The article GRAFTJACKET® Regenerative Tissue Matrix - Ulcer Repair has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki (talk) 14:26, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The articles are all blatant promotion of Wright Medical and its products. This is an encyclopedia, not a free advertising host. See WP:SPAM and WP:NPOV. NawlinWiki (talk) 15:34, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Dr. Rande Lazar

The article Dr. Rande Lazar has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This is not an encyclopaedia article. It is a promotional résumé. Unless it can be completely rewritten as an article that is referenced and clearly meets WP:ACADEMIC it should be deleted.

While all 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 {{dated prod}} 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 {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Steve Charles, MD

This request for help from administrators has been answered. If you need more help or have additional questions, please reapply the {{admin help}} template, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their own user talk page.

.

This is to answer your "helpme" on the talk page of "Wikipedia:Steve Charles, MD". That would not be the right title, as the "Wikipedia" prefix is for pages concerned with the organization and operation of the encyclopedia. The page was therefore moved to Steve Charles, MD, but then deleted as a copyright violation, being a substantial copy of http://www.charles-retina.com/Steve_Charles/Who_is_Steve_Charles.asp.

Wikipedia cannot accept copyright text - see Wikipedia:Copy-paste and for more detail Wikipedia:Copyrights#Contributors' rights and obligations. Minor rewording and rearrangement of text does not avoid a copyright violation (Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing). Assertion of permission to reproduce text is not enough - Wikipedia's CC-BY-SA license permits any reader to copy, modify, and re-use for any purpose including commercial, and it is essential that the actual copyright holder understands and agrees to that.

This page therefore cannot be undeleted unless a formal copyright release is made, as described at Wikipedia:Donating copyright materials. That is not usually worth doing, because personal or company websites often have a promotional tone unsuitable for an encyclopedia article, which requires a WP:Neutral point of view. Also, a copy of a website CV would not be sufficient, because articles need to demonstrate Wikipedia:Notability, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."

There is more detail at WP:Notability (people), and good advice on how to write an acceptable article at WP:Your first article. JohnCD (talk) 21:33, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The page I wrongly titled "Wikipedia:Steve Charles, MD" which was moved by a user to Steve Charles, MDwas recently removed due to copyright infringment. An affiliated member owning the information infringed upon has granted permission to release copyrights to Wikipedia via an email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org as instructed above. A reply from permissions@wikimedia.org was sent to the owner of the information indicating they do not know which wiki page the content is associated with (probably because it is deleted?)

I know I am now supposed to place the OTRS Pending template on the talk page of Steve Charles, MD but I can not get to it. How should I resume?

To get the page re-instated, contact the deleting admin on his talk page ((User talk:Qwyrxian)). I will place the OTRS template for you Mdann52 (talk) 15:51, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

An administrator needs to un-delete a copy of this article to a sub-page of your account. I have marked this request as needing administrator attention, and one will be here soon. Thanks, Nathan2055 ^talk 15:55, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note that Wikipedia normally includes MD only in fictional character or book/movie title article titles. People are disambiguated using the most appropriate, shortest terms. As there is only a footballer with the same name, it should be (physician) or (surgeon) unless something else is more appropriate. Good luck. Dru of Id (talk) 16:00, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dru of Id, are you saying the title of the page should be Steve Charles, Surgeon instead of Steve Charles, MD? Lunaweb (talk) 18:24, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Steve Charles (surgeon); when linked from another article, the coding would be [[Steve Charles (surgeon)|Steve Charles]], or piped for meaning, e.g. [[Steve Charles (surgeon)|his father in law]]; short cut [[Steve Charles (surgeon)|]] would display as Steve Charles. Dru of Id (talk) 19:10, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have restored it and moved it to User:Lunaweb/Steve Charles (doctor). Please note that from what I can see, this looks very promotional! You need to use more neutral language (things like "one of the world’s leading vitreoretinal surgeons" are not neutral!) - and you definitely need some reliable sources which are independent to verify the information in the article. You also need to show that he meets the notability criteria for inclusion on Wikipedia - you might also like to look at the specific criteria for academics. I will give you some time to find suitable sources (I couldn't find much apart from a couple of trade journals and some of his own research), but the article cannot remain indefinitely in your user space! If after a suitable time I feel that the article is not sufficiently improved, I reserve the right to take it to Articles for deletion PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 01:48, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Since it's already been undeleted, I'll leave it in your userspace until the OTRS permission comes. Can you please have the person you mentioned recontact OTRS and ask them to place the appropriate info on the talk page of the draft version? Meanwhile, I'm going to start trimming out some of the info that shouldn't be in that article per the comments by Phantomsteve. At the same time, you'll need to be looking for reliable sources that verify the information included; in particular, we need sources that verify that Charles is notable. Qwyrxian (talk) 10:37, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I should actually be more clear, after looking--unless you can find independent, reliable sources that talk about Charles, this article cannot be moved to the encyclopedia. Qwyrxian (talk) 10:43, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
