what to do about it

The page you have edited on Andre Medici , has been listed for speedy deletion. I have removed the deletion tag, which stops the process for the moment.

He seems a worthy subject for an article, but if you would like the article to remain you must write it in the WP style, which includes:

looking like an encyclopedia article not a CV
saying in the first sentence something to demonstrate notability, like "A.B. is an internationally-known professor of X at, winner of the XYZ prize and 10 honorary doctorates" , or A.B. is a notable authority on Whatever. She is ... (etc) (whatever applies best). Use the exact wording I recommend, including either the word "notable" or "internationally-known" or "nationally-known"; do not use "famous" -- May sound silly, but that is what many people look for here.
'First of all merging the two general sections.
listing college degrees with university and year -- and putting the university names in double brackets
listing important awards
listing important memberships and offices held
listing books published as formal references style: Author, title, Publisher, year ISBN if possible.
listing some major published papers, say how many total. Do not just link to Google, list the most prestigious papers. State the importance the journals are. Say how many other papers cited them. Use PubMed, not Google or Google Scholar. --Pub Med covers this field better.

and, most important, giving some 3rd party sources. A website at a university etc. can be one, but it cannot be the only one. Book reviews are fine, or a newspaper stories. Print or web is OK, but not from a list or a blog. These is, very unfortunately, some prejudice against people from the academic world.

There is understandable feeling here against articles that seem to be written by the subject or a member of his family, so it has to be a really solid article. See WP:AUTO and WP:COI

If you do not do this right away, the article will probably be deleted in a day or two--though not by me. If this happens, just recreate it, but take you time--maybe in a week after careful preparation I apologize for not having the time to help personally. -- DGG 17:45, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
