Saeed Zeinali

Hello Ea2206,

It seems to me that an article you worked on, Saeed Zeinali, may have something copied from http://emptyseatcampaign.wordpress.com/2012/10/29/saeed-zeinali-22-a-tehran-university-computer-science-graduate-was-arrested-a/. It's entirely possible that I made a mistake, but I wanted to let you know because Wikipedia is strict about copying from other sites.

It's important that you edit the article and rewrite it in your own words, unless you're absolutely certain nothing in it is copied. If you're not sure how to fix the problem or have any questions, there are people at the help desk who are happy to assist you.

Thank you for helping build a free encyclopedia! MadmanBot (talk) 04:32, 21 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Saeed Zeinali

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 Saeed Zeinali 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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, you can place a request here. Dusti*Let's talk!* 05:01, 21 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Saeed Zeinali

edit
 

The article Saeed Zeinali has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No adequate sources for notability

While all constructive 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

As far as I can tell the BBC Persian source is the only substantial RS. You should add it to the article. WP accepts sources in any language. Add a translation of at least the headline. The G translate of the rest of the article is not easy to decipher. DGG ( talk ) 22:08, 23 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
