Semey Medical University moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Semey Medical University, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

I would be very thankful if you can help me to develop this Wikipedia article. Semey Medical University is one of the biggest medical universities in Kazakhstan. Ruth Dahle (talk) 09:06, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

December 2022

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Semey Medical University. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. Liz ^{Read!

Act of vandalism

This is considered as "attack". You are not in a position to decide it, next time I will report you. --Julius Senegal (talk) 15:09, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Important notice

Hi Ruth Dahle,

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

If you continue editing disruptively in this topic area, such as by edit warring, reinstating removed content without the required consensus (WP:BLPRESTORE) or adding poorly-sourced content (WP:PSTS/WP:BURDEN), you may be topic banned from editing biographies of living persons, or blocked from editing, possibly without further warning.

Best regards,

Maybe it was not good enough, but I have done what I can to save this article. Please feel free to improve it. I have tried to add references to secondary references but have time after time experienced that my sentences were deleted. The article seems to have been created many years ago, and its log shows the history of revisions. Ruth Dahle (talk) 13:49, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The deletion discussion is about notability. If something or someone isn't notable, it doesn't matter how well-written the article is. If you believe that there are sources that prove notability, though (independent secondary reliable sources), you could add them to the deletion discussion. That's where the notability is being discussed, and that's where you can demonstrate notability by linking to sources. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 16:27, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Geir Bjørklund is a renowned Norwegian researcher. He was among the first in the country who evaluate the risk of occupational disease in dentistry due to mercury and mercury vapor exposure.[1-3] According to Nature, research by Bjørklund and collaborators indicates that long-term, low-dose radiation may cause cardiovascular problems, including high blood pressure.[4]

I have also researched more about Geir Bjørklund, but I am unsure if these references are allowed. However, how to otherwise document these facts about a media-shy researcher?:

Geir Bjørklund ranks among the top one percent of the world’s researchers.[5] He ranks No. 2 in mercury in Europe and No. 4 worldwide.[6, 7] In selenium, he ranks No. 4 in Europe and No. 5 worldwide (Expertscape).[8, 9] Expertscape also ranks him among the top published authors worldwide on autism spectrum disorder.[10] His current h-index, as seen on Google Scholar, is 52 and results from 8,642 citations (2022-12-10).[11]

Considering the growth of citations to the scientific works of Geir Bjørklund, as seen by the graph on GoogleScholar, it is difficult not thinking that a short biography about him may interest at least many of the large number of people who cite him in their theses and scientific articles. Therefore, I conclude that Bjørklund is notable enough to be included in Wikipedia. However, other people must decide if this is correct or not. I am not an expert on Wikipedia and its editorial rules; I only express what I think.

The deletion discussion is at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Geir Bjørklund, not here. The decision to delete or keep the page is made by someone else than me, based on the information provided in the deletion discussion. Of course, the deletion discussion is not a place to just copy the article content into. However, if you know of a few useful sources that meet the criteria described at WP:GNG, you can link to them there, and it would have an effect. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:51, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

ToBeFree, thank you. I have copy-pasted my comments to the deletion discussion. When discussing notability, the facts I have added are important to me. I mean that at least the four first citations meet the criteria. Ruth Dahle (talk) 22:02, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, thanks

You may well be correct; I'm sorry for my initial approach. Deletion discussions normally last about 1 week, sometimes additional weeks if there is no clear consensus. I'm interested to see the result at the end. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:28, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I hope for the best decision, dear ToBeFree. You have no reason to be sorry. I am still learning how to work with Wikipedia, and I hope I will make fewer errors with time. Ruth Dahle (talk) 22:50, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
