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.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice that Inhalation sedation, a page that you created, has been tagged for deletion. 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:

  • It appears to be a test page. (See section G2 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do, and take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.
  • It is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. (See section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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. 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.

Inhalation sedation–copying issues

[edit]

Hello Sch1912. Thanks for writing this article–it seems like a good choice of topic to include on Wikipedia. I'm afraid that it has a major problem which is that as I understand it from Googling large portions of text are word for word copied, or nearly so, from other articles and professional standards manuals such as this one and this one.

It is acceptable to quote from such materials, but you must make it clear within the text that the text is a quote and only do it where it's really essential (e.g. something like "The Scottish Dental Clinical Effectiveness Programme warned in 2017: "Dentists have given far too little attention to the risk of..."." Simply citing the manual is not a clear enough attribution. If you are quoting from it, you must say that within the text, keep the quotes short and to-the-point and not simply copy large portions of text unnecessarily or without within-text attribution, and we don't allow sentence-by-sentence paraphrases either.

I should stress that Wikipedia is not, and is explicitly not meant to be, a thorough resource on how to carry out medical procedures. If you think a topic is relevant for an article, we are far, far better off with a one-paragraph explanation of what the topic is and links to the best resources on the topic than large portions of copied text. I would recommend cutting the article down a bit, basically. Blythwood (talk) 17:20, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Inhalation sedation

[edit]

Hello, Sch1912. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Inhalation sedation".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. JMHamo (talk) 18:11, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
