The Island Will Sink article
Hello, thanks for writing this article! I've just read it and I have to say I'm not sure this is right for an article on Wikipedia. The book has yet to be published, so as far as I can see it fails the notability criteria for a book. I've looked on social media and online and not found any sources about it aside from the statement from the publisher, whereas the notability criteria for a book on Wikipedia stress the need for multiple independent sources such as reviews or interviews. Are there any sources you can add like interviews with the author or advance reviews? I realise this may seem frustrating - Wikipedia can delete articles on things if they don't seem to be notable yet - I realise the book may become notable after it's published and reviews start to come out so as a general recommendation, it's often better to write an article later rather than earlier. If there's more you can add it would be great if you could add that using the cite tool or, click talk to contact me if you want me to add something but don't know how.

Also, since you seem to know a lot about the book, I'm wondering if you are associated with the book's author or publisher in some way? If so you will want to disclose this - this is a link to how to do this.

All the best, let me know if any questions. Blythwood (talk) 11:13, 27 April 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of The Island Will Sink


The article The Island Will Sink has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Fails WP:NBOOK. No citations except to publisher press release, book also has not been published yet. I have looked for other sources like advance reviews but not found any. Plot summary sounds like it might be a copyvio of the publisher's blurb too.

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.

Deletion discussion about Brow Books
Hello, Slamcooney,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Brow Books should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Articles for deletion/Brow Books.

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks,
