Speedy deletion nomination of Karpov Victor

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Karpov Victor requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Your diplomat articles

edit

I have turned your article Vorontzov July into a redirect to the existing article Yuli Mikhailovich Vorontsov about this person. Before creating a new article, please check to see whether there is an existing one, and so far as possible make sure that your transliteration from Cyrillic follows the normal standard.

Please also study the guidelines Your First Article and the WP:Manual of Style (biographies) to learn about our preferred article layout and style - you could also look at some existing articles about diplomats. In particular, the surname should be last in the article title. It saves work for other editors if your articles are submitted in the correct format. Two last pieces of advice:

  • it is best not to post an article until you have enough material to make it clear that it is about someone notable enough to have an article. An article that just says "Vorontzev July Russian diplomat" is very likely to be tagged for speedy deletion, because we get a large number of one-line articles which are never expanded,
  • one of Wikipedia's fundamental principles is verifiability - every piece of information needs to be verifiable from a reliable source. That is especially true for biographies of living persons. Articles which do not cite sources are liable to be challenged and removed. WP:CITE explains how to add references to an article.

Alexei Obukhov

I have changed "Alexey" to "Alexei" because that seems to be the form usually used - see, for instance this article of his. JohnCD (talk) 16:32, 1 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Alexei Obukhov

edit
 

The article Alexei Obukhov has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article. The nominator also raised the following concern:

All biographies of living people created after March 18, 2010, must have references.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia: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.

Thanks for uploading File:Flight in the Sky, 2008, oil on board, 50,5 by 35.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description.
