Speedy deletion nomination of Utilisateur:Fabrice.Neyret

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 Utilisateur:Fabrice.Neyret, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It 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. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for 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 "Click here to 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, you can place a request here. Ghorpaapi (talk) 12:19, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've copied the content to your userpage, which is where I assume you'd intended to place it. Acroterion (talk) 12:33, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

[Fabrice's answer:] I understand you replaced Utilisateur:Fabrice.Neyret by User:Fabrice.Neyret . Right ? then, thanks you ! I'm not sure at first how this path get generated, since I only clicked on (possibly red) links to get it, also alterning between english and french. (BTW it is a real nightmare to manage bilingual wikipedia activity: I can only see and follow contributions to en.wikipedia from my english profile and similarly for french. Plus I have to duplicate all preference tunning and self presentation pages. Is there really no way to get it smoother ? Or is there some suggestion page somewhere ? Also, I edit pages for quite a while, but I'm new in page creation and deep editing. Concerning discussions like we have here, is there some tool to use to manage the discussion, or does the normal way really consist in "manually" type and organise the "threads" at low level using the wiki page editor ? thanks, Fabrice.

Yes, in essence the English Wikipedia would think that "Utilisateur:Fabrice Neyret" was an article, not a userpage, just as the French Wikipedia wouldn't put User:Fabrice Neyret into its Utilisateur space. That's what happened, so I just moved it to the right place. There are no real links between userspaces on different Wikipedias, you have to manage them separately. I think there are some ideas for making it better, but for now the different languages of your user account are separate.

Unfortunately, management of discussion pages is just as difficult, and you have to type in all the formatting. I'm told that improvements are expected, but I'm not optimistic that we'll see a more natural method of expression soon. Acroterion (talk) 15:51, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Fabrice.Neyret. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 17:48, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Adding links to your blogs

Even if you didn't have a conflict of interest, blogs are on the links to avoid list. Please stop adding these. - MrOllie (talk) 11:47, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[answer by Fabrice.Neyret (talk) 12:29, 20 February 2019 (UTC)] :[reply]

Sorry, but plenty of Wikipedia pages of my domain ( CS, CG, maths ) do contain external links towards additional material on the topic, and are very useful as such. Have you even click the links ? each of these 2 blogs is dedicated exclusively to the topic covered, giving educational informations on the topic. These are totally separated to my personal (institutional) blog about my own research activities. Now if it really comes to "authority" argument, I understand from the guideline that being an academic in the domain is one of the criteria of acceptance (but to me any other litterated expert user could have legitimately write these blogs, as it is probably the case for many useful external links I'm happy to get on Wikipedia).

Beside, you also deleted an shadertoy external link (which I wasn't the adder). Shadertoy happens to be both an online application and an autonomous app. Why censoring one of these ? Why not the other, why not both, BTW ? I see no logic, and it's just depriving users of useful information directly related to the topic. Please don't confuse rightful principles and blind literal application of them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fabrice.Neyret (talk • contribs)

Since you read the expert requirement on WP:ELNO, you no doubt continued on to read the next sentence: "This exception for blogs, etc., controlled by recognized authorities is meant to be very limited; as a minimum standard, recognized authorities who are individuals always meet Wikipedia's notability criteria for people."

That clearly is not the case here.

As to the iOS app link, we also don't generally link to things that require special hardware such as an iOS device. Wikipedia is not a software downloads directory. - MrOllie (talk) 14:19, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
