Speedy deletion nomination of Ellie M. Cohen
[edit]Hello Smllrf10,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Ellie M. Cohen for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Margalob (talk) 01:09, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
Status and Advice
[edit]- As reviewing administrator, I deleted the article. In trying to deal with a situation of cultural bias, it is necessary to overcome the unconscious (or for that matter conscious) prejudices of individuals and of society, it is necessary to write good objective articles, about people and subjects that are clearly notable, free from over-personal or promotional content. Writing poor quality articles on these subjects is harmful--it implies that strong articles cannot be written, or that people of true notability cannot be found. Since most new editors do not find it easy to write strong articles initially, the best way to proceed, is to use a sandbox or draft space or userspace subpage to develop the article.
This not yet ready. I'll just quote one sentence to demonstrate the problems: "Ellie’s educational endeavors have solidified her interest in analyzing systemic government policies, that ultimately have helped her implement successful conservation programs,in regards to climate changes and how it is affecting different wildlife environments, acquiring data throughout California’s changing landscape" (For one relatively minor but indicative point, it is condescending and undignified in formal writing to refer to anyone other than a entertainer by their first name alone. For another, one way to avoid writing appearing promotional is to avoid adjectives of praise. More basically, for living people, claims of that sort without a third party reliable source reference are a BLP violation.)
I'd suggest that you not only avoid restoring it to mainspace, but rewrite it before putting in in draft space. G11 applies to draft as well, but we show much greater tolerance there for correctable problems. DGG ( talk ) 21:44, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
The article Ellie M. Cohen has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted 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}} 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.

- The article Ellie M. Cohen is no where near ready for publication I suggest you move it to draft as it's likely to be deleted. It's tone is entirely inappropriate for Wikipedia and it has no references. Theroadislong (talk) 21:59, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Ellie M. Cohen
[edit]
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 Ellie M. Cohen, 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 "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. DGG ( talk ) 03:13, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
