Amy Casil is an SF writer of interest; I think the page is appropriate.

    • I have removed my Speedy Delete. Please note that the article still does not assert that the subject is encyclopedic and may be appropriate for an AfD. Additionally, it is bad form to place images of such massive size on Wikipedia. Kershner 22:11, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

"Please note that the article still does not assert that the subject is encyclopedic and may be appropriate for an AfD. Additionally, it is bad form to place images of such massive size on Wikipedia." -- I'm missing something here -- what exactly makes (or doesn't make) a writer encyclopedic? Amy isn't Mark Twain, but she's a wonderful writer. Thanks for making the image smaller; I didn't know what the heck to do to it.

Reading WP:BIO might help you understand what makes a person encyclopedic or not. Also, please sign your comments by typing 4 tildes. RedRollerskate 03:51, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

After being asked, I did check the "encyclopedic" rules. There are over 60 Wikipedia entries for writers nominated for the Nebula Award. There are a number of independent reviews of my writing, including Publisher's Weekly and Library Journal. I also meet the "professor test," having published far more than most faculty members. If you "google" my name, over 24,000 results show up. This is the author. ASterling 23:44, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
