June 2020[edit]
Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Julie Arliss, but you didn’t support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 09:55, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Julie Arliss[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Julie Arliss, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Julie Arliss. (See section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) If a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
- It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
- It appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement of https://juliearliss.com/about/. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. CUPIDICAE💕 15:51, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
Wikipedia requirements for biographies of living people[edit]
Hi there, Willisgm. Further to your query on the Women in Red talk page, I thought it would be useful to give you a bit more background on the acceptance of biographies.
In contrast to sourcing for academic purposes, for biographies to be included on Wikipedia they must be backed by informative secondary sources. These can refer to a person's coverage in newspapers, journals, published books, critical assessments or commentaries in connection with award ceremonies. For living people, at least three such secondary sources need to be included as references. In addition, all factual information needs to be backed by appropriate references, with at least one reference in each paragraph (although the same reference may of course be repeated when required). Primary sources, such as information drafted by the subject of the biography in a c.v., assignment profiles, personal website, own publications or interviews, are not acceptable. Furthermore, it is strongly recommended that biographies should not be drafted by the subject of a biography, by a close associate or by someone who is being paid for the work. In such cases, drafts need to be carefully examined by editors who have no association with the person concerned.
I have looked into Julie Arliss' background myself and have unfortunately been unable to find any informative secondary sources suitable for preparing a biography. If you believe such sources exist, please let me know where I can find them and I'll see whether they are sufficient to justify an article. I would also recommend that Julie Arliss should include any awards and press coverage she has received on her website and in her LinkedIn profile. I hope this helps and explains why the article on Julie Arliss was deleted.--Ipigott (talk) 12:26, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

Thank you Ipigott, I understand and appreciate this, so I have gathered a collection of independent secondary sources to validate the notability of Julie Arliss below, please do let me know if you need anything else and if this is sufficient then are you able to help me reinstate the page?
