A tag has been placed on Շահինյան Արշամ Արտաշեսի, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

- Hi Nane Vardanyan: I have deleted the article, because articles here on the English Wikipedia need to be in English, and we have a rule that when there is already an article on a different-language Wikipedia, they are deleted rather than waiting for someone to possibly translate them. Arsham Shahinian (or perhaps it should be Arsham Shahinyan, based on this Google Books result and other web evidence, and that's how we spell his name the one time it seems to be mentioned here) appears to be notable and an article about him here would be great; thank you for trying to give us one. However, it must be in English. Also, you appear to have actually taken the text from the Soviet-Armenian Encyclopedia: see here at Armenian Wikisource. This is inappropriate and without attribution is also a copyright violation. Please write us a stub in your own words in English, if possible. Yngvadottir (talk) 01:58, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
