Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a message letting you know that one or more of your recent edits to Gordon Rausser has been undone by an automated computer program called ClueBot NG.

An article you recently created, List of awards and honors received by Gordon Rausser, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template atop the page. ... discospinster talk 01:00, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your work in contributing to Wikipedia. However, some of the articles you have created are not encyclopedia articles but are indiscriminate lists with no context or sourcing. Some of these entries could go on his own page, but otherwise it's not meant to be a replacement for a CV. ... discospinster talk 01:06, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If DDG's only contention that Gordon Rausser's awards are considered promotional and overcoverage solely for the reason the recipient works there, this is completely invalid and should not prompt deletion of the page for the following reason:

1. The Citation Award, Builders of Berkeley, and Fellowship awards are not given simply because of an UC Berkeley affiliation, but given to less than five individuals at a given year who have distinguished themselves through their work and experience. It is unclear why DDG believes the "ones from his own university don't belong in WP." This seems to imply Gordon Rausser owns UC Berkeley, when in fact, he is a professor there. If DDG can clarify this with more than a condescending statement, it would be more constructive to provide evidence.

2. DDG does not understand the prestige of receiving this award simply because DDG does not understand the honor process in academia. In other words, DDG does not have any expertise nor the competency to determine which awards are minor. If DDG can pinpoint which awards he considers "minor awards," I will be more than happy to explain why it is not. Furthermore, this is an insult to the UC Berkeley institution as well as to Gordon Rausser. In the future, DDG should provide reasoning and evidence before making such outlandish statements and a request for the deletion of a Wikipedia page with all the necessary sources and citations.
