Speedy deletion nomination of Mark Levinson, PhD

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 Mark Levinson, PhD 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. reddogsix (talk) 02:09, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

Chemoproteomics - suggestion

Hello, just been reading the article. Would it be worth putting at the start "Chemoproteomics, or chemical proteomics" and putting in a redirect, or indeed switching to that title? A pubmed search suggests that 'chemical proteomics' is more commonly used than 'chemoproteomics', although both terms are used by very eminent researchers. Blythwood (talk) 17:23, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

-RE: Hi Blythwood, thank you for your recommendation. I think this sounds like a good idea. Can you help me with this? I am a little rusty on wikipedia editing, having taken a break for a little while. Let me know what you can recommend wrt how to execute on your recommendation, thanks!. January2009 (talk) 17:40, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Well, that depends on what you think we should do! If you think chemoproteomics is an OK title but the terms are interchangeable, then the article might be worth starting as "Chemoproteomics, or chemical proteomics, is a..."-I can create a redirect for you but you just do that here. If you feel moving the article to a different title is better then click move next to 'view history'.
Sorry for the pedantry, though - just came off a case where an article on a field every expert on it calls magnetoreception was called 'magnetoception' for a decade, apparently because the original page creator made an honest mistake. So I'm a bit obsessive now! Blythwood (talk) 04:00, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

-RE2:

Thanks for your messages. Yes, in this case, there isnt already an existing page called 'chemical proteomics'. I did my due-dilligence when creating this page to be sure it wasnt a duplicate of the same concept described differently. And my research shows the term 'chemoproteomics' is quite well represented. If you are recommending a create a new page for an alternative term, 'chemical proteomics' then create a redirect, Im not sure 1) what content to put in to the chemical proteomics page and 2) which page redirects to which. Hopefully my confusion explained more explicitly will show you what Im looking for your advice on to lead/action on your idea presented to me. I am very comfortable with you creating this synonym concept, and performing any work needed for wikipedia policy to handle such. I did find zero content in wikipedia on the concept, and am familiar with the term chemoproteomics, and thus created the page as such. Anything you want to do to augment, thats great. We are going from 0 to 11 instead of just to 10.

fundinguniverse.com

I've been looking at links to fundinguniverse.com and found you've been adding it at least a few times. Please note that in edits like [1], only the first external link, the citation url= field, is appropriate.

Also, if you have thoughts on the reliability of the website and the International Directory of Company Histories which it looks to be mostly (entirely?) derived, it would be helpful. Some of the entries I've run across look like they were submitted from the companies themselves, and were published with very little or no editing. --Ronz (talk) 18:14, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
