A tag has been placed on Cherry Blossom (book), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

non-notable book

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very 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. Drdisque 20:47, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Deleted again -- first, you have to show why this book is notable. It's not enough to talk about how good you think it is. Second, you can't just cut and paste the Barnes and Noble description, even if you add more to it. NawlinWiki 01:37, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Cherry Blossom (book)
I'm actually not the one who have protected/salted this title (i've just deleted it in the third instance), but checking the history of the deleted edits, I see that at least twice, if not three times, the content of that article was copied and pasted or simply written from here which is the reason why the article has been salted by an administrator, because it has been re-created multiple times. Wikipedia has a strict copyright policy that omits/forbids taking/copying full or large portions of texts, pages or other works (via the copy/paste or simple plagiarism) with proper citations. The article had a copyright infringement and had to be deleted as per general criteria no. 12 for speedy deletion. []

If you want that title to have an article in the future, one thing you can do (in addition to ask for a deletion review) is you can write one copy of this subject in a sub-user page (i.e User:Guerilla author/Cherry Blossom (book) that does not have any copyright infringement (which is a criteria for a fast deletion under Criteria for speedy deletion. Also, the book would have to be notable and seems according to the deletion log that the lack of assertion of notability (criteria no 7 for speedy deletion) was another reason it seems for the quick deletion of the article (see:Notability (books). Basically, wrote up an article which asserts notability with reliable sources (WP:RS) and elements that are verifiable (WP:V) When a proper article is made you can ask me or User: Anonymous Dissident (who've protected the title to prevent further re-creation) or another administrator to check the copy to see if the subject is notable and that the copy respects Wikipedia guidelines. After that if it passes those two criteria, it may return as an article.-- JForget  23:29, 9 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Was your draft this version or another one? I've checked your contributions history and it seems that it is the only possible version I can see. If it's this one the text on the biography section is the exact same from a paragraph here so that would have not likely passed.

In addition, it does not explain if it is notable. It does not indicate if the book was subject of published works that are independent (independant/third-party sources/reviews, etc.) from the subject, if it won a major award, if it was adapted/made in a film (or motion picture), if it is often used/cited at schools for courses/studies, or if the author is historically notable. I see that Isidro M. Alvarez (unless they made a poor typo) does not have an article which does not help. If the book meets one of those five criteria then it can have article providing that it is verifiable.

What would help is that an article on Alvarez exist but does he have significant publications, coverage or awards which makes him pass WP:BIO? With its author without an article, it does not help the chances for an article on this book. JForget 01:14, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
