Great Races, Incredible Places: 100+ Fantastic Runs Around the World
A tag has been placed on Great Races, Incredible Places: 100+ Fantastic Runs Around the World, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of Great Races, Incredible Places: 100+ Fantastic Runs Around the World 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 help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. ArglebargleIV (talk) 21:50, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

advice

 * As reviewing administrator, I advise you that the book is hardly likely to be considered notable until it is published-- Wikipedia does not serve for promotion. The book first must become notable, as shown by major published reviews in 3rd party independent reliable published sources, print or online (but not blogs or press releases or books jackets or blurbs) or material dependent upon press releases or blurbs--nothing at amazon or the publisher will do--such are not independent sources. It is also helpful to show that it's a best seller, as shown by reliable sources--again, not amazon or the like. Please see WP:BOOK and our Business FAQ DGG (talk) 00:55, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
