Speedy deletion of Global spread of H5N1 in fictional scenario (by Cuger Brant) published by Epicpress on Amazon. 'Something wicked this way comes..
A tag has been placed on Global spread of H5N1 in fictional scenario (by Cuger Brant) published by Epicpress on Amazon. 'Something wicked this way comes.. requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (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.

What is acceptable
Apparently you are having trouble figuring out what is and what is not acceptable at Wikipedia. Please read some of the suggested reading material linked above in the welcome section.

In order to create articles that are not deleted, it is helpful to first create them in your user space and ask people if they are ready for placing in the main encyclopedia space. Example: User talk:Cugerbrantstandfast/example

I looked into your recent contributions to wikipedia and it may be that you misunderstand our criteria for inclusion. You can not use wikipedia to gain notability for a person or book or company. They must first be notable in some way and then we can include them. I am pretty much of an inclusionist, but even I would not accept inclusion into wikipedia of claims concerning a book that has no reliable published reviews of it. Anyone can publish any book and make any claim they like for it on blogs and self owned sites and such. We need reliable third party published sources for such things in order for our articles to be credible. And the fact that wikipedia is credible is why people want to put their claims here in the first place. WAS 4.250 (talk) 21:27, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
