Ashtyn Evans
A technical writer with several unpublished books doesn't appear very notable to me. The article is also very POV. Al 15:43, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
 * delete as per Al. -- Austrian 16:42, 27 August 2005 (UTC)


 * The author's web site is slated for publication. I am editing my position as the writer of this article and the head of this Author's fan club. I am saying that it isn't socks. Sorry but I only posted once. The other posters anonymous are not me. I feel that, while new to wikipedia, I am being bitten (bite the newbie) for trying to inform about this up and coming author. -- User:Ashtynfanclub


 * Many entries on the Wiki are Point of View based. I don't see any reason to delete a biographical reference to an up and coming author. The wiki is for such, is it not?


 * One of the five pillars of Wikipedia is that the Wikipedia"Neutral point of view criterion is paramount. If there are "many" entries that are point of view based, they are in vioaltion of this precept.  Please point to a couple so they can be dealth with.  Having said that, please note that new users' votes on Pages for deletion are generally discounted because they have no prior Wikipedia presence.  And no, the purpose of Wikipedia is not to publicize up and coming anything, but to document people, places and things which can be considered to be encyclopedia-worthy.  This is not a PR firm.Zoe 22:01, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
 * Gee. I guess it's alright to just slam on someone for a user of Wikipedia with a "prior Wikipedia presence" to break the rules presented by the site, which was reportedly a "newbie-friendly" site.  So much for "don't bite the newbie".  Whereas previously I'd intended to become a contributor of information to wikipedia, I believe I'll stick to writing paid guides to subjects from this point on.  I'd hope that the administration of the site pays mind to this Zoe's reaction to my commentry.  Pardon the ignorant newbie who was glad to find a good writer's biography set up on wiki already.

 * See Votes for deletion/Coug it, where a new user is complaining that he wasn't told that votes by newbies are discounted. Like I said in a discussion on the subject, damned if you do and damned if you don't.  Zoe 23:22, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
 * I vote the article remains on the site. Just because someone is undiscovered does not make them un-notable. The point is to have a directory focused on the thoughts and points of others as long as the facts are honest then nothing should be wrong.
 * Delete, crystal ballish, vanity, socks. Sdedeo 19:32, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, nn author. Ten books in a series?  More power to her, I doubt any publisher will commit to a ten book series by an unknown author.  Zoe 22:02, August 27, 2005 (UTC)

=The author wishes to be deleted. She didn't asked to be placed on wikipedia nor did she ask for any type of publicity. Her fans took it amongst themselves. So I recommend removing it due to the author, Ms. Evans wishes. That was my faux pas.

Please delete this entry, and please for the love of God find some way to stop certain users from lingering on the deletion section, as it seems a CERTAIN user likes to bash on any "up for deletion" topics. Perhaps it would be advisable that the wikipedia administration find a better way to stop the newbie bashing and belittling. Damned if you visit wiki, it seems.
