[edit] What's Under Benjamin's Bed

What's Under Benjamin's Bed (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

This was prodded as "Book synopsis, no encyclopaedic content, little context". A user placed a {{hangon}} tag on the article. I take that to mean the user doesn't want the article deleted but didn't know that they were supposed to take off the prod to contest it. In any rate, I've brought it here as a contested prod.

• Delete Article provides little upon which to expand. Google and Amazon have little to say about it. Not an incredible amount comes up for the author, either. --NMChico24 01:55, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete - NN book of little interest to anyone other than the author. Pete Fenelon 02:32, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete article a mess, book non-notable, not worth it. ReverendG 03:48, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. #2,178,999 sales rank at Amazon. A total of 11 links returned in Google. Doesn't look to good for the book. -- Tim D 04:10, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per NMChico24 and Tim D. Clearly a non-notable book. Michaelas10 (Talk) 08:19, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - I'm rivetted, just rivetted, to the awesome storylnie. What exactly was under little Benny's bed eh? This editor's writing ability IMHO... ;) Spawn Man 08:51, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - Despite the fact that this book sounds like the next Da Vinci Code </sarcasm>, it needs to go, entirely non-notable. Shadow1 (talk) 14:52, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. The article in its present state is almost borderline speedy-deletion worthy. --Wizardman 17:19, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. notable. Rugbyball 21:36, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Care to expand on your logic a bit? What do you feel makes this notable? Kuru ^talk 21:38, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Pay no mind Kuru, this is a retaliation !vote for my comments at an AfD this user made at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ryan Dollard . Metros232 21:40, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

So he picked one you've put forth procedurally and is a semi-snowball delete? Boy, that'll teach you. Kuru ^talk 22:10, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Excuse me - But why does everyone put a "!" before "vote" to make "!vote"??? I'm confused as it makes no sense. Anybody up for clarifying it to me pretty please? Thanks, Spawn Man 00:23, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

My guess is that while we call these things "votes," they're not really in a strict sense of the word. A "!" in the computer world is often used as a symbol for "not"...so "!vote" is a way of referring to this as a vote without really calling it a vote. -- Tim D 01:55, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the explaination... Spawn Man 23:22, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Non notable fails Ghits. Un-referenced no attempt to assert notability.--John Lake 23:39, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete No assertion of notability. Fails the proposed WP:BK. Pascal.Tesson 01:26, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Virtually unknown book, published by a publishing company with only 56 unique google hits. They're redefining the meaning of "small press" in a downwards direction. JulesH 19:32, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
