Proposed deletion of Dawn of the Guardian


The article Dawn of the Guardian has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * I think it's deserving of WP:CSD, but it doesn't meet the criteria.

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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. —Yutsi Talk/  Contributions  ( 偉特 ) 17:29, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

The other problem
Apart from conflict of interest, we have the problem that your work is self-published. Any book needs to have notability shown before an article is allowed, but self-published works need exceptionally good coverage to make it here. This may sound unfair, but the fact that a publisher has thought a work good enough to go to the trouble of reading it, editing it and checking it, and then at their expense printing it, is a considerable boost to its chances. Very rarely, a self-published work will have an article. I can't quote you one as an example, but sometimes things slip through the patrollers anyway. Have a look at my reply to someone about self-publication - on my talk page. The copyvio bit doesn't apply here (I don't think - haven't checked it), but you might find the rest of interest, and possibly of value. And good luck... Peridon (talk) 20:25, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
