Proposed deletion of Chris Kilbride


The article Chris Kilbride has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 19:48, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Chris Kilbride


A tag has been placed on Chris Kilbride requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 19:51, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Lost Souls And Shattered Minds


The article Lost Souls And Shattered Minds has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Non-notable book. This article appears to be the only mention of the title anywhere on the internet.

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.

Contested deletion
On Talk:Chris Kilbride you contested the speedy deletion of the page with the argument:
 * This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... --he is an up and coming writer who deserves to be acknowledged like all other authors 

Perhaps you have not read or have misunderstood Wikipedia's notability guidelines regarding biographies. An "up and coming" writer may become notable, but isn't yet. (If he were notable, he would no longer be up and coming, he'd be arrived!) If Kilbride's career achieves success, I'm sure we'll have an article about him. But as he has just published his first book, to no particular attention (in fact, your Wikipedia article on that book appears to be the only mention of it anywhere on the internet -- not even an ad!), we will have to wait a while longer.

Notability (again)
Please do not create articles that do no meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Such articles are sure to be deleted. Since "The Witch Who Was Buried From North To South" is McBride's first published story, and has only been self-published through Amazon's Kindle bookstore, this is not a notable story. When (if) McBride and his stories receive some significant attention from reliable sources, then an article might be viable at Wikipedia, but not until then.
