Speedy deletion nomination of MicroIVF or MiniIVF (Minimal Stimulation IVF)

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on MicroIVF or MiniIVF (Minimal Stimulation IVF), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article that does not provide sufficient context to identify its subject. 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.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hang on}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Status and Advice

As reviewing administrator, I deleted the articles as being =entirely promotional to the technique. There is no reason why an article cannot be written, but it must simply describe the method , not advocate for it. And it should have some much better sources--for medical toopics such as this we normally expect peer-reviwed journal articles from academic journals.

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Syrthiss (talk) 11:16, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Talkpage of deleted article

"I would like to know if this is worth rewriting... That article came directly from the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. Whatever they wrote they have nothing to gain from promoting MicroIVF. Their information is unanimously accepted in the fertility community. I do not understand how this is still promotional and hesitate having it re-written to just have it denied again for promotional reasons. Can you elaborate how the most recent submission is promotional?" (written by an IP which I assume is you, 68.194.167.195 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log).

Specifically, the primary problem is the article is being written by YOU. I've advised you about our conflict of interest guidelines, and I guess I didn't stress it enough. It is bad. Don't do it. Now, once we get past that... the last two paragraphs especially sound more like information from a brochure from your office instead of a neutral discussion of a medical procedure.

Your physician can provide some medications for pain relief during the procedure, and most patients do well with this approach. You should discuss this matter with your physician before making a final decision.

in particular are significant. Perhaps you could review some of the other articles on medical procdures here and then still not write about this topic yourself. My advice? Follow our instructions for conflicted editors and make suggestions about expanding (or adding if it doesn't exist) the section on MIVF on the IVF page here. I hope this helps and apologies for any ill feelings from me having to be so frank. Syrthiss (talk) 11:53, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
