TINDOMH
Hi Predglyn. First off, thanks for your interest in Wikipedia. I see you've made some good edits to some James Bond articles while you were here; that's most appreciated. If you want, you should hook up with Kevin (User:K1Bond007), our resident Bond expert. I'm sure he's got a project or two that you could help out with. Now concerning, TINDOMH. There's a couple of Wikipedia policies and guidelines at play here.


 * First off, many editors (in fact, most editors) interpret the Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information section of What Wikipedia is not as a requirement for notability before an article is included. In the case of TINDOMH, it has not made any kind of impact on the world at large, and no one outside of the Cambridge Astronomical Society group from 2002 would know what it was. Wikipedia is not an avenue for publicity, it only documents those things that are already notable.


 * Secondly, TINDOMH doesn't muster up to Verifiability. No reference (such as a newspaper article, or a book or website) is referenced in the article, thus other editors cannot verify its existence and notability without the use of Google. At Votes for deletion, Google is almost always used if no verifiable references are cited by the article in question.

I hope this answers your questions. If you can do anything to prove the encyclopedic merit of TINDOMH, I'll be happy to help you out, and I'll even rescind the VfD nomination if it's compelling enough. I hope that, regardless of what happens with TINDOMH, you stick around and continue to contribute to Wikipedia. Don't hesitate to drop me a line if you need any help in the future.

Bond
Good to see another Bond fan on Wikipedia :) I don't really have any projects going on. Just about every article could use work. :) If you've read Gardner's or Benson's novels though you should check those articles out because most are "stubs". I'm in the process of reading them and am unfortunately only up to Icebreaker - so I've got a long way to go. Heh. K1Bond007 16:50, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * What do you mean by appeared in Doubleshot? K1Bond007 16:37, August 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * My real name was used by the author (he asked my permission) as the name of one of its villains. Raymond Benson saw me on a newsgroup I used to frequent, and liked the sound of it, I think :) Predglyn 16:56, August 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * Ahh alrighty then. Cool. K1Bond007 19:49, August 26, 2005 (UTC)

Galileo
Thought you might like to know that I've just been contacted by someone keen to produce the show as a direct result of the Wikipedia article. Won't be as good as ours, though Chrislintott 10:39, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Cilydd


The article Cilydd has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline and the more detailed Notability (fiction) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page here in the form of 'This article meets criteria A and B because...' and ping me back through WP:ECHO or by leaving a note at User talk:Piotrus. Thank you."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.
