Maaya Lakshmi (Fictional Character)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Subject fails WP:GNG: this is a fictional character from a non-notable book; a search finds no significant coverage in independent reliable sources; article was created by the book author against policy on WP:PROMO and self-promotion. — cactus writer (talk) 21:10, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete Searched for any coverage. Found none. Fails WP:GNG. Book in which character appears would fail WP:GNG as well. Was G11 deleted the other day, but author recreated it. Might as well delete it for good by going through AFD process. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 21:39, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete - This was speedily deleted yesterday as promotional and avertising. This version appears to be the same text without the links. This character is from vanity publications by the author. There are no refs and no credible claim to significance let alone notability. The author persistently failed to declare their COI despite being asked and reminded by several experienced editors, until this evening. Article is very probably a candidate for speedy deletion - again. Fails WP:GNG by a very long mile.  Velella  Velella Talk 21:50, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Hello @Velella abd @Rsjaffe,
 * Thank you for your feedback and persistence to delete this article. as i am still learning to be a writer on Wiki, i thought this would be a good opportunity to learn through publishing about my own work. I have no intention of making money or even promote anything. its just a test article that i have placed online with WP.
 * now coming to the mistakes listed. I was asked to list the COI- which i did. refer User:Sitanshu Srivastava
 * I was asked to remove the links, which i did.
 * now please let me know what else can i do to publish this, and if you thnk that this can not be listed no matter what, i can provide you coverage links from local news sites that covered it in some parts of Florida as well as in Lucknow,India as well. and can provide the ISBN number too.
 * also, i really appreciate your help and @Velella its a kind request that before considering it for speedy deletion, help me push this forward. P.S. I am not doing it for the money. coz i won other businesses like World Model Hunt. Bragsocial, WMH India .Do IT FOR ME LLC, OM funding Gurus, Ahealthplace.com,  Aeroway.one. earthbyhumans.com and the lists goes on. and i have not listed these or any of my other companies here for commercial reasons. for the book, i have a Non profit which supports kids and i want to donate the proceedings to them, so i wanted it listed here. and yet, if there is nothing we can do about it, then its fine. i tried doing my part and you did yours. !
 * I also vote for Delete if that's the only choice.
 * Thank you.! Sitanshu Srivastava (talk) 13:11, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete - Regardless of any of the COI issues that prompted the initial speedy deletion, the fictional character and the book they appear in both fail the WP:GNG. No sources can be found on either the book or the character. Rorshacma (talk) 18:07, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete per Rorschacma. Can't find enough coverage to pass WP:SIGCOV. Shooterwalker (talk) 17:00, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
