[edit] Ravyn Crescent
Subject is the author of a single, self-published, novel; does not meet the criteria in Wikipedia:Notability (people) Donald Albury 10:10, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. No assertion of notability or verification. tomasz. 10:43, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
- Keep: Donald Albury failed to properly check source sites for relevant information before removing it. Furthermore I feel that a published author devoting her works to bringing to light and ending Human Trafficking is notable. SolowingDragon 11:50, 23 May 2007 (GMT)
- Comment First, I did review the contents of the web site, and they do not support 90% of what was in the article. Second, this nomination is not about whether the contents of the article are verifiable, it is about whether someone whose claim to fame is a self-published book meets the criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia. Noble intentions do not establish notability. Extensive coverage by independent published sources (which I do not see here) go a long way to establishing notability. -- Donald Albury 11:00, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
- Comment You obviously didn't review very comprehensively. I find all information in the article there. But if the issue is notability, I still feel this author is notable. Especially when I can find articles on other authors of equal fame. The good thing about Wikipedia is being able to find information on practically anything, even lesser-known things which it is otherwise hard to find information on. It would lose this quality if all the articles that aren't about people you can find information for just about anywhere, were removed. SolowingDragon 12:50, 23 May 2007 (GMT)

- Wikipedia would actually become worse for including loads and loads and loads of non-notables, not better; the credibility of articles on lesser-known subjects would be greatly weakened if there was no low-end threshold of inclusion because anyone could make Wot I Did in Skool pages bigging up their latest cool idea, and it'd be MySpace all over again in no time. tomasz. 12:56, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
