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 Anjali Appadurai, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

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 "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 deleted 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.

Hello Praxidicae,
I can understand the reasoning behind the first objection. I can say that i just wanted to get something started about this remarkable woman, who may soon be an important mover and shaker. I of course was intending to make it "more encyclopedic" but this would take some time. Unfortunately, the "speedy deletion" clause does not seem to allow such contributions. And speedy it was indeed, with no allowance for appropriate updating unless the contributor would be living on the net. Not very fair it seems, though apparently within wikipedia guidelines and protocols.
The same cannot be said for the second objection, the so-called copyright violation. The text that was copied -- from another site, not the tamil site linked to -- was solely text from Appadurai's speech to COP17, which the news media themselves had already copied. Thus, this objection seems grossly unfair and inaccurate.

Further to this, there appears already to be a "Draft" article on this person, mysteriously sitting in a limbo since Dec 2021. As it is more correctly formatted according to Wikipedia standards and lacking only "notability", and i can supply that notability, i will therefore move over there and re-submit that. -- Sarlo (talk) Sarlo (talk) 03:59, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

File Copyright problem
File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Anjali-appadurai.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Vladlen Manilov / 04:00, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks Vladlen,
I cannot vouch for the status of this pic, the only one in my upload history, so will abandon it.
Thanks, Sarlo (talk) 03:46, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
