[edit] Centurion (novel) is an advertisement

The article Centurion (novel) has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 14:13, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Um, read the links in the message above. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 14:22, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

It's not a description; it's a copypaste from somewhere, possibly making it a copyright violation. It contained non-neutral language, no verifiable, reliable sources, and to evidence of notability. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 14:28, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Please read the links inmy message above. They pertain to applicable Wikipedia policies and guidelines which governed my decision. If you can prove that the book is notable according to Wikipedia's notability criteria for books, then and only then will I restore the article. But it must follow the other policies in its content. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 14:51, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, that's how it works here. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 14:53, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 14:41, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mistaken edits

You are editing an article about a novel by a writer of the name of Alford, pasting in information about an entirely different book. I have created a new article about the second novel, with some information taken from your post. That second article may or may not be deemed to be about a notable book; but at least people will quit banging heads. --Orange Mike | Talk 13:59, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

The differences should have tipped you off: different author and publisher? It can be confusing, though. There is no way to reserve a title for a single book. For example, I know of at least three novels titled Time and Again (two science fiction, each excellent; one extremely mundane). I must caution you, though, about not slanging somebody the way you did CobaltBlueTony. Tony's one of the good 'uns, and does a lot of solid work here. Telling an editor like that to sod off can bloody well get you banned. We do try to maintain a civil tone here. --Orange Mike | Talk 14:29, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Centurion (Scarrow novel)

I have nominated Centurion (Scarrow novel), 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/Centurion (Scarrow novel). 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.

Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages, as you did with Centurion (Scarrow novel). Doing so won't stop the discussion from taking place. You are, however, welcome to comment about the proposed deletion on the appropriate page. Thank you. --Finngall ^talk 14:03, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

The problem is that there is no evidence that the book is notable in any way. There are hundreds of thousands of books out there in English alone, and most of them will never be notable enough to get their own articles here. That's not your fault. --Orange Mike | Talk 16:48, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

I started a deletion review at [1]. Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 19:13, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
