Speedy deletion nomination of The valentine constitution


A tag has been placed on The valentine constitution requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about something invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally, and 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.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Hello,

I wrote an article titled "The Valentine Constitution" a few days ago. A tag was placed for speedily deletion and shortly after it was deleted. Wikipedia claims it to be 'something invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator...' but I would like to contest the nomination.

The Valentine Constitution is an online book written by James Valentine, an American political philosopher who has dedicated his life's work to this new constitution. He was a one-time U.S presidential candidate who ran for the Democrat party, reviewed by the Federal Election Commission under the ID: P60017100.

Part of Valentine's proposal as a candidate were the eight articles published under the title 'The Valentine Constitution.' This online publication can be found at www.thevalentineconstitution.com and soon will be published as a book on multiple online platforms as well as in paper format.

Valentine has also been referenced by multiple online publications and news media agencies in general (see below).

Given that he is a figure who played a role in an event in American history, his original work, including his beliefs and what he stands for, should be documented in Wikipedia for all Americans and the world in general.
