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.

Youtube videos
Hi! I thought I'd explain why I removed the info about the book launch and moved the video to the external links section. Part of the reason is that book launches are rarely something that is made mention of in articles. The only time they're mentioned is if they're exceptionally notable, such as if you have so many books sold or so many people attending that multiple papers comment on it. This type of thing usually doesn't happen except in rare occasions so it usually doesn't get mentioned. As far as YouTube videos go, most times they don't get added to the article in general because most times they aren't official or because it's just not feasible to use every person's videos or links. Most times we only link to YT channels or videos if the user is very notable, although I'm going to assume that since you're the book's author (given that your name is the same as the author's) that you officially endorse the YT video. It gives a little leeway as far as what I can post in the EL section.

Now if I'm correct in assuming that you're the author, I've got a favor to ask: would you mind helping flesh out the synopsis section with more info? I wasn't able to find huge amounts of information so I wasn't able to get a completely clear picture and my policy is that if I can't get a very good picture of a book's synopsis as a whole, to keep the synopsis section short and to a few lines. I'd really like to elaborate more on it, as this is pretty interesting. I'd also like to suggest that you work together with a few people from WikiProject Ireland to see if your ancestor passes WP:BIO and if so, to create an article for him. I can point you in the direction of a few people, namely User:Chiswick Chap, for assistance. Since you do have a slight WP:COI in that he's an ancestor, it'd be best to work on an article along with others. I don't mind helping, but I'm stronger with articles about books than I am specifically about people. The reason I recommend working with others is that when you have a conflict of interest it's easy to lose neutrality. I don't mean that you're likely to say that Deloughry could bench press a steam engine and could punch out Chuck Norris in a fight, just that it's easy to fall into the trap of wanting to glam up some of the details. I've edited articles about things I've extremely liked or disliked and found it hard to remain neutral, so I know it'd be hard to stay neutral when editing or creating an article about a family member. I hope you're not offended at that, but it's a good suggestion to get someone to help even if you're neutral because people tend to view editors with a COI with some suspicion. This is partially because we have so many people coming on here purely to promote something, so it's always a good idea to CYA so you can show that you're not doing it all yourself. (Plus no editor should really have to do all the work themselves all the time!) It'd also be helpful to have assistance since you're new to Wikipedia. Navigating the dos and don'ts can be pretty freaking confusing even when you've been on Wikipedia for years. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten frustrated at not being able to add something because it didn't fulfill the very specific, but very necessary notability guidelines.

In any case, sorry for the mega post- I just wanted to drop you a note. Let me know if you are interested in any of this!Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   17:28, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
