Speedy deletion nomination of Victoria Munro


A tag has been placed on Victoria Munro 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. Mediran talk 12:52, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

PublishAmerica
This is a self-publishing company, so the correct term to use would be 'an author self-published with PublishAmerica'. I'm afraid that self-publishing carries very little weight here as regards notability. Very few works that are self-published nowadays (I am excepting things from the days of pamphlet self-publishing by the likes of Swift) achieve the coverage in reliable independent sources that we require - please see WP:RS. I would advise Victoria to keep on trying the major (and minor) regular publishers to try to get her work properly published. Self-publishing seems an attractive option at first, until you find that the high percentage of the take that it brings is worth little as sales are so small. The lower percentage given by the regular publishers reflects the costs of marketing - getting the books onto shelves where they will be seen. An online presence is only good when the author becomes widely known, and people seek their latest work. Very few people go to PublishAmerica, lulu, Xlibris and the others to find something to read. Keep pushing the book (but not here, that's not what we're about) - get it on the shelves of local bookshops by visiting them with copies. Try to get it reviewed by established critics. That isn't easy. There's a lot of research, letter writing, actual leg work, and disappointment involved. But above all, get with a regular publisher if possible. If this doesn't work, keep writing anyway. This one might sell later. Or it might recycle into something different or better. Don't throw things away - they can often be mined for good bits at a later date. Good luck. I hope to see Victoria back here with a success proven in reliable independent sources some day. PS Look for back-door contacts at publishers. Find someone who knows someone who works at a publisher. Gather experience in different fields. Collect overheard snippets (like a favourite of mine heard on a train "Always got some olives for emergencies!"). Once again, good luck. Peridon (talk) 13:56, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
