Proposed deletion of Attila Menyhard

edit
 

The article Attila Menyhard has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Csongor István Nagy

edit
 

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 Csongor István Nagy requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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. 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.

Status and Advice

edit

That deletion tag was placed by an inexperienced user; As reviewing administrator, I have removed it. But the article is nonetheless unsatisfactory, because the English Wikipedia does not reprint peoples curriculum vitae.

Be aware you will need to rewrite the articles to Wikipedia style; a good place to start learning it is our guide to writing Wikipedia articles .

First, give the basic information--the source should be the CV-- birthplace and date, degrees, previous positions. If there are published books, list them in formal bibliographic style. List the 3 or 4 most influential articles similarly, getting citation figures from Scopus or Web of Science or Google Scholar, or some other appropriate source. Do not include conference presentations, book chapters, and other minor published work. Such a list needs to be frequently updated, and belongs in the CV, not an encyclopedia.

Include major national level offices and awards, but not minor ones. Be sure to list editorships (but not mere editorial board membership) --we consider it very important, and you should add it to the articles for the relevant journals also, with a link to the bio.

If the person has any notable students who would qualify for Wikipedia bios, include them. Their PhD & postdoctoral advisors probably also qualify for bios here; add them and link them, even if they do not yet have articles.

It is not necessary to cite the basic information in detail to other than the official CV. However, give any actual 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. For any part you quote directly from a published bio, include quotation marks and a reference.

Include only material that would be of interest to a general reader coming across the mention of the subject and wanting the sort of information that would be found in an encyclopedia. Do not include material that would be of interest only to those associated with the subject, or to prospective students--that sort of content is considered promotional.

And keep in mind our criteria for faculty: WP:PROF.

I advise you to fix the problem, and do this very quickly, before the article gets nominated for deletion by a regular deletion process.

If I can help you with any of this, let me know. DGG ( talk ) 18:39, 26 February 2012 (UTC)Reply


@Lovehongkong: I do agree with DGG that your article needs further improvement. I did some reseatch into the significance of the subject and I agree with you that he has both national and international significance; so I removed the notability template.
I also did a bit of a cleanup of the article: I changed the way you used the references. There are several standard guidelines how you should use them. And even though I also don't fully stick to them - I do think that the method I used to use the sources you used is closer to the official guidlines and at least easier to understand and read. But please take DGG's advise and improve the quality of the subject (and also hope that other Wikipedians who share your admiration for the person, are willing to help by contributing to the article
Good luck and hope you will continue to contribute to Wikipedia, Tonkie (talk) 19:54, 26 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
@DGG: Thank you very much for the information and guideline!!! I try to change all the mentioned defects and errors. I am just started to write wikipedia, therefor I am sorry that I muddle.Lovehongkong (talk) 18:44, 27 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
@Tonkie: Thank you for your help and advices!!! I try my best to meet the requirements of wikipedia.Lovehongkong (talk) 18:44, 27 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
@Lovehongkong: thanks for reacting. I hope you will become a regular contributar to Wikipedia. If you want to have any proposed (new) articles checked before publishing them you could write them first on a sub-page of your own userpage (which is so far empty anyway, sondie creating one where you can give some info about yourself and the subjects you are interested in.). But as said: you could write a new article first on a user-subpage and then ask people to have a look at them. I'm always happy to have a look (even if I don't know anything about the subject I can see and check if the article is OK to publish or not) and if it is on a subject of which there are already many pages on Wiki (eg you write an article about a specific science try to find authors of similar articles and contact them to have a look...) Nothing is as frustrating as spending a shitload of time writing an article to find it 5 minutes later tagged for speedy deltion: even if it isn't deleted after that: you still feel shit about it. But when you ask a buddy/mentor to have a look and it is still in a private corner he/she can then give advise on both form and content before publishing it.
