editInappropriate prod tag--look at the dates for his career--pre-Google. More appropriate tag added.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by DGG (talk • contribs) 20:32, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
- Point taken but given his claimed fame, I'd expect him to be seen a lot more in Google than he is. I think a deletion tag is warranted. If not PROD, AfD? Gillyweed 21:54, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
I have received a "deletion warning".
editToday, I have received a deletion warning regarding this article on my talk page. It says that if I do not make changes to correctly stress notability, that this article may be deleted in 1-2 days. Interestingly enough, there is currently no tag for speedy deletion or article for deletion on the page.
First of all, I do not work well under deadlines (i.e. "1-2 days"). Second, this article was changed radically from when I first created it, featuring text which appears to me to be from a source which I have no access to. Whoever has decided to commandeer this article has more ability to make this article codeworthy than me, so I am writing this message to inform everyone reading this, in case anyone feels capable of saving this article. Without this message, this article will probably disappear without anyone with an interest in this subject matter being aware of it. Good luck. Siyavash 21:02, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Encyclopaedia of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh
editIt has been discovered that this book:
- Gupta, Om. Encyclopaedia of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Gyan Publishing House, 2006. ISBN 8182053897, 9788182053892.
Contains significant amounts of material plagiarized from Wikipedia articles. (Some other books from the same publisher also have this problem). There is no practical way of determining which material came from Wikipedia, and which came from other sources. Further, widespread plagiarism is an indication of poor scholarship. For those reasons, and according to Wikipedia policy, WP:CIRCULAR, I will deleting all citations to the book. However I will not delete the material that cites it, as there's no indication that the material is inaccurate. For more background, see WP:RSN#Circular references: Gyan Publishing and ISHA Books, or the archive after it goes there. Will Beback talk 23:03, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
