The elementals
As this page was marked for speedy deletion, here are my reasons why it should not. I have created the story of The Elementals, along with its concepts; and this is one of the only places I can post this information to show others that it is my work. Since in the United States, once someone writes something it is automatically copyrighted, even without going through the formal processes. This article is worthy of entry in an encyclopedia because it describes a work by an some author. As I have searched on Wikipedia many times, I have come upon entries about comic books and other literary works. Why is this work not worthy of this feat? Why does my page get put up for deletion if it has the same standing as some comic book entry that still exists on Wikipedia?

To further uphold my standing in which this page should not be deleted, here is from Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion:

"Patent nonsense. Pages consisting entirely of incoherent text or gibberish with no meaningful content or history. This does not include poor writing, partisan screeds, obscene remarks, vandalism, fictional material, coherent material not in English, poorly translated material, implausible theories, or hoaxes; some of these, however, may be deleted as vandalism in blatant cases."

It says right above "this does not include . . . fictional material." (written by User:Ddn112388)

Hello,

Your article at The elementals was not deleted as nonsense. If you go to The_elementals you can see that the reasons were given as "non-encyclopedic", and "No indication that the article may meet guidelines for inclusion". Take a read of the policy WP:N which describes the notability criteria that are needed to include an article in Wikipedia. You are correct in that the speedy delete criteria does not cover fictional material, so the prod method should have been used instead to mark it for deletion. In the case of your article that you had there you will need to prove that some other people wrote about it to show notability. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 06:04, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
