Thank you for visiting my talk page!

Please be patient if you expect a reply regarding a message you leave on my talk page, as I'm involved in many other activities, and I do have a life outside Wikipedia... It may take a while before I see your message, but once I do see it, I'm usually pretty prompt in replying.

Proposed deletion of EUREL

The article EUREL has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page in the form of "This article meets criteria A and B because..." and ping me back. Thank you,

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:25, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't assess speedy deletion nominations

Hi IsaacSt and thank you for your contributions. I have to ask you to please don't assess speedy deletion nominations such as you did on Vivica D. Smith Pierre. The article had a 92% overlap with the source document, a copyright web page, and hence was a clear-cut copyright violation. Please leave assessing speedy deletion nominations to administrators. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 01:25, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, @Diannaa:, for your input. If my observation regarding this document was incorrect, then I apologize. It was done in good faith. It is, however, my duty as a WP editor to correct anything I believe is mistakenly done. In particular with WP:CSDs, when I'm not the creator and especially when I have nothing to do with the article, the WP policies are pretty clear about permitting the removal ("Only an editor who is not the creator of a page may do so"), regardless of being an admin or not.

Again, thanks for the note. I see that you are pretty active on WP, and I'm honored to share WP editorship with you. -- IsaacSt (talk) 02:22, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

My first post was poorly worded, perhaps because I wanted to spare your feelings. The rules do allow you to assess these nominations, but I personally don't think you have enough experience to do so at this time. Regards, — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 04:28, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry about my feelings. I've "been there, done that" more than you can imagine. :-) However, if you keep this attitude, you might scare away other 3-year "newbies". Luckily, we all get the same say about how WP works: none. -- IsaacSt (talk) 04:58, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your statement that G12 is "inappropriate based on URL provided" is incorrect, because under current copyright law, literary works are subject to copyright whether they are tagged as such or not. No registration is required, and no copyright notice is required. So please always assume that all material you find online is copyright. Exceptions include works of the US Government and material specifically released under license. The article appeared on our CopyPatrol bot report and I assessed it using Earwig's tool. That's how I determined that the article was almost identical to the author CV at the bottom of the source web page. We can't assume that it was the author of that content that posted it here; we need proof. The author has been provided with instructions as to how to release this material under license if that is what they wish to do. The content cannot be hosted here until such release under a compatible license takes place. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:27, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the above assessment. Respectfully, your removal of CSD templates is inappropriate. For example, you declined David D. Hertz because there was a claim of notability. However, it wasn't nominated for A7, it was tagged for G11: Unambiguous spam or promotion, which it absolutely was. The Wordsmith^{Talk to me} 19:42, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I respectfully disagree. WP:G11 reads "If a subject is notable and the content could plausibly be replaced with text that complies with neutral point of view, this is preferable to deletion." -- IsaacSt (talk) 19:57, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of the content was copied word for word from the subject's website, http://www.gastromotiva.org/en/david-hertz/, and thus the article was a copyright violation. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 00:33, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
