[edit] Rules

There are no rules on Wikipedia that say that you cannot write an article about yourself, if you are notable. I have never seen such a guideline, anyway, and I know of others who have written articles about themselves. If these guidelines do exist, they can be ignored. There is only one real rule on WP: Ignore all rules. This wikipedia is currently in a stage where instruction creep starts to develop and become a problem. --Fenice 20:39, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Joachim Grzega

A tag has been placed on Joachim Grzega, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Pfainuk talk 17:03, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. I'll try to improve the assertion of the subjects notability--Jeanpol 16:14, 23 August 2007 (UTC).
Just writing this to ensure there's no confusion: after I put the speedy delete template up (and posted here), User:Angr changed it to a prod as he felt that some notability was asserted (but that this was not necessarily sufficient to pass WP:PROF, our notability guideline for academics). You've got two days before it expires - so you've got more time to improve it than you would have done with the speedy delete template.
I'm not sure how much experience you have of these things - potentially not much from a quick check of your edit history - so I'll spell it out (and you'll have to excuse me if you already know this): you may contest a prod by removing the template from the article, in which case if we still feel that Mr. Grzega does not meet WP:PROF (and that the article should be deleted), we have to take it to WP:AFD.
I suggest that if you do decide to remove the prod template, you improve the article to make the claim of notability a bit clearer - as was apparent from my tagging to speedy delete, I was not clear that notability was asserted at all. Pfainuk talk 16:51, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for explaining me how to deal with Wikipedia. I don't have a lot of contributions in the English Wikipedia, but very numerous in the German one. Anyway, I load up some arguments in favor of Grzegas notability.--Jeanpol 10:20, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] redirect?

The article Learning by teaching is existing. But this method (very bright used in Germany) has an other name: LdL or LDL. How could I create the item LdL or LDL, redirecting on Learning by teaching?--Jeanpol (talk) 06:03, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

To create a redirect, just create the article LdL with the content "#REDIRECT Learning by teaching" (without quotes). However, LDL already exists as a redirect to Low density lipoprotein, so in this case you would want to disambiguate - probably by editing Low density lipoprotein and adding a hatnote that says "LDL may also refer to Learning by teaching" or something similar. Confusing Manifestation(Say hi!) 06:15, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
At the moment LDL already ridirects to Low density lipoprotein. You will need to add a hatnote as mentioned above or modify the redirect page here [1] into a disambiguation WP:DAB also include the page you want. But please read WP:REDIR and WP:DAB before doing so. Thank you. --Kudret abiTalk 06:16, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
But is LdL used in English for this method? If so, what does it stand for? --Orange Mike | Talk 06:28, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
@Orangemike: Thank you for your answer. LdL ist the German shortcut for "Lernen durch Lehren" (= Learning by teaching). But by now LdL seams to be used in English too, because of the fact that this method is broad implemented in Germany and expanding in other countries. So I yesterday get a mail in English from a university in Philipines asking for materials about LdL. That's the reason why I'm looking for the item LdL in the English wikipedia.
A quick google search suggests that LDL usually means Low density lipoprotein. I'd suggest adding {{redirect|LDL}} to the top of Low density lipoprotein. That will create a note saying something like "LDL redirects here. For other meanings, see LDL (disambiguation)." I'd do it myself, except someone needs to create the disambig page.

Thank you very much!--Jeanpol (talk) 11:53, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunaltely I was not very successful creating a page "Disambiguation". Sorry for having disturbed!--Jeanpol (talk) 15:17, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

@Ben Aveling: now I have managed it. Thanks a lot!--Jeanpol (talk) 16:25, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
