Speedy deletion nomination of Isiplasmeria


A tag has been placed on Isiplasmeria 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that your page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Cabe 6403  (Talk•Sign) 15:17, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

March 2013
Please do not write or add to an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Proposed deletion of Isiplasmeria


The article Isiplasmeria has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Unreferenced article about a neologism created by an unpublished author. May become notable if and when the book is finished and published - but until then, it's too soon for an article.

While all 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.

Good luck
Starting a book isn't easy. Finishing a book is even harder. Getting the finished book published is hardest of all. Don't be tempted by the self-publishing outfits. You'd be wasting your money. (If you have plenty of money, then it's up to you to decide what you do with it...) They quote a high return per copy sold. What they don't say is that they don't do anything much to sell the book. List it on a website, get it listed at Amazon - that's the lot. Regular publishers give you far less per copy sold, but at least you will be selling copies. Try to get to know someone in a publishing firm - they get so much stuff sent in that they often reject on a quick look. If someone there will actually read it for you, you've got a foot in the door. Otherwise, make sure the opening grabs the reader - they MUST want to know what happens next (or before, if you start with a flash forward - it's not always necessary or desirable to tell the story all in chronological order). But make sure the story is finishable before sending it off. Very embarrassing to be accepted on the first chapter and find you can't deliver... Don't throw anything away. Someday, you might finish it. Or recycle it. Or re-read it and get a new idea altogether. Once again, good luck. Every new writer needs it. Some deserve it more than others - make sure you are one of those in case it does arrive... Peridon (talk) 16:30, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
