How to write articles that won't be rejected or deleted

[edit]

(Part of a larger guide on various issues new users face).

If you're going to write an article about anyone or anything that is not you or something you are connected to, here are the steps you should follow:

1) Choose a topic whose notability is attested by discussions of it in several reliable independent sources.
2) Gather as many professionally-published mainstream academic or journalistic sources you can find. Google Books is a good resource for this. Also, while search engine results are not sources, they are where you can find sources. Just remember that they need to be professionally-published mainstream academic or journalistic sources.
3) Focus on just the ones that are not dependent upon or affiliated with the subject, but still specifically about the subject and providing in-depth coverage (not passing mentions). If you do not have at least three such sources, the subject is not yet notable and trying to write an article at this point will only fail.
4) Summarize those sources left after step 3, adding citations at the end of them. You'll want to do this in a program with little/no formatting, like Microsoft Notepad or Notepad++, and not in something like Microsoft Word or LibreOffice Writer. Make sure this summary is just bare statement of facts, phrased in a way that even someone who hates the subject can agree with.
5) Combine overlapping summaries where possible (without arriving at new statements that no individual source supports), repeating citations as needed.
6) Paraphrase the whole thing just to be extra sure you've avoided any copyright violations or plagiarism.
7) Use the Article wizard to post this draft and wait for approval.
8) Expand the article using sources you put aside in step 3 (but make sure they don't make up more than half the sources for the article, and make sure that affiliated sources don't make up more than half of that).

Doing something besides those steps typically results in the article not being approved, or even in its deletion.

If you are writing about yourself, or someone or something you are connected with (such as a friend, family member, or your business), the following steps are different:

0) If the subject really was notable, you wouldn't need to write the article. Remember that articles are owned by the Wikipedia community as a whole, not the article subject or the article author. If you do not want other people to write about you, then starting an article about yourself is a bad idea.
8a) If the article is accepted, never edit it again. Instead, make edit requests on the article's talk page.
8b) If the article is rejected, there will be a reason given. Read it carefully and closely. If there are links in the reason, open them and read those pages.

@Ian.thomson:, Thank you for such a fantastic response. You just simplified all the policy jargon in simple words I could understand in no time. However, I am still struggling to get my head around 8a? Could you kindly elaborate? Earthianyogi (talk) 09:22, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That's if you're writing about yourself, or someone or something you are connected with (such as a friend, family member, or business) -- in other words, if you have a conflict of interest. In that case, once you finish 7, wait until it's approved. If it's not approved, see 8a (read the reason for rejection and try to fix those problems if possible). Once/if the article is approved and moved from draft space into article space, you should not edit it directly and should ignore step 8 in the regular directions. Instead, you go to the article's talk page, and make a post starting with "{{request edit}}" followed with "please add the following material to the article" along with the material you would have added in step 8. That way, another editor without a conflict of interest will either carry out the edits or else explain how to what problems prevent them from being carried out in their current form.

Control copyright icon Hello Earthianyogi, and welcome to Wikipedia. While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

  • You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
  • Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
  • Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 14:49, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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 Nuclear Medicine Communications, 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. Randykitty (talk) 09:18, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]


Hi Randykitty, I see that you have added a speedy deletion tag to this page. I have removed advert material from Nuclear medicine communication after reading some content written by yourself as well. You appear to be a very experienced editor. Could you suggest improvements so that the page is not deleted? Thx Earthianyogi (talk) 10:15, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please let me know why is this not enough? Thanks Earthianyogi (talk) 10:17, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Earthianyogi A large part of the article is a list and it just seems to be a resume, not a notable biographical subject. Eternal Shadow Talk 14:55, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Eternal Shadow, Did you read these guidelines WP:NACADEMIC or WP:PROF. It is a notable biographical subject. I think you may be missing something. Earthianyogi (talk) 14:59, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Earthianyogi Yes, and it fails criteria 2 of WP:NACADEMIC The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level. I didn’t see any major sources showing this. Eternal Shadow Talk 15:06, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Eternal Shadow, what about other criteria from 1 to 8? Did you read those? "Academics meeting any one of the following conditions, as substantiated through reliable sources, are notable." Earthianyogi (talk) 15:12, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Earthianyogi, yes I’m familiar with them (which is a requirement to be an AfC reviewer). Eternal Shadow Talk 15:15, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Also, It fails most of the rest of the criteria as well. Please reread WP:NACADEMIC. Eternal Shadow Talk 15:17, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Eternal Shadow, How does the following fails most of the criteria? Please elaborate.

