This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Literature. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page: - To add a new AfD discussion (once it has already been opened on WP:AFD):
-
- Look through the list of current discussions to find items related to this subject area.
- Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You can also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Literature}}<small>—~~~~</small> to it, which will inform users that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- You can also add and remove links to other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Literature.
Please note that adding an AfD to, or removing it from, this page does not add it to, or remove it from, the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page, before adding it to this page. For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination. This list also includes a sublist or sublists of deletions related to poetry
[edit] Literature - Milking The Rhino (Dangerously Funny Lists) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)
- (Find sources: "Milking The Rhino (Dangerously Funny Lists)" — search, news, books, scholar, images )
Unremarkable book (fails WP:NOTABILITY). Created by single purpose account User:Fred1296 promoting Chris Rush (which is an obvious sockpuppet of blocked User:Tony159). Disputed prod. Not to be confused with documentary film "Milking The Rhino". Delicious carbuncle (talk) 13:50, 5 November 2009 (UTC) - Delete - The book has an ISBN number so it meets the base criteria for notability but I can't find any coverage of the book whatsoever. If the nom thinks User:Fred1296 is a sockpuppet, this isn't the appropriate place to discuss it. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 15:41, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
- I would note that having an ISBN is a bare minimum threshold requirement (for books published since the ISBN came into common use) to even be considered for notability, but not a sign of notability in itself. It would be like saying that a football (soccer) player met the base criteria for notability because he has a jersey with a number on it. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:57, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
- Strong merge with Chris Rush. ChildofMidnight (talk) 17:40, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Literature-related deletion discussions. Thryduulf (talk) 20:15, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
- Merge' with Chris Rush. Not enough notability to merit its own article. OhNoitsJamie Talk 23:49, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
Delete Changing to Merge, as explained below. Non-notable as above, any encyclopedic information from this article can be moved to the Chris Rush article, which is also pretty sparse. Dayewalker (talk) 04:25, 6 November 2009 (UTC) -
- Hi Daye. Isn't that an argument for a merge? ChildofMidnight (talk) 08:40, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
- I guess it could be taken as such, although there's only about a sentence worth of information in this article that's usable. The remaining information the creator keeps adding isn't encyclopedic. I'll change to merge, if that'll help speed this along. Dayewalker (talk) 05:49, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
- The Courtesan and the Sadhu (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)
- (Find sources: "The Courtesan and the Sadhu" — search, news, books, scholar, images )
Fails WP:NB. Is a self-published book by a non-notable author and the article content is literally copied (with permission) from the book's publicity website. I didn't find any reviews or independent coverage in reliable sources. The reviews/testimonials in the article are copied from the book's website, and/or the book blurb. Abecedare (talk) 04:35, 5 November 2009 (UTC) -
- Note: Permission for copying the content from the book's website has been logged with OTRS (see note on talk page), so it is not a copyright violation. Notability, and likely WP:COI, issues still stand. Abecedare (talk) 05:07, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
-
- Vote changed to Delete - per WP:N. Permission noted (I didn't know that was a thing that could happen), which removes my CSD#G12 concerns, but leaves the fact that my good faith searches are unable to find significant coverage in independent, reliable sources for this book. The Google hits are either directory listings or anonymous user-submitted reviews. Without such sources it is unable to pass WP:N and should be deleted as non-notable. - DustFormsWords (talk) 05:11, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
- Delete Nothing in searches to show that this passes notability for books. -SpacemanSpiff 17:31, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
- Delete self-published works are seldom notable. Lack of independent sources indicate this is not one of the exceptions. Edward321 (talk) 03:09, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
