[edit] Article lacks WP:A to establish WP:N

Wikipedia articles must be based on reliable sources to establish notability, and the author has not provided any ... without them, this is just original research, which is prohibited by official policy. —72.75.73.158 (talk · contribs) 13:03, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] PROD redux

Today I noticed that Gale Gand, an article that I had PRODed, went redlinked, meaning that it had been deleted after the PROD expired ... the talk page was retained, however, apparently because the article was moved to a sandbox for later recreation, which is fine with me.

While doing a final look-see before I could MOVE ON, I noticed this article was also created by Danielaidan (talk · contribs), and that I had PRODed both of them on 5 May 2007 ... upon examining this article's history, I see that an expired prod was removed @ 03:51, 12 May 2007 by Stephen (talk · contribs) with only an edit summary:

rm prod, Seems legit by the books available under his name at Amazon.com

I can only infer from that comment that Stephen is not one of the Administrators, otherwise they would have known that for Notability purposes, "The number of works published by an author is not the same (or as relavent) as the number of works published by others about the author."

Rather than being a decline of the expired prod by an admin, I suspect that Some Other Editor simply removed an expired PROD before it had a chance to percolate through the backlog and get noticed ... regardless, I assume that the clock must be restarted ... I'll have to ask the admin who deleted the other article created by the same editor before I proceed.

In light of my new protocol described in What to do when a speedy delete tag is removed, I am going to follow my Warn-bio sandbox protocol and stick another {{prod}} on it ... if nothing else, it will give me a chance to try out my new boilerplates for courtesy warning messages ... let's call this message "Step Zero" and we'll see what happens this time. —68.239.79.82 13:28, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
