User talk:Tekone Yoshimori

Welcome!

Hello, Tekone Yoshimori, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Francis Andersen, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted (if it hasn't already).

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Speedy deletion of Francis Andersen

A tag has been placed on Francis Andersen 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 person or group of people, but it does not 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Feedback

I responded to your question on WP:FEED#Francis Andersen. You might wanna check out WP:Your first article and WP:Introduction to get the basics of Wikipedia. I hope you decide to stay, its kind of a fun hobby to do (in my opinion). Feel free to ask me any questions here, or on my talk page. I'll watch this page and check back.

Thanks for the note

You are right, for citing papers in books there is no alternative. That is a real superiority of the citation template - I use the other ones largely from habit. On speedy deletion, the main thing is for the article to indicate or assert possible notability somehow. Which yours did, even though the statements indicating it were not referenced. Most administrators consider being a prof at a major educational institution enough, but some don't, and some might not recognize some institutions. Things written by the person help indicate notability, but not nearly as much as things written about the person . In addition to the general notability guidelines WP:N and WP:BIO there are specialized notability guidelines like WP:PROF The more references the better.
