Speedy deletion nomination of 约翰·泰勒·盖托

edit
 

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 约翰·泰勒·盖托 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, 约翰·泰勒·盖托. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - John Taylor Gatto. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at John Taylor Gatto - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay.

If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Yunshui (talk) 10:07, 22 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

I have deleted the article, please do not recreate it again. The article is there as John Taylor Gatto, no need to duplicate that. Maybe you want to post this article to the chinese Wikipedia? --Dirk Beetstra T C 12:58, 23 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Self directed education

edit

The two pages are literally word for word the same page. Which capitalization is proper? Is it a proper noun? ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ᐐT₳LKᐬ 23:31, 11 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Alliance for Self-Directed Education moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Alliance for Self-Directed Education, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template atop the page.

Nomination of Self-directed education for deletion

edit
 

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Self-directed education is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Self-directed education until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Largoplazo (talk) 14:10, 12 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Peter Gray (psychologist)

edit

I got your email. I'm not the one to verify identities, and won't do so here. But if Peter Gray would really like to have his birthday or year included in Wikipedia, the most expeditious way would be to add it to some public record that can be verified. (His CV would do, or his webpage, or LinkedIn, or I believe he could email the Library of Congress people to provide it). See WP:V. In any case, the relationship you describe with certainly comprises a conflict of interest, and you should use extreme caution in editing the article. Anything possibly controversial, you should request on the talk page. In any case, I will try to look into the edits that Gray was interested in (updating board memberships, including some newer books) over the next few days. The case for including the books (which are published by an organization closely connected to Gray, and are compilations of blog posts) would be stronger if you could find reviews in reliable, independent sources.

I got a second email from you, and I think we're in agreement with the age thing. I did look a bit more: VIAF lists 1944 as a dob, but also lists 1953, so that looks not so reliable. I think it's better to leave off for the time being. You passed on some other suggestions from Gray. If you don't object here in the next day or so, I will summarize them on the article talk page, and will try to look at implementing them over the next week or so. If you and/or Gray know of book reviews of his books (in journal articles/newspapers/similar), those would be helpful to include. It can be hard to search, as Gray is a rather common name.
