Talk:Divinities (book)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article does not currently assert why this book is notable. If notability is not defined it may become a candidate for speedy deletion. Stardust8212 22:29, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Erm, note that the article's still a stub. All in good time. --Jvd897 22:30, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

So you don't consider it notable that it's a novel written and publish by a fifteen year old? I myself consider that to be mighty impressive, and find the idea fascinating. Wait until there are some reviews and criticism.--75.74.109.82 02:58, 21 November 2006 (UTC) (Cjad the Nord)

Interesting, interesting, I'll be watching this... Staff, you can trust me in that I didn't ask anyone to go argue for me. --Lsawczak 06:58, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Please remember, I did not claim the book was not notable I said it does not assert its notability please see the wikipedia guidelines on notability and make clear in the article the reason the book itself is notable. Stardust8212 15:39, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Please remember, I did not claim the book was notable, I did assert its notability; if I can take it reasonably by your reply, which I can, that you did not actually counter the idea of it being written by a fifteen-year-old as notable, then I did in fact assert its notability when I said that I was fifteen. --Lsawczak 16:35, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Please read wikipedia's (proposed) guidelines on Notability of books: Wikipedia:Notability (books). Age of the author is not a criteria for notability and as such I did not register stating the author's age as being an appropriate assertion of notability but merely as a trivia fact. Also, even though you didn't claim the book was notable "Cjad the Nord" did and that was who I was responding to. Perhaps you should also read the Guideline on Conflict of Interest specifically the section dealing with self-published works. As "Cjad the Nord" said "Wait until there are some reviews and criticism." As defined in the notability guidelines if The book has been the subject of multiple, independent, non-trivial reviews in works meeting our standards for reliable sources then it would be reasonable for someone (not the author) to start an article on it. I should also point out that I am not the one who nominated this for deletion, I merely tried to give you a heads up that someone else probably would nominate it, though I did vote delete as I do not find the book to be notable yet. I'm not sure why everyone jumped on me for trying to be helpful but...whatever. I know it's tough being the new wikipedian in town, don't think I'm trying to cause trouble here, I just want to help you become a great contributor. Stardust8212 15:47, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Whether or not you're being helpful depends on who you're helping. It helps Wikipedia and having a good record to delete it. It helps me and my income if it ain't deleted :P All the same, I'm not blaming you. I'll, uh, go read that link now. --Lsawczak 11:46, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
