Dr. Bob Deutsch

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Dr. Bob Deutsch, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.brain-sells.com/bio.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 16:54, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Dr. Bob Deutsch

A tag has been placed on Dr. Bob Deutsch requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Thanks for your note on my talk page. First of all, I note that the last time you communicated with me you were Dr. Deutsch, and this time you seem to be other people, so I need to tell you that Wikipedia has a "one person, one account" policy. If the individual who just left me a note is not Dr. Deutsch, that person needs to have his/her own account; the efforts of a group working under a single account name are not allowed. Second, you asked for my opinion as to whether the revised copy is "acceptable". You need to know that you require neither my permission nor my assistance to post anything on Wikipedia; it doesn't have to be acceptable to me or anyone else. What it does have to do is meet our standards or else someone -- me or one of the many editors who volunteer their time here to do "new page patrol" -- will mark it with tags indicating how they feel it doesn't meet those standards; some of those tags lead to speedy deletion, as happened previously. In this case, there seems to be an assertion of notability. What is entirely lacking is proof of any of the statements/assertions you're making, and that is an absolutely crucial part of every Wikipedia article. What would be required are ways in which a reader can verify the statements by reference to the written opinions of arm's-length, third-party expert sources, writing in reputable publications, whom we have a reason to believe. So, for instance, my personal opinion on Dr. Deutsch's career, written in my blog, would be of no value (a) because I'm not an expert and (b) because my blog is not considered a reliable source. If you post the material that you copied to my talk page, I suspect it would hang around -- my personal opinion is that notability is asserted in a reasonable way, and that's half the battle, but my personal opinion doesn't match that of everyone else here. However, if it did hang around, it would soon be tagged by people indicating that they wanted to see the proof of the statements, or ways in which they could be verified. I hope this is useful to you. Again, there is no reason for you to get my personal opinion on the re-posting of this article. If you read this article on the essential basics of every Wikipedia article and feel that you can defend the article's inclusion on the grounds that it contains those basic elements, that should be enough. Good luck with your future contributions and if you have any further questions, feel free to leave me a note. Accounting4Taste:talk 21:12, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
