Deletion
Hi Loretta. I assume it's your autobiography you refer to in your email. All sorts of problems.

The text was copied from the Wyoming authors' site, which explicitly states here that ''Information obtained from the Wyoming Authors Wiki is for personal use only. Any other use or redistribution is strictly prohibited... may not be used for any... commercial... purposes.'' The site is therefore claiming copyright restrictions. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly that the text is public domain. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright isn't sufficient.

Your article did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts or show that it meets the notability guidelines for books or people. It is now wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references. As a matter of policy, all biographies of living people will be deleted if they do not have references. Worldcat just shows that the book exists, so pointless, and the Wyoming authors' site is self-editable, so not independent or reliable.

There is a long list of books, none linked to Wikipedia articles, so presumably they don't meet the notability guidelines for books. It seems to me that without any explanation of why they are listed, the intention is to promote the author's work, especially as the Wyoming site is clearly intended for that purpose. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic.

There's a list of awards, but without in-line references it's difficult to either verify them or assess their significance. Some look as if they are just college awards

You have an obvious conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about yourself. Thank you for declaring your interest. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that you are notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.

 Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  07:28, 7 February 2012 (UTC)


 * I've listed Jean Henry Mead for a deletion discussion, couldn't find Tom Averill  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  11:48, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I wasn't suggesting that you were making any comparisons, it's just that since you took them as models for your own article, I felt that I should check them out. Unfortunately the Mead article turned out to be quite problematic. She may well be all you claim, but the article just isn't up to scratch (it may survive the deletion debate for all I know). I don't know if it's even possible to block a Google search, unless you're in China  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  16:00, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
