[edit] Six Faces

Delete as Advertisement, article written by author's assistant, Amazon rank:2,123,642. Most google links are self-promotion. Author of novel does not meet WP:BIO. Prod failed, removed by new account. Joelito 17:40, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Problems with Wikipedia is not a soapbox and WP:V. Google search finds no obvious indication that the critical reviews, literary analysis, sales figures, or other information needed to make this anything more than an advertisement exist. --Allen3 ^talk 18:12, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above, also crystal balling. Melchoir 18:39, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
• I don't know if I have the right to comment on this, but in the meantime I'll assume that I do. I enjoyed Six Faces, as did a couple of my friends. I have no idea how popular it is, and that doesn't matter to me. Nor do I think it should. It's a book that was written, some people have read it and liked it - that's it. Anyone who is searching for or looking up "Six Faces" is most likely looking for this book. And I doubt readers look on wikipedia to find new authors. I use the site to look up things I already know about. I don't see what the big deal is. The book exists, and (I think) the author does as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lillianbrown (talk • contribs)

Of course you have a tight to comment, everyone does. That's the Wikipedia way. Joelito 01:02, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. How is one "semi-popular"? No real assertion of notability for the book (or its author - how can "unpublished" titles be "notable"?). Not every book in the world needs an article. If it weren't for the presumption of good faith, I'd have to wonder to myself whether "some circles of readers" is synonymous with "the author's buddies". Fluit 01:21, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Hm, I am starting to think that one of you is the same jerk who went to Amazon and posted a negative review without having read Six Faces. I wouldn't be surprised. I am a friend of Ashida Kim's, and I recently took notice of how biased your article on him was. I simply came up with this article to let Mr. Callaway's readers know little more about him, as well as his upcoming works. Semi-popular means that he is not world-famous, nor is he a Stephen King in relation to populariy, but that he is known among "some circles of readers", as I said. His website, which I created, is full of reviews by actual people, people who he nor I know in person. People who obviously enjoy his work. His website counters are "per individual hit", not just "per hit". So there is a good amount of people out there who are fans of his. Anyway, I'm not going to play this game with anyone. I have advertisements in other places, but Wiki was not intended to be one of them. I was just giving out some info to those who would like to know. I'll help you to delete the page myself if it bothers you that much, okay? -- Kana Miyoshi
