Proposed deletion of Nina-Gai Till


The article Nina-Gai Till has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * The novel is self-published and thus attracts no notability; there are no reliable sources provided or found that demonstrate any critical attention from expert sources.

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.

 * It's not citations per se that are being looked for. I don't think anyone disbelieves any of the assertions that you've made in the article, it's just that we're suggesting that they don't meet the notability standards required of all Wikipedia articles.  (Follow that link for a more complete definition, and WP:AUTHOR for an even more specific set of criteria.)  How authors generally qualify is with "multiple independent periodical articles or reviews" -- this does not mean mentions in blogs or forums, but reliable sources, an arm's-length third-party source of expert opinion who comments on the work in a way that brings it to widespread public attention.  I hope this helps.  If you think you can demonstrate notability for this individual, I'll hold off on nominating it for deletion but I cannot affect what others do; my advice would be to work as quickly as you can.  If you have further questions, leave me a note.  Ubelowme U  Me  13:20, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * By the way, as a general Wikipedia rule, self-publication does not attract notability in and of itself. You will have an uphill battle demonstrating notability on behalf of self-published works.  Ubelowme U  Me  13:21, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I see you've been working on the article but at present I very much doubt that it would survive an articles for deletion process. Notability, in Wikipedia terms, seems to depend entirely upon the publication of a short story -- and I can locate no reviews for the story or the volume, which would be crucial.  I hope this steers you towards the type of research that is needed; if you have questions, feel free to leave me a note.  Ubelowme U  Me  22:48, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
