 * Hello OhNoitsJamie
 * I understand promotion is against Wikipedia's guidelines but I am in no way associated with the book I was trying to revise into "The Backrooms" page. I am familiar with the backrooms from 2019 and realized while looking through the page that all the mediums of the backrooms were listed except for the book. The book is 2 years old and has been in the news, and there is a potential film and already made video game coming out that are newer than the book, yet they are accepted into the backrooms page somehow? May I have another review?
 * Thank you for your time,

 * Hi, Skycube123! Starting out on Wikipedia by writing an article from scratch is pretty difficult task. While you might feel confident a subject meets Wikipedia's general notability guidelines and that you have enough reliable sources, other significant pitfalls with regards to writing (such as neutrality and style policies) can cause problems. If you feel like you can address the concerns raised in the initial review or just want to give it the old college try, you can request your draft's undeletion here. Let me know if you want any specific guidance or clarification! Thank you! ~ Pbritti (talk) 03:45, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
 * The book has not been in the news. The link you posted was a press release. Also, it's pretty obvious that it's your book. OhNo itsJamie Talk 04:05, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the clarification and understanding Pbritti! It is challenging, especially when everything is viewed as "promotion" even when it is not, sometimes I just want to share cool things on the web but I understand Wikipedia's stricter rules nowadays with references and such. I will take your advice into consideration thank you again! Skycube123 (talk) 08:54, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
