Proposed deletion of Leonid Tell

The article Leonid Tell has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Leonid Tell into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. This also applies to translating foreign Wikipedia pages. MrClog (talk) 10:20, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! What is the concern against inclusion of this article? Nikdemochkin (talk) 11:21, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Nikdemochkin: You can see and respond to my reason against inclusion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Leonid Tell. --MrClog (talk) 11:56, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@MrClog: The initial article is in Russian. My question to you: have you noticed any mistakes in the English version? Bad use of language? If there are any visible signs of the translation to be carried out by the machine (not english-looking sentences, for example), please tell me. I cannot see any crime in using machine translators to facilitate the process quickly if there are no grammatical and stylistic mistakes. On the issue of the sources, I will get them in soon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nikdemochkin (talk • contribs) 10:21, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It is very clear that it's a machine translation and it's full of grammatical and stylistic mistakes. This is a quintessential example of why you shouldn't use machine translations only. You are allowed to use a machine translator to translate individual words, but beyond that, you should translate the text yourself. --MrClog (talk) 11:32, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@MrClog: Thank you for your help and comments. I am working on the issues you've brought up.
