

New articles are checked - quickly. That's how it works here.  Chzz  ►  04:52, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

About your project

Hi GaiJin san. I can join your project if you want. But I'm not an alumna from Osaka University, so I cannot provide any insider's information (but I can translate japanese articles related to Osaka University). If you don't mind about it, that's absolutely fine for me to enrich its article together. Silver edu (talk) 21:41, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Sorry about my slow response. OK, I will join ur project. But I'm a bit busy right now, so please don't expect a lot about my contribution.(but i will do my best for u) Silver edu (talk) 23:39, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
