Speedy deletion nomination of Anne Selene Fiko

A tag has been placed on Anne Selene Fiko, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

No independent references. The alleged authorship is selfpublishing.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Orland (talk) 12:05, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

Issues with other articles on Wikipedia

On Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anne Selene Fiko you complain that Orland's articles are not verifiable or notable enough for Wikipedia (as I understand it). If you have issues with one ore more articles the proper place to discuss that is on that article's talk page or on Articles for Deletion where anybody can nominate an article (here or on the Norwegian Wikipedias). That another article might not be suited to be on Wikipedia is generally not considered a valid argument; please se WP:GOFISHING.Sjö (talk) 08:51, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Administrator's board notice

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 09:17, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Sure it is a serious breach of administrators power. If I can reach you in private outside public Wp I will tell you what this is all about because I'm new to Wp and not sure how everything in Wp works. I know it has a private message area but don't know where. Or else I have prepared e-mail direct to Wp administration in Norway. METC4F (talk) 09:29, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

There is actually no private message area. Wikipedia is very transparent :) 129.240.239.168 (talk) 12:35, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

A few key points

• First, please read WP:BATTLE. Your interactions with the community as a whole should not approach the tone you're using - ever.

• The English Wikipedia has different rules than other languages - our notability and sourcing policies are important.

• The WP:DELETE process will also be very important to you, as will WP:CONSENSUS - after all, an articles for deletion discussion is attempting to lead to policy-based consensus.

• Threats towards editors will not be tolerated: period. That includes threats to e-mail whatever authority you believe exists: the community is the highest authority on Wikipedia. Otherwise, you're merely trying to get your way by creating "chill".

• I encourage you to go back to the 5 pillars of Wikipedia. Although I appreciate the work you may have put into the article, it simply does not meet the English Wikipedia requirements. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 11:32, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anne Selene Fiko

You don't need to disrupt this discussion by accusing other users of breaking the rules. If Fiko really is notable in Norway, all you need to do is add links to two or three reviews of her work in significant newspapers, magazines, or literary journals. That will show her notability, and I - and a lot of other users- will immediately change my vote to 'keep.' But please, stay focused on the subject of the discussion- whether Fiko meets Wikipedia's notability criteria. The discussion isn't the right place to accuse other editors of conspiracy. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 11:53, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
