User talk:Msaloff

Bonjour M. Coste,

I am afraid that when you return to Wikipedia, your newly written entry Michel Saloff Coste may already be deleted because it was identified by a translator at this page as a vanity page. I just wanted to explain what that means. There is a Wikipedia page called Wikipedia:Vanity guidelines which expresses the consensus of the community that we should not author pages about ourselves. Thus, as a professor at the Weatherhead School of Management who does not yet have a biographical entry in the Wikipedia, I must wait until someone else begins a page about me, rather than writing one myself. (Some of my colleagues already have Wikipedia entries -- David Cooperrider, for instance.)

Vanity alone is not a reason for deleting a new page from Wikipedia, but importance must be demonstrated. It also helps if you follow guidelines for Wikipedia formatting, found in the Wikipedia:Guide to layout.

I will do some formatting edits on your page, but if it is deleted, I hope you will not be discouraged. You can still write about topics you consider important, or edit pages that have already been created to make them more encyclopedic. Mamawrites 07:27, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Msaloff As you may or may not be aware, despite what's above, the page Michel Saloff Coste was not deleted. :-) There was discussion here and it was deemed that you'd written enough books to justify your continued existence in Article form in the English language Wikipedia. *grin*

I've just done some copy edit work on it, to make it easier to read and therefore more accessible, without I hope altering any meaning. When doing so, I deleted two dead refs, which were both on this site: http://homepage.mac.com/msaloff That's coming up as unavailable. There is still one ref. starting with that same website remaining in the article, snd that's against the mention of your meeting Andy Warhol; I had deleted those at the start of both the Exhibitions and Published works sections. Do you have a replacement ref.? All the best to you. Bambecq! Boscaswell talk 14:10, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of The Integral University in Paris

The article The Integral University in Paris has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

no assertion that it is notable, and no evidence that it is a proper university.

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.
