- Hi. Another editor and I believe the topic to be non notable, and it looks very much like advertising. Can you provide references about the notability of the topic? Also, if this is an excerpt of the book, then there is the copyright question. Do you own the copyright, or is the copyright now owned by the publisher? Is the publisher aware that part of the book is now under a free license? Hope this helps, feel free to ask if there are questions -- Chris 73 | Talk 10:51, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

- Thank you for your offer to send me the book by PDF, but that is not necessary. The question is also not about your credibility (which I do not doubt), but about the notability of the topic Identity Intelligence. Googling for the term, i get only about 500 hits, the first one being the link to your book. This does not look like a notable topic worthy of an encyclopedia. If you want, I can undelete the article, and put it through the official deletion process, where more than one user can comment on the notability of the topic, and after a while a decision is made to keep or delete the article. Would you like me to start this process? -- Chris 73 | Talk 11:07, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
- As requested, I have listed the article for a possible deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Identity Intelligence. Please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion about the process and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2007 January 6 for a list of other discussions to understand more about the discussion process. Your next step is it, to convince the community that the topic is noteworthy of an encyclopedia entry. See Wikipedia:Notability (science) for what is notable. Do you have citations about the topic in scientific journals, newspapers, etc.? Please let me know if you have more questions -- Chris 73 | Talk 11:29, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

- you should go to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Identity Intelligence and argue for the inclusion of the topic yourself. I have added the refs you gave me to this page. BTW, if the article gets deleted that does not mean that the topic is bad, it only means that the topic is not yet ripe for an encyclopedia. Wikipedia differs in that way from scientific journals, as journals show new and original research, whereas Wikipedia sticks to the existing and verifiable topics.

[edit] Copyright issue
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the Leadership Lessons from the Great Pyramids article, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.
Feel free to re-submit a new version of the article. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later."
You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. You can also leave a message on my talk page. FreplySpang 09:51, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- Adding a GFDL release to the original article, as you suggested, will take care of our requirements. It only needs to be on the original site, and it doesn't allow anyone else to take credit for it. If you repost this article, it would be helpful if you left a note mentioning the GFDL release on the article's talk page. However, please be aware that articles on Wikipedia need to follow our encyclopedic style. Articles should be written from a neutral point of view and not based in original thought or research. Our guide to writing better articles points out some of the other ways that Wikipedia articles are different from essays. Your article may be edited drastically to fit, or even deleted if other editors collectively decide that it is an unsuitable topic. FreplySpang 16:13, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
