Doublethink
Hi Judith, just thought I'd leave you with some advice about the article you wrote on your novel recently. The article has now been deleted after this deletion debate. Please note that this is no bar to writing a fresh article on your book in a month or two when its notability can be more clearly established. There isn't really a prejudice towards self-published books, it's just that there are a substantial number of people submitting articles on their books, and unfortunate as it is, there is nothing quite like that publisher's imprint to distinguish a truly notable book from the ones that don't really belong in an encyclopaedia. Those reactions are a good start, and any more reviews or news coverage that you get would go a long way towards establishing notability. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask :) --bainer (talk) 08:43, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