1. The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources. --She has 7 patents, published more than 162 scientific documents with 2487 citations, and an h-index of 26

2. The person has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association (e.g., a National Academy of Sciences or the Royal Society) or a fellow of a major scholarly society which reserves fellow status as a highly selective honor (e.g., Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers). --Fellow of Academy of Dental Materials (FADM). --Chair: Royal Society of Chemistry: Biomaterials Chemistry interest group.

3. The person's academic work has made a significant impact in the area of higher education, affecting a substantial number of academic institutions. --She has published more than 162 scientific documents with 2487 citations, and an h-index of 26

4. The person has held a named chair appointment or distinguished professor appointment at a major institution of higher education and research, or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon. --She is a Professor at King's Collge London.

5. The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society. --Ex-president: UK Society of Biomaterials. --Secretary: UK Society for Biomaterials.

6. The person has been the head or chief editor of a major, well-established academic journal in their subject area. --She is an editor to various scientific national and international journals, for example, Journal of Biomaterials Application (Associate editor), Journal of Tissue Science & Engineering (Associate editor), and Journal of the American Ceramic Society (Guest editor).

The best way to get an article accepted through AfC is by sourcing every sentence with a citation from a reliable source and expanding the article so that the sourcing is adequate.

Your articles on academics

[edit]

Many/most of the articles you have created about academics suffer the same weaknesses at the one for Rhodes. Even though most have been accepted, in my opinion they do not confirm notability, and if I was in a mean mood I would nominate all of them for deletion. How much a professor was awarded in grants, how many grad student degrees they oversaw, their articles being cited - none of that conveys notability. Academics doing what is expected of academics is not Wikipedia notability. David notMD (talk) 22:13, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:David notMD, but I was suggested to add citation by other reviewers (WP:PROF: "The most typical way of satisfying Criterion 1 is to show that the academic has been an author of highly cited academic work – either several extremely highly cited scholarly publications or a substantial number of scholarly publications with significant citation rates. Reviews of the person's work, published in selective academic publications, can be considered together with ordinary citations here. Differences in typical citation and publication rates and in publication conventions between different academic disciplines should be taken into account. "), also they meet the awards criteria, and edited many books, or chief-editors as explained in the WP:PROF and WP:BIO. Also, I have seen many articles on Wiki, which are much weaker than these I have created. Should I start nominating these for deletion? How can I do that? Also, to be Wiki notable, do people need to do what is not expected of them - isn't this odd? Earthianyogi (talk) 22:20, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Anyone in academia should be focused upon being a good academic. That an encyclopedia writes about them should not be their goal. You might be misled by folks like Eppstein who are inclusionists: they tend to see notability in broad terms. However, those of us that read the criteria more strictly don't see it that way. Some of this is subjective. Some admins even choose to keep articles ignoring what our guidelines say. You won't always get a single answer on these questions. Please also avoid making a WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS argument. Chris Troutman (talk) 14:15, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think I did like it when you said, "Wikipedia hasn't determined if 300 is high impact. We don't have objective numbers. Maybe that's a lot; maybe it's not. Maybe it varies by field. I don't know. Ultimately, you think the subject is notable and you refuse to admit that N:PROF doesn't support your claim" and that is why I pinged you earlier.

