Biography of a surgeon who does not appear to meet WP:PROF or WP:GNG - it was originally written like an advert for the person and her clinic, and now that the promotional content has mostly been removed, what remains is basically a CV. bonadea contributions talk 15:45, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Igorkorovchenko (talk) 17:21, 7 February 2017 (UTC)I'm from Voronezh city. The main idea of my new project to find and describe famous person, achievements of whom is significant for our city. The second criteria is to write about person who alive now. I have started from our Voronezh Medicine Academy. I'm newbie on Wikipedia and can be wrong in some aspects. All conditions I was passed. I'm independent investigator who interests history of our city. Can you help me to done the best articles for Wikipedia? I will be appreciate.... I'm in need of your assistance to have my wikipedia page verified by an editor other myself. Apparently, my page is up for deletion unless verified properly. Could you please help me out? I would truly appreciate it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Igorkorovchenko (talk • contribs) 20:00, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

delete The article has no claim of importance so I would have deleted this with an A7 reason if so nominated. There looks to be no newspaper stories, no independent web coverage, and her writings are only limited and not enough to pass as an academic.

Igorkorovchenko (talk) 10:45, 9 February 2017 (UTC)Unfortunately, I am not a journalist, who know how to write professional articles. I'm PhD but in radiophysics. For our city it is a successful person. A career of this doctor is phenomenal. We should have a list of famous person as an example for our new generations, isn't it? What I should do that my article becomes like newspaper story. About her scientific results I can't judge.[reply]

@Igorkorovchenko: None of us is a professional journalist, and that is definitely not what Wikipedia is looking for. The problem is not with the writing style as such; the article was written like an advert at first, but that can always be edited and remedied. However, the underlying issue is that there is no sign that this is a person who meets Wikipedia's notability guideline for biographies. She has made a career for herself as a surgeon, but thousands and thousands of people have done that - it does not in itself make her notable. Please have a look at this information - that's what is required. Wikipedia is not a place to make people better know, it is a place where people (and other topics) who have already been noted in independent sources are written about, based on what these other sources have said. What Wikipedia is not may also be helpful. Regards, --bonadea contributions talk 11:05, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Bonadea: Can you describe main distinguishes between, for example, this page or this page and my article? And why my article is advertisement? In my opinion these pages are candidates for advertisement as well. Am I wrong? I can investigate more facts about awards and titles of Svetlana Danovich. Will be this article more wikipediest after that? Can you teach me? I think that it is not only her achievements, these achievements are aim for graduates from any universities or institutes of our city as minimal. But students don't know about this person. I'm a assistant professor. I know that after good example students wants to grow up into professional experience of them. Can you disagree with me? She is one of significant person for us. We are living in the city with more then 1 million's population.Igorkorovchenko (talk) 15:31, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

But the article is not nominated for deletion because it looks like an advertisement; that content has (mostly) been edited out already. It is nominated for deletion because the text and references do not show that the person meets Wikipedia's policies concerning notability. The other two articles you mention are not relevant to this discussion, because each article needs to meet the notability criteria on its own merits. The specific criteria that need to be met are presented here and here. If she has in fact received notable awards, and you can find reliable sources for that, it might help towards showing notability. On a more personal note, I'm also an assistant professor (although in a different field) and understand your concern for your students. However, that has nothing to do with Wikipedia; again, Wikipedia is not a medium to promote people we think should be better known, if they are not already discussed in reliable sources. Thank you. --bonadea contributions talk 16:33, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
