Curtis Ackie

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable author lacking GHITS and GNEWS of substance. His latest work has gained some media attention, but it is hardly a significant work. Fails WP:AUTHOR. red dog six (talk) 17:34, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Obviously I think it shouldn't be deleted because I created it. Whether the work is significant or not is up for debate, but I feel it is, especially where I'm from (Croatia). I'm having trouble finding his interviews and such he's done over here, but that's more a problem with this country than the author. Anyway, you guys know more about the rules than I do (they are pretty difficult to understand by the way). I've created a couple more pages today, one of them for notable artist Stacey Rozich, but that one has problems too. A page which meets all the criteria will be created for him at some point, I just thought I'd be helpful by doing it. Maybe I'll just give up with this.

 * Don't give up!!! It can be frustrating, but we have all had articles deleted because they did not meet the criteria for inclusion.  The criteria are there to insure the articles are worthy of the overall project.  This AfD will perhaps get others to contribute to the article - I have seen a number of instances where an article has been proposed for deletion and because of the work that resulted from an AfD it has been "fixed" to allow inclusion. My best to you.   red dog six  (talk) 18:05, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, well we'll see. Didn't realise it was so difficult to get things on here! It makes sense though, otherwise there'd be all sorts of ridiculous pages. Francesca :) Barrel eye (talk) 18:22, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

 * This discussion has almost literally nothing to do with Croatia, because http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Curtis+Ackie%22+site:hr&pws=0 results in zero hits, and http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Curtis+Ackie%22&tbs=lr:lang_1hr&lr=lang_hr&pws=0 results in a single Croatian hit that isn't Facebook and similar,, which in turn no longer actually mentions this person, and isn't a reliable source anyway. --Joy &#91;shallot&#93; (talk) 10:09, 1 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete - No significant coverage about him in independent reliabl sources. His books are all self-published which is not a bar to notability, but generally it's going to be tougher to get the coverage.  The sources in the article are book reviews which appear in blogs, or at best marginal sources. -- Whpq (talk) 22:25, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
