Your submission at Articles for creation: Guðbjörg Linda Rafnsdóttir (May 16)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by DavidWestT was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines for academics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Not a named "chair" professor and doesn't yet appear to meet notability guidelines.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Guðbjörg Linda Rafnsdóttir and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Guðbjörg Linda Rafnsdóttir, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Refer to her by her last name--she's a scientist, not a popular entertainer. List her most cited papers. Dont make vague states like "participate"-- what maters in science is what she has published-- see [[[W::PROF]] for an explanantion DGG ( talk ) 09:17, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Zymetech (June 28)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by DGG was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Zymetech and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Zymetech, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hello, Laufa0108

Thank you for creating Lára Jóhannsdóttir.

User:DGG, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

I started rewriting to normalize the article according to our format for academics; Please look at the changes I made , and apply similar to your other articles. We do not explain why various honors are significant--if they are important, we will have pages for them that just need links. It needs some more work, which you should do: We do not include adjectives of praise. We do not include minor routine academic positions within a university. We include only the 4 or 5 most cited papers--get the citations from ISI or Google Scholar. It is these citation numbers that are the usual way to show notability according to WP:PROF We usually do not include book chapters. We are very selective in listing newspapers that might have published the person's work--academic notability does not depend on that. We do include significant discussions of her work in newspapers, but not minor ones. And in addition to the person's page at the university, we also try to find and link to their formal academic CV as an external link.

To reply, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|DGG}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ .

Speedy deletion nomination of Birna Arnbjörnsdóttir

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 Birna Arnbjörnsdóttir 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 real person or group of people that 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 deleted 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. -- φ OnePt618^Talk φ 04:35, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Moved Svanborg Rannveig Jónsdóttir to draft space

I have moved your main space article to Draft:Svanborg Rannveig Jónsdóttir because it isn't ready for publication in main space. It needs to provide evidence of notability beyond the subject's own works. Please see Wikipedia:Golden rule to get an idea of what is required before an article can be published here. ~Anachronist (talk) 03:19, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

New BLPs

Hello User:Laufa0108. I see that you have created several articles about Icelandic academics. The advice often given to creators of BLPs is go for the low hanging fruit i.e. those cases where notability is so clear that there is no prospect of opposition to the BLP on those grounds. The criteria for notability of academics is at WP:Prof. Best wishes for your editing. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:51, 2 August 2020 (UTC).[reply]

August 2020

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Hrafnhildur Hanna Ragnarsdóttir, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 23:59, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
