Alex Counts

I must say that I am somewhat shocked. While I was still writing on the Talk page the reasons why this article has the value to exist, it has already been deleted, destroying the work of two hours.

Here are again the reasons for not deleting the page:

This page should not be speedily deleted because Timothy Ogden's book chapter clearly demonstrates that Counts played an important role in the development of the whole Grameen project.

My other reason for writing this bio was that while researching on social entrepreneurship, I found Counts' book on several lists, and found it most helpful.

• https://www.forbes.com/sites/rhettpower/2019/06/30/best-books-for-social-entrepreneurs/
• https://blog.candid.org/post/16-free-nonprofit-books-for-your-nonprofit-reading-list/
• https://shepherd.com/best-books/social-entrepreneurship

Sorry that I did not initially include these links in the text, but I was not prepared that something like this would happen.

This in my view vastly overly speedy deletion has really shattered my trust in Wikipedia. Hannoscholtz (talk) 23:16, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

@Hannoscholtz: If you would like to recover the content of the deleted article, you may put in a request at Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion. The article Alex Counts was not tagged for deletion by me and subsequently deleted by an administrator solely because there was a lack of reliable sources. Another major reason was because the article was purely promotional; Wikipedia is not a web host for professional profiles. This isn't LinkedIn.

Again, you can still recover your work on the article through Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion and have it moved to your user spaces, but you will not be successful in drafting or publishing the article for public readership unless you completely reword and restructure the article and cite sources that are not blogs or books by other businesspeople in the same industry.

Thanks. I modeled the article on what I have seen on many other Wikipedia pages on researchers and was happy to put together a bio that for me seemed to conform to normal practice. Extracting citations from outside literature was postponed to a second step (hoping to get feedback in between), but I have learned now that it has to be first.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed during Round 3, which starts on 1 May at 00:00 (UTC). Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.
