Speedy deletion of Barbara Gluck

A tag has been placed on Barbara Gluck requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Linking to the uninformative

Hi. In this edit you link from an utterly worthless "article" to an article on the same subject in French. But when, eager to read about the man in French, I click on the link, I arrive at a translation of the utterly worthless English article.

If somebody wants to French-language Wikipedia to imitate the most pointless articles within English-language Wikipedia, that's a matter for French-language Wikipedia. But why link to these articles from the English-language articles? -- Hoary (talk) 11:03, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

hello, I do not exactly understand your point, but if you wan to remove the interwiki link please do so. Jatayou (talk) 16:13, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Eiji Ubusawa is almost worthless. People who look at it and are capable of reading French may notice the link to fr:Eiji Ubusawa and click on it. They'll then read something that's just as worthless as the English version (or that was so when I looked at it last night): no worse, but no better.

I can't immediately come up with any French equivalent of the article Eiji Ubusawa, but compare Marcel Ichac. The article is pretty bad, but it links to fr:Marcel Ichac, which is better. This link is a real help to readers of the English article.

I didn't see who created fr:Eiji Ubusawa. However, if you would like to translate one or two English-language articles on Japanese photographers into French, then I recommend looking through this long list for people marked "OK". Thus for photographers whose names start with "U":

• Uchida Kuichi, 1844–1875 (French version doesn't exist)
• Ueda Shōji, 1913–2000 (French version exists)
• Ueno Hikoma, 1838–1904 (French version doesn't exist)
• Ukai Gyokusen, 1807–1887 (French version exists)
• Usui Kaoru, b. 1916 (French version doesn't exist)

Among these articles in English, that on Ueno is particularly good, and Ueno certainly merits an article in French. -- Hoary (talk) 01:27, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Well noted. If you need some hints to identify "important" French photographers who have "reasonable" article on fr WP, you can contact me. In general, any photographer who was awarded fr:Prix Niépce deserves an article. Example : fr:Jean-Louis Swiners. See also one of my last articles : fr:André Vigneau. Best regards, Jatayou (talk) 10:28, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Well, translating from the French would be an interesting change for me. So I looked at fr:André Vigneau -- but it seems completely unsourced. -- Hoary (talk) 11:12, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Hum... You are picky and challenging ! In fact, when I write an article, I put a section "bibliographie" which means that I used the mentioned documents to build the article. For sake of clarity, I added a note. Best regards, Jatayou (talk) 16:26, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