I have been discussing the ideas with others on the notability's talk page, and feel that maybe I can present a slightly less biased view of the two sides, which I will as soon as I get time.

Also, concerning Kawal's draft, I found a few media-articles talking about him, which I have referenced within the article. Please note that I do not care if the article gets in or not, but I struggle with situations when an article appears to meets the criteria, but I am told that it does not.

IN regards to WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS, I am not saying that include this article on the basis that other non-sense exits on Wiki. On the contrary, I am saying, if this draft is non-sense, it should go, and so do the other articles that are one-liners, and not satisfy the Wiki notability criteria.

I hope you read David notMD ideas, which I beg to differ with, as the other people meet the awards criteria, or the chief-editor criteria, or edited books that are used in university criteria within WP:PROF. If you negate the whole WP:PROF guidelines itself, then I am left with nothing to talk. Earthianyogi (talk) 14:34, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, let me clarify that i my opinion, Earthianyogi, your view is generally in accord with long standing and consistent consensus here. Every few years, there's an attempt to deprecate WP:PROF, by those who either consider GNG policy without exceptions --a view repeatedly rejected by the community -- or who do not realize WP:PROF has a different status than some of the other Special notability guidelines--It is an alternate to the GNG of equal standing, not just a guide to what might be presumed

That said, it is not wise to submit articles on academic people or on anything else that meet onl the bare minimum. There should be some attempt to do what an encyclopedia is supposed to do, which is to provide information. .One-sentence bios are more suitable for a bigraphical dictionary than an encyclopedia.

I will check other articles and submissions of yours, and also any academic bio articles that have been deleted or declined by some of the other people in the discussion. If any of your work is challenged on these grounds please let me know--if I think the notability is clear enough I will try to help. DGG ( talk ) 06:02, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

H. Ray Dunning

[edit]

Hi! I wanted to take a moment and explain at a little more length why I removed the citation counts from the H. Ray Dunning article. As I said in the edit summary, one reason is that they don't help establish notability in this case. As areas in the humanities tend to have low citation rates, WP:NAUTHOR tends to be more relevant than WP:NPROF. I don't think exact numbers belong anyway, since they're likely to be out-of-date. And the counts were not referenced.

In a case where someone is mainly notable for a few works, and you don't have another assertion to notability in the article, then I'd suggest including in the article text something like "This work has been cited over 100 times", with a citation to their Google Scholar (or in a pinch, to the GS identifier of the article). Note that you're not supposed to include references to searches in Wikipedia articles, but I think looking an article up by ID is ok.

An additional comment on your edits to that article. I'm not sure it adds very much to have a book in the list of books, and also in the references. I'd suggest cutting out the citation there. (As long as you include the ISBN number, the book is self-verifying.) As it's also not doing any harm, though, I left it alone. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 18:09, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Russ Woodroof, Thanks for explaining it in detail. I am fairly new to Wiki and still have a lot to learn. I was about to leave a comment for you. I am interested in the subject but do not understand why this person is notable? Is it the [WP:NAUTHOR#C2]] or [WP:NAUTHOR#C3]]. I mean that a person could write several books, but when can they be considered notable? It may be due to my lack of knowledge in the area of theology. Cheers. Earthianyogi (talk) 18:21, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't !vote keep on this one, but I also didn't vote delete. Generally, WP:NAUTHOR requires multiple reviews on multiple books -- say, 4 reviews, not all on the same book. We've got 2 reviews, plus a "critical response" (which appears much more substantive than a review). So that's a little weak, but since he was working pre-internet, it's likely that we're missing some reviews c theology has 308 worldcat copies , it is in many or most theological seminary libraries and a good number of other medium and academic libraries
  1. The second coming : a Wesleyan approach to the doctrine of last things has 73 holdings, similar mixture
  2. Abraham : the tests of faith , 219 siilar

I conclude he's an important writer of academc books in theology.I consider this enough for notability. DGG ( talk ) 05:49, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
