Hello, Tawanyh432, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Following Philo, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

Or, you can just type help me on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Proposed deletion of Following Philo


The article Following Philo has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Appears to fail WP:NOTBOOK.

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. red dogsix (talk) 05:24, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

Comment
Thanks for message. I formatted your response at the deletion discussion as a comment for clarity, but you can, of course, change that to Keep if you wish. The deletion discussion is not a vote, but at some stage an admin will decide if there is a consensus to delete. The problems you have are
 * No evidence to show that it meets Notability (books)
 * You need independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the book, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the publisher claims or interviewing the author. Your refs were to; The Nazarean Way, clearly not an impartial source, especially as it has a link to Amazon, a sales site; and a Yahoo group, never acceptable because it's non-neutral. Follow the link to see what counts as proper references.
 * If you have a conflict of interest when editing this article, you must declare it. Looking at the article talk page, there appears to be an SPA editor at large. While I have no reason to associate that with you, any comments by SPAs at the deletion discussion are likely to be tagged as such and ignored.

I hope this helps; not all books meet our notability criteria, and those that do have to prove it Jimfbleak - talk to me?  06:36, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
