Speedy deletion nomination of Paul Glaister

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 Paul Glaister 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 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. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 19:26, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi, you can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~~~~. I deleted your recent article because

• it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts or show that it meets the notability guidelines for academics. It is now wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references. As a matter of policy, all biographies of living people will be deleted if they do not have references. Although you provided references, one was you own website, and I do not consider your CV at your own university to be acceptable in terms of independence. Erdos numbers may be interesting, but do not show notability, nor does publishing lots of stuff.
• You have an obvious conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about yourself. Thank you for declaring your interest. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that you are notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Wikipedia:Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Wikipedia:Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.

• You are perfectly entitled to try again, all I'm saying is that the article as it stood did not, in my opinion, show how you satisfied the criteria above. All academics publish peer-reviewed papers, but even publishing lots doesn't meet the criteria. Despite appearances, I'm not conducting a vendetta. If you can demonstrate, for example, that you are an acknowledged authority on something non-trivial, that would help. I can only judge what's in the article Jimfbleak - talk to me? 19:58, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

I believe I have addressed the requests of the previous reviewer and then encounter a different reviewer with different views from the first.

January 2016

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Draft: Paul Glaister. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted or removed.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Resubmitting a draft after it was declined, with no changes, is tendentious editing and may lead to a block, or to the draft being deleted. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:51, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Given that one of most prestigious mathematics organisations in the UK with some 31 member national societies Joint Mathematical Council is a wiki page, I cannot understand why the most important person in that organization cannot have a link to his page, in common with other prestigious organisations?

Incidentally the information there isn't correct as not all are included, which they should be - see http://www.jmc.org.uk/council.htm for the full list which I have asked to be updated but another wiki editor has rejected my request that this page be updated so that it is accurate.

The question is: is JMC significant or not? If it is I would argue that it's most senior officer should have a link on this page to his own wiki page.

Many thanks.

Paul

Wikipedia is not the place to write about yourself

Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at Paul Glaister. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.
