Every Patient Tells a Story: Medical Mysteries and the Art of Diagnosis moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Every Patient Tells a Story: Medical Mysteries and the Art of Diagnosis, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template atop the page. ... discospinster talk 19:50, 5 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of The Genius Of Marian

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 The Genius Of Marian, 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.

Article cleanup

edit

Hi - I wanted to let you know that I'm doing some speedy cleanup in hopes of preserving the page. Right now I've removed the screening section, as this is typically not something that Wikipedia has, at least in this format. There is often a release section, but this would only contain information about where it first screened and only mention festivals where it's received coverage in independent and reliable sources. It's kind of expected that a film will screen in various locations if it's going the film festival route.

I've also removed the section about the individual people - this should be in a synopsis section, which I've created. As far as other content goes, we should only cover things as they relate to the documentary in specific. Also, make sure that we avoid writing anything that may come across like we're trying to present the documentary as particularly good or in a certain light. I'll have more notes later, but wanted to let you know what I was doing. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:04, 20 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hello, thank you for your help. Do you suggest I include the information about the people in the synopsis?

  • I would, but I would work it into the synopsis more, so that it helps show how these parts of their history are vital in the film. So for example, it could be set up like this:
Rmv because it poses a copyright issue.
This gets more to the point and helps work it more into a general story format, so to speak. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:32, 20 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
