[edit] AfD nomination of Jake mcdowell's halloween

I have nominated Jake mcdowell's halloween, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jake mcdowell's halloween. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

If you want to avoid the article being deleted, the best way is to demonstrate that it has recieved substantial coverage in independent sources; a short article in the local paper unfortunately isn't enough to build an article around. See WP:N and WP:MOVIE for guidelines on what is normally regarded as notable enough for Wikipedia. Also, I assume from your username taht you are Jake McDowell; you should probably read our conflict of interest guidelines, as writing an article about your own work is generally discouraged.
