CONSISTENCY IN WIKI POLICIES

WRITTEN BY ADMIN. GRAEMEL:

"...As to claims of notability. If she writes regularly for a national newspaper, or has received a major journalism award (even one from a third world countries journalism comunity), that would count as notability. The fact that she is from a third world country has nothing to do with notability, something that makes her stand out from most of the other journalists is the same country would be enough. Nobel prizes are not required to be notable. Hope this helps..." --GraemeL (talk) 18:46, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Dutch Wikipedia article

OK, I saw your link to the Dutch article nl:Bea Vianen. Rather than post your stub back again, the best way to deal with it is to either translate the page to English yourself and post it here, or copy the text from the Dutch article and submit a request for translation here. If you go through requesting a translation, the article will be deleted if nobody is willing to translate it after two weeks. If you translate it yourself, the article probably already includes enough information to pass notability criteria, so you would avoid having it speedy deleted again. Hope this helps. --GraemeL ^(talk) 19:51, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, it 'is' a different person on closer inspection. Sorry, I don't read dutch :(. If you do speak Dutch and the other articles that you're thinking of posting already exist on the Dutch Wikipedia, you might want to try posting translations of them here instead of writing them again. I'm going to go eat now, but I'll search for some links on notability for you when I get back. --GraemeL ^(talk) 20:02, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I see you created Bea(trice) Vianen with only a link to the Dutch article. Unfortunatly, articles that only contain a single external link are also likely to be deleted. If you want to work on a translation of the Dutch article, that would be fine, but just linking to it is not really an option. Also, adding the protection template to an article does not protect it, you need to be an admin to protect a page. Feel free to leave me more questions and I'll respond later. --GraemeL ^(talk) 20:06, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Signa Vianen

Wees gerust, Amsterdam. Er is geen enkel probleem met een artikel over Signa Vianen. Waar het om gaat is dat uit het artikel al duidelijk moet worden waarom zij belangrijk genoeg is om op wikipedia genoemd te worden. Een link naar de site van De Ware Tijd is vaak niet voldoende, omdat weinig mensen die krant kennen (zeker niet-Nederlandstaligen) en omdat niet-Nederlandstaligen vaak niet zullen begrijpen wat er op de link staat. Het artikel Signa Vianen geeft aan wie Signa Vianen is, waar ze vandaan komt, wat ze doet en wat daar zo belangrijk aan is dat ze een artikel op wikipedia verdient. Als je informatie over haar hebt die nog niet genoemd is maar wel van belang is, voeg dat dan gerust toe. Als je vragen of problemen of suggesties of wat dan ook hebt, kun je gerust een berichtje bij me achterlaten. En je hebt gelijk: ze was al eerder dan 2004 in dienst bij De Ware Tijd. Fijne kerstdagen :) Aecis ^{Mr. Mojo risin'} 21:41, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Ambtelijk taalgebruik is op wikipedia niet nodig hoor, net als zulke uitgebreide verontschuldigingen :) Er zijn een paar richtlijnen (guidelines) waar een artikel aan moet voldoen. Ik leer zelf nog iedere dag bij, en ik sta met meer dan 11.000 edits (is daar geen Nederlands woord voor?) inmiddels in de top van wikipedia. Wat ik voor jullie (uit het woordje "we" leid ik af dat er meerdere mensen gebruik maken van deze account) zou kunnen betekenen, is dat jullie de teksten over Cynthia Mcleod-Ferrier, Bea Vianen en Erna Aviankoi op mijn talk page plaatsen, en dat ik ze (mocht dat nodig zijn) zodanig bewerk dat ze niet nog een keer verwijderd worden. Ik (zelf een journalist) krijg namelijk meer en meer het gevoel dat deze mensen belangrijk genoeg zijn voor wikipedia. Mocht iemand de artikelen dan toch verwijderen, dan zal ik hoogstpersoonlijk contact opnemen met Deletion Review. Hoe klinkt dit? Aecis ^{Mr. Mojo risin'} 22:35, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi There... Amsterdam says Hello!

Speedy deletion nomination of Signa Vianen

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 Signa Vianen requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 23:48, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
