If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! GABgab 17:47, 25 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Articles for Deletion

edit

I noticed you placed AFD tags on Michael L. Radelet but did not create the corresponding page required to hold the discussion. Thus, I have removed the AFD notice from the article. If you wish to re-nominate, please read through the guidelines before proceeding. Primefac (talk) 00:50, 18 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Deletion of Michael L. Radelet

edit

Hi, I noticed your request for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michael L. Radelet. Please note that an article will generally not be deleted solely because of the article subject's wishes. Deletion of any article is done in accordance with the deletion policy. However, a number of editors are inclined to favor deletion of an article on a person of borderline notability where the subject requests deletion, and I believe Dr. Radelet falls into that category.

That being said, with this being the Internet it's easy for people to conceal their true identities or motives, and indeed people have in the past come here falsely claiming to be article subjects and requesting articles to be deleted. If you know Dr. Radelet, I suggest that he send an email from a verifiable email address (e.g., an official university email address) to info-en-q@wikimedia.org, indicating his wish for the article on him to be deleted. The volunteers who monitor that email address will log it and will most likely post a comment on the deletion discussion stating that Dr. Radelet emailed them with a request to delete the article.
