Proposed deletion of Andrew Powell (author)


The article Andrew Powell (author) has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Does not meet criteria of WP:CREATIVE. Google search for his name and debut novel (The Ark) brings up booksellers and some YouTube/Facebook/etc. links but nothing in the way of independent reviews in reliable 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. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ... disco spinster   talk  01:07, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
