Speedy deletion nomination of Forgetting & Remembering


Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Forgetting & Remembering requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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.  Acroterion   (talk)   15:39, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

Your material now at User:Whbassett/Forgetting & Remembering
Obviously incomplete or "skeleton" articles are deleted, because we do not want readers of the encyclopedia to come on them. If you want to take time about developing an article, the best way to use a userspace draft. I have moved your material to User:Whbassett/Forgetting & Remembering where you can work on it.

However, I am not sure, and would like to know, what you are trying to do here. If you are planning to write a novel here, that is not what Wikipedia is for - see WP:No original research. An encyclopedia is not a place for original work - its business is to summarize material already published in reliable sources.

If you are planning to write an article about a novel, a detailed chapter-by-chapter plot summary is not the way to go about it - see WP:NOTPLOT. Before proceeding, please read Notability (books) for the notability requirements for a book to have a Wikipedia article at all, and WP:WAF for more advice on writing about books.
