Proposed deletion of Pines (novel)


The article Pines (novel) has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Non-notable book.

While all constructive 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.

 * The "proposed deletion" was resolved by a non-logged in editor removing the "PROD" in this edit. Actually they should have provided some reason either in an edit summary or, better, by revising the article to make it more obviously valid as an article or by providing some information at the Talk page. -- do  ncr  am  15:40, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Nomination of Pines (novel) for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Pines (novel) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Pines (novel) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. WWGB (talk) 05:36, 8 June 2015 (UTC)


 * The nomination for deletion was resolved by editor withdrawing their nomination, after the article was improved so that it more obviously satisfied Wikipedia's criteria for notability of books and after the nominator was requested (by me) to withdraw the nomination.  That was really quick....usually Articles For Deletion (AFD)s take weeks to be resolved.  Thank you to WWGB for withdrawing it!  That saves time/attention of editors.  As a point of feedback to RMAZ, it would have been better if the article had included a reference or two or three right away;  it was not hard for me to find and add a good reference and WWGB was correct that the article should have references and should more obviously meet Wikipedia's notability standards, which it now does. -- do  ncr  am  15:40, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Apology and welcome
Hi RMAZ, thank you for your starting the Pines (novel) article to fill a gap in Wikipedia. And, on behalf of many editors, I apologize that your start in Wikipedia is with miss-guided bureaucracy. I believe that the Article For Deletion (AFD) process will be concluded with a Keep consensus decision, as the topic obviously meets Wikipedia's criteria for notability of books for articles. I commented at the AFD. You are welcome to comment there too, but I hope you will enjoy adding to the article instead, and I really do expect the article will be kept when the AFD process concludes within a few days or weeks. -- do ncr  am  07:10, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Happily the AFD was withdrawn and closed, so there's no need for you to comment there. And a couple editors have added to the article.  It would be great if you would add further to the article, too.  Either way, thanks and keep up your good work!  cheers, -- do  ncr  am  15:40, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
