Alex Vann
Hello. There are some problems with the new article you created, Alex Vann. I am unable to find online sources for the publications you have listed for him, and the ISBN numbers are incorrect. The first ISBN points to an actual book but one with a different name, by a different author. It points to Corruption and State Politics in Sierra Leone (African Studies), by William Reno. The second ISBN appears to be invalid. 152.16.16.75 (talk) 11:23, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Alex Vann


The article Alex Vann has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Can't find any evidence online that this academic exists. ISBNs do not match books by that name.  Unreferenced, non-notable per WP:ACADEMIC.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. MuffledThud (talk) 23:37, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
