Speedy deletion of Foster's Irish Oddities
A tag has been placed on Foster's Irish Oddities, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Appears to be a mere advertisement, non-notable, no references, little content

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Jo7hs2 (talk) 16:56, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Speedy Declined: The speedy was declined because I misread, article not blatant advertising. I decided to tag the article based on the issues, and return for later review. Jo7hs2 (talk) 01:30, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Foster's Irish Oddities
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Foster's Irish Oddities, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process
 * Non-notable book article

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
