Status and Advice
As reviewing administrator, I removed the speedy tags from these two articles. But you need some advice, and, since I frequently work with such articles, let me expand a little on the good advice JohnCD has given you.
The criterion for notability of a faculty member or research is
By these standards, I do not think that Tara Gruenewald is likely to be notable, unless some of the papers have a truly exceptional citation record, and I shall probably nominate it for a regular deletion process. The awards are not of major significance. Sean Curran is more likely to be, if the NYT article talks to a significant extent about his work, rather than just mentions it. This article too would need citation figures.
They also need removal of the minor papers--list only the 4 or 5 most important or most cited. Giving a paper at a meeting or seminar is not considered significant, and should not even been mentioned, Curran;s IGEM coaching would be possibly important if the team had won the contest--if it has, please say so and give a reference.
I advise you to fix the problema, and do this very quickly, before the articles get nominated for deletion by a regular deletion process.
If you are going to add more such bios, start at the top, with the distinguished professors. Holding a distinguished or named professorship at USC would be justification for notability. It does not help the career of an assistant professor to have an article on them deleted from Wikipedia. If you decide to withdraw either of the articles, mark them with {{db-author}} at the top. I would certainly advise doing so for Gruenewald.
And some general advice:
Remember not to copy from a web site, even your own -- first it's a copyright violation, but, even if you own the copyright and are willing to give us permission according to
Include only material that would be of interest to a general reader coming across the mention of the subject and wanting the sort of information that would be found in an encyclopedia. Do not include material that would be of interest only to those associated with the subject, or to prospective students--that sort of content is considered promotional.
As a general rule, a suitable page will be best written by someone without
However, since the name you have used refers to the subject of the article, you must choose another username. As explained in

Deletion request?
With this edit, you added a {{db-author}} tag to the Tara Gruenewald article. Was it your intention to request that the article be deleted? WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:20, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
- Yes pleasetalk) 18:21, 20 March 2012 (UTC)]
- I saw that, realised what you intended, and have deleted the page. The reason for WikiDan61 checking is that all you needed to add was
{{db-author}}
as it appears on the screen here. That is called a "template" - the software expands what is between the curly brackets. When one wants to show the template without its expanding, the <nowiki> ... </nowiki> markers are placed round it on the edit screen, and it is all too easy to suppose, as you did, that you need to copy them too.

File permission problem with File:Kelvin Davies.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Kelvin Davies.jpg, which you've sourced to http://www.usc.edu/dept/gero/news/2012/news0104.shtml. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on

Contested deletion
- At the now-deleted talk page of t c 07:22, 28 March 2012 (UTC)]
This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because it was commissioned by and taken on request of the USC Davis School of Gerontology, who owns the usage of it. While it does appear on the USC Davis School website, I work for the school and have a copy of the original file as well as permission to use it in this manner.—Jriggs2012 (talk) 22:01, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
- The license tag you attached asserted that you were the copyright owner, but the file’s metadata attributes it to S. Peter Lopez, and you seem to acknowledge here that you personally are not the copyright owner. You say that you have “permission to use it in this manner.” Do you mean permission to use it on Wikipedia, or do you mean permission to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported license, which allows anyone to reuse the photo for anything including commercial use and derivative works? If the former, I’m sorry, but Wikipedia does not accept permission for use only on Wikipedia. If the latter, please have the copyright owner verify permission as described at t c 07:22, 28 March 2012 (UTC)]
- The image you uploaded is not a direct copy from this page or the PDF to which it links so your claim to have the original is probably true. But if so, please upload the original - why should Wikipedia have to accept just a near-thumbnail? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 09:15, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
