Proposed deletion of Mark J. Solomon (author)

edit
 

The article Mark J. Solomon (author) has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Whispering 21:50, 27 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

The article Computer Simulated Universes Evolutionary Hypothesis has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable theory proposed by a single philosopher in a self-published treatise

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.

  Hello, I'm Kirachinmoku. I noticed that you recently removed all content from Computer Simulated Universes Evolutionary Hypothesis, with this edit, without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, I restored the page's content. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. KiraChinmoku 15:31, 12 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Relative to this -- if your blanking of the page was intended as a deletion of the page, you may replace all contents of the page with the template {{db-author}}. This will inform an admin that you (as the only editor to have added any substance to this article) would like it deleted. Once the article has been edited substantively (i.e. not just the addition of templates or the correction of format, etc) by other editors, the db-author route is no longer valid, but for now, it should be.

  Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages, as you did with Mark J. Solomon. Doing so won't stop the discussion from taking place. You are, however, welcome to comment about the proposed deletion on the appropriate page. Thank you.
