Speedy deletion nomination of David Woods (safety researcher)

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 David Woods (safety researcher), 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. PICKLEDICAE🥒 14:11, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

General advice continued from discussion on the talk page... The best way of developing biographies is to find at least two, and preferably three, reliable independent sources that discuss the subject or their works/research in depth. For deceased subjects this is usually obituaries, but it is much less easy for living subjects. Festschrifts on retirement are a possibility, as are academic society biographies of past-presidents, or bios associated with major awards. Book reviews can also be helpful. Then you construct the bulk of the article according to what the sources say. Once you've done that, it is acceptable to flesh out basic education and career milestones with the subject's CV or similar. What you absolutely cannot do is support statements like "pioneered x" "is a leader in y", "discovered z" or the like based on the subject's own papers. Hope this is helpful and good luck!

Practical drift moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Practical drift, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. ~Styyx^Talk? 20:39, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 25

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Jens Rasmussen (human factors expert), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages David Woods and Richard Cook. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
