Speedy deletion of Joyce Farrell
A tag has been placed on Joyce Farrell requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:49, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

advice
Please see my comments at the afd, where I have defended the book, in what I hope will be an effective manner. There are a few things you could do. First,adopt a new user name, only individual may edit here--see WP:User When you do, declare your WP:COI on the user page there. Then try to find reviews -- 3rd party independent reliable published reviews, print or online (but not blogs or press releases or book jacket blurbs or comments on amazon) Some at least should have been reviewed, and if you know your business you should have them available more easily than I can find them.. Add them a formal bibliographic references. We can also use evidence of adoptions by multiple colleges, if you can find documentation for it. But read and understand our policy for material of this sort, see our Business FAQ, and also WP:PROF. If you are going to do any more of this you might want to get in touch with me for advice, as a Wikipedia administrator with some interest in publishing, I have helped many publishers learn how to write acceptable articles the way they ought to be ere. It's the sign of a good professional to learn the requirements of a new medium. Our may seem strange by advertising standards, but if you think about them, they are what is approrpiate for an encyclopedia.. DGG (talk) 07:41, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
