Dear Tyrenius

This is, I hope, the right place to contact you. An article on me was recently posted; it was deleted yesterday. Please note that I had NOT written it myself. The author is a professional critic who wrote it on his own initiative. The reason stated for deleting it is that it was promotional. I simply cannot agree. I have emailed the author, who feels surprised and hurt. He thinks (and so do I)that the article was simply informative and objective. His text was based, in terms of structure and style, on existing Wikipedia articles on Margaret Drabble, Paul Hullah, Alexis Stamatis, and other writers. These articles have been accepted, rather than dismissed as promotional. We both feel that this is unfair.

Best wishes

Susanna Roxman

It was deleted under WP:SPEEDY#General_criteria no. 11, because it would need to be "fundamentally rewritten". It does not conform to style guidelines, and there is no reason why another editor should have to do the work to bring it up to scratch. You state that it is written by someone else User:Odetteodile, yet you have immediately spotted its deletion, and, furthermore, have made the same edit that Odetteodile made to International Biographical Centre.[1] This suggests that you are either the same person or else liaising closely with this person. I suggest you get more experience editing wikipedia articles about other subjects and people, before making such complaints. Tyrenius 14:12, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

If you carry on making personal attacks you are likely to get blocked from editing. Please study WP:NPA. If you study the criterion you will see that it relates to a promotional article requiring a rewrite. You might want to read Wikipedia:Deletion policy. Tyrenius 13:31, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
