Proposed deletion of David Simchi-Levi

The article David Simchi-Levi has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Speedy deletion nomination of David Simchi-Levi

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 David Simchi-Levi requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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.

A question about another account

What is your connection to the person using the account Edithsl? JamesBWatson (talk) 15:21, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I know nothing about that. What did he/she do?Shiyuanw (talk) 15:22, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It was an account which came back after not editing for a very long time, just to ask about an article which had been deleted eleven years ago, and then within a few months you came along and recreated the same article. It seemed that the close timing between those two events, in proportion to the very long time when nobody had said or done anything on the subject, was too much of a coincidence not to indicate some connection. However, there may be a connection that you don't know about; for example, have you been contracted to create an article? If so, the other account may have some connection to whoever contracted you.

While I am here, I will take the opportunity to let you know that you shouldn't create test pages in article space, as you did at Harry Mith. If you want to create test pages, that is fine, but keep them out of the public face of the encyclopaedia by putting them in your "user space", which simply means having "User:Shiyuanw/" in front of the page title. This, you could for example create a page User:Shiyuanw/Harry Mith. Alternatively, clicking on the "sandbox" link at the top of the page will create a "sandbox" page for you, which you can use for most kinds of test editing and practice.

I see that someone else has already told you about test edits and sandboxes, which I didn't see when I was editing this section. Oh well, never mind, you've now been told twice. JamesBWatson (talk) 15:42, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
