Speedy deletion nomination of User:Richard Scase

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:Richard Scase, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Contested deletion

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (your reason here) --Richard Scase (talk) 17:00, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Professor Richard Scase has many interesting articles on the future of business and macro trends - I would like to share his research on Wikipedia and would ask that I have time to work on this page and remove any items that Wikipedia do not like.

I am new to this so will read the guide through if I may be allowed to keep this in edit mode to work on?

Thank you

Tracey

User page

I have deleted this account's user page because it was a copyright violation from https://uk.linkedin.com/in/professorrichardscase. Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material without a formal copyright release, as described at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials - assertion of permission to use is not enough.

There would be no point making a copyright release for this text, which is far too promotional in tone to be acceptable. Wikipedia is not a place like Facebook or LinkedIn for people to tell the world about themselves. It is a quite different sort of site, a project to build an encyclopedia, so it is selective about subjects for articles, and writing about oneself is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained at Wikipedia is not about YOU and Wikipedia:Autobiography.

Wikipedia user pages are not like those at social-networking sites. Their use is explained at WP:NOTWEBHOST:

"Wikipedians have their own user pages, but they should be used primarily to present information relevant to working on the encyclopedia. Limited biographical information is allowed, but user pages should not function as personal webpages or be repositories for large amounts of material that is irrelevant to collaborating on Wikipedia. If you are looking to make a personal webpage or blog or to post your résumé, please make use of one of the many free providers on the Internet or any hosting included with your Internet account."

Username

If you are not Professor Scase, you should not be using an account in his name. Please apply at WP:Changing username as soon as possible for a change of username. Your username may be based on your real name, or not, as you choose (see WP:REALNAME for some considerations), but it should not be the name of any other living person, or of any group or organization.

If Professor Scase wishes to edit himself, he will be very welcome; in that case you may wish simply to set up another account for yourself, and he can use this one. Each contributor requires his or her own account - shared accounts are not permitted. JohnCD (talk) 18:39, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No original research

One more piece of advice. I do not wish to be discouraging, but some explanation now of what Wikipedia is and is not may save misunderstanding later.

An encyclopedia is not a place to publish original work. Its role is to summarise what has already been published and discussed in reliable sources. This is explained in the fundamental policy Wikipedia:No original research. You should read the whole of that, but note particular;y two key passages:

"If no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article about it. If you discover something new, Wikipedia is not the place to announce such a discovery."

"Do not combine material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the sources."

Another link you may find helpful is Wikipedia:A primer for newcomers. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 20:59, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
