A tag has been placed on Peter Norton (historian) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://engineering.virginia.edu/faculty/peter-norton. 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.

About 1-2 months ago I found the page about me [Peter Norton (historian)] by chance. It was a pleasant surprise! I thank Morten7an for the interest, and Jimfbleak for commitment to Wikipedia's integrity. To address some questions that have been raised: about the award, both the awarding body (Society for the History of Technology) and the award itself (Abbot Payson Usher Prize) have their own substantial and long-established Wikipedia pages; the page for the prize identifies me by name (under 2007). Some other winners of the prize (e.g. Edward Jones-Imhotep) with books of comparable notability have Wikipedia pages. The journals in which my articles have been published have long-established and substantial Wikipedia pages too (esp. Technology and Culture). Wikipedia's criteria for notability of academics specify: "Academics meeting any one of the following conditions, as substantiated through reliable sources, are notable" ("any one" is bolded); in the list that follows, multiple criteria verifiably apply (including, for example, the Usher prize, which is well recognized by Wikipedia). Wikipedia's criteria for notability of books similarly specifies: "A book is presumed notable if it verifiably meets, through reliable sources, at least one of the following criteria" ("one" is bolded). At a minimum, two of the listed criteria apply and are easily verifiable online; for example, both of my books have been referenced in New York Times articles; Fighting Traffic has been referenced in dozens of other national and global publications, in English, German, Italian, French, and other languages. An online search will also confirm that Fighting Traffic has been assigned in numerous college classes. The books' publishers and ISBN numbers are as follows: [Fighting Traffic: MIT Press / 978-0262516129]; [Autonorama: Island Press / 978-1642832402]. I'm most grateful for the time and attention that you both have given this matter. My thanks to you both! Norton ( talk) 15:30, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
