Proposed deletion of Peter Bogaevsky

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

No assertion of notability

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 {{dated prod}} 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 {{dated prod}} 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. <>Multi-Xfer<> (talk) 01:14, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of Peter Bogaevsky

I have nominated Peter Bogaevsky, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Peter Bogaevsky. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. <>Multi-Xfer<> (talk) 00:47, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Haroldjberman3.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Haroldjberman3.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. <>Multi-Xfer<> (talk) 00:51, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:GTunkin.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:GTunkin.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), 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. <>Multi-Xfer<> (talk) 00:53, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Please remember to assume good faith when dealing with other editors, which you did not do on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Peter Bogaevsky. Thank you. Crusio (talk) 13:49, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Avoiding article deletion

I noticed your comments in the (now very safe) Peter Bogaevsky deletion debate, and come here to offer a couple of constrictive tips on getting your articles to stick to wikipedia and avoid deletion challenges.

By way of background, you're probably aware that wikipedia has so-called notability guidelines, which guide the community as to whether articles should be retained or deleted. Some specific article topic areas have more specific guidelines, sich as Wikipedia:Notability (academics). I'm sure you understand the need for such guidelines, to avoid wikipedia becoming the bin for everyone's junk.

So. Practical suggestion number 1: At least until you establish a fuller article, start biographies with a sentence in the format J is an XYZ notable for PQR, where J is your person, XYZ is (probably) his career, and PQR is the reason he is sufficiently notable to have a wikipedia article. Suggestion number 2 is to place the template {{in use}} at the top of the article page whilst you develop the article. It puts a standard form "under construction" message on the article, and etiquette normally is not to delete articles so marked. Of course, {{in use}} should be used for as short a time as possible; ideally notability will be one of your first considerations when adding to wikipedia. thanks --Tagishsimon (talk) 18:45, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
